Good riddance to the arrogant/miserable sod !

not this nonsense again

in your opinion. you only need to watch his interviews. plus speak to the players

Doubtful. Sheens has recently extended his contract with us. And peacock has no influence given he's only at the club 1 day a week.

If I was to guess, think he'll end up at Toronto or if New York ever take off there.

I do watch his interviews and I don’t see that at all. I see someone who constantly puts the success down to the players and the management and his other coaching staff, hardly arrogant. What it is these players, who continued to stay at the club year upon year (despite us hearing every year he’d lost the dressing room) saying exactly.

By not letting Brian McDermott complete the season, after so many seasons of great success (including last season), Gareth Hetherington has behaved appallingly. Other people I know have been wary of Mr Hetherington's heartlessness.

Little wonder that Ian Lenagan, Eamon McManus and Simon Moran take actions regarding the future of Super League independently of Mr Hetherington.

I do hope that Brian McDermott ends up in Toronto or New York, where he will do well and be appreciated.

If you were playing something close to your first 17 then, I'm sure that most people would agree with you.
However, for one reason or another, in 2 of your 3 poor seasons, you've not been anywhere near full strength.
Maybe this is down to conditioning (and ultimately this is probably under McDermotts remit) or, perhaps you have too many pensioners in your squad but, given the side that Leeds have had to put out most weeks, it's not a major surprise that you've struggled.
As mentioned in my earlier post, Sinfield has been impossible for you to replace and you could say that he should have done better and I suppose that only he and GH know what the plan was and whether decisions were made to go with youth or whether GH wouldn't spend to replace and those on the outside dont know the answers here.
However, the way in which he appears to have been sacked does seem harsh, really harsh.

All that would've been a fairly good comment, given his most recent link with with the US national team but you have this sad obsession with calling people by their full name and again you've got it wrong. His name is literally just Gary not Gareth?

People need to watch McDermott's press conferences which were funny and informative and anything but arrogant rather than his post match interviews when he was still hyped and emotional from the game.

That's three of the sports longest serving coaches gone in a season, Betts, Wane and McDermott. Watch out Radford and Powell.

I think Dennis Betts would be a great appointment for Leeds. Vastly under rated coach. Did his best at Widnes with limited resources and lost his star player Kevin Brown, who was never really replaced. Given the squad depth and cash behind Leeds I think Denis would do a great job.

He comes across as having a very dry humour and plays with a straight bat most of the time. Honest and Proud if the players put the effort in, but there is no creativity in that set of players and it was never going to be found somewhere with McDermotts coaching.

local rl reporter Peter Smith just confirmed on Twitter Leeds wanted a mutual consent departure but he refused to go so they had to sack him.
not convinced despite what he says, that Hetherington hasn't a plan. he's to canny for that

God forbid no

He is extremely arrogant, his interviews are awful and hard to listen to. The way he speaks is condescending and as though he is above everyone. The way he speaks to Angela Powers is out of order as well. She may be a terrible reporter and come out with rubbish but instead of just answering the questions normally he’s rude. The whole pretending to not be bothered about losing games was embarrassing as well.

It’s no wonder that a few senior players didn’t like him, he’s arrogant, stubborn and disrespectful. He’s obviously a good coach but no more than that, he’ll go down as extremely overrated and was successful down to Sinfield, Peacock, McGuire and a few others. Plenty could have down similar to what he did with the squad he had.
