Whatever happens i don't see him going beyond the end of next year.I could easily see a scenario where Mcdermott becomes the next England coach and that post could very well become available in November.

Who do people think we will/should go for as our next coach? Whoever it is, they are going to have a big job on that's for sure and GH is going to have to blow the cobwebs off his cheque book for the first time in a while.

If I had to put money on what's going to happen it'd be another season of McDermott then Sinfield retiring from playing and taking over, possibly alongside a "football consultant" like Tony or Brian Smith. This could happen earlier with Kev as player/coach if we start next season badly.

Sinfield as already advised the club of retiring end of 2016, and is not having anything at all to do with coaching. That he is clear on.

I'd like to see someone like Maguire ( a hot sh*t nrl assistant who needs to prove himself as a head coach before getting nrl gig) for a few seasons with someone internal as assistant who will take over when he goes.

I actually think he would make a great England coach, he is a great motivator for big games and creates good team spirit and as stated a siege mentality, it's the week to week games he seems to struggle with.

For every Maguire though there's a Peter Gentle, Craig Sandercock or Matt Parish. Whomever the next Leeds coach is has a huge job, it's arguably it's the most crucial decsion GH will have to make so far.

Why would McD move on there's not many gigs in his field and very few become available.
If he goes what would his next assignment be.

What's the average tenure for a Super League coach? 2-3 years?

It's traditionally a short space of time for a reason. He's done his time for me, if a option to take us forward is available i would look at it.

Under Mac's tenure, you can't fault his return in terms of trophies. But the quality of rugby (i.e. value for money of a season ticket, quality of games and enjoyment) hasn't been great.

Maybe next England coach?

Yeah, hence the term hot sh*t. Gentle sandercock and parish were recruited by mediocre clubs, Maguire was by a club that knew what they were doing.

What is the average tenure for a premier league manager. Ferguson, Wenger and Moyes (at least until he got to United) have by far exceeded it by being successful at a top club. (Edit - forget the top club bit for Moyes)

I don't see what opportunities there will be for McD, except for England job, but that is a part time position which I doubt would suit him unless he was being pushed. Similar to the players it's a call that needs to be made, but GH is loyal to those around him and I'm not sure he's ready to make that call yet.

Wigan were a mediocre club at the time.

No they weren't. Leneghan had taken over by then.

Bearing in mind what people are saying about B Mc 'picking his favourites, rather than on form' if he were England manager, I'd look forward to seeing Danny Mc, JJB, Sinners, Briscoe, Bailey and Kirke all in an England jersey!

Tee-hee-hee!

Not sure how you get that. We were a semi finals team, having been knocked out in the semis on 5/6 opportunities for both comps between '07 and '09 and only four points off the grand final in '08 and '09. Obviously we weren't where we wanted to be but we weren't that far away from competing for trophies as the two Hulls and Salford are
