THE QUESTION BEING IS HE A FUTURE HEAD COACH?

I for one think he is. The guy has an abundance of what Wigan need. If only we had a few more with his passion.

The question I have is that whether shaun wants to be a full time gaffer, I am sure he owns his own business.

The question is, is he any better than Noble?

I would say, hell why not... He has more passion for Wigan.

Could have the same impact that Mike Gregory had on the team .

We really have missed Mike RIP.

He does own his own business and he was offered the assistant coach role with the offer of head coach when nobby had gone. Assistant wasn't big enough deal for him to leave his business so turned it down. Personally i would love to see shaun wane as wigans head coach one day. The respect the young lads have for him is fantastic.

I don't think anyone could argue with that but it's another thing as to whether the first teamers would have the same respect. If we do get rid of Noble I'd like to see us bring someone new in.

What i keep being told The first teamers respect him more than anyone in the club

Cool. If that is the case and we do get rid of Noble then maybe give him the job for the rest of the season and see how he goes.

Business or not i can't for one minute see Shaun Wane turning down the chance to coach his home town club.

I can't pretend to know too much about his coaching credentials but he seems to have alot of passion for the club and at the moment thats a bloody good start!!!

perhaps when Brian Noble goes back to Bradford to replace Steve McNamara , Wane will be given a chance as caretaker ...

Bingo

That is exactly what i was hinting at. Shaun would put the W back in Wigan.

His sides wouldnt lack passion or aggression.

The only problem with the caretaker coach scenario is that, if Wigan go out and lure a quality NRL coach at the end of the year, what happens to Shaun? If he's done a decent job, he'll feel that he's been badly done to and will probably leave the club.

On the other hand, Wigan might decide not to chase a decent Aussie, and give the job to Shaun full-time, and if - a la James Lowe - he then cocks it up, we're back at square one.

I don't personally like having caretaker coaches, though I'd acknowledge it's getting to the stage where we need to do something.

I was meaning in a full time capacity, not as a care taker.

But how is he tactially? I don't think it's any coincidence that the the best drilled teams have antipodeans at the helm. Saints, Hudderfield, Leeds (top 3) all coached by Oz/NZ... Wigan, Bradford and Warringon (pre Smith) all struggling and all coached by Brits. Coincidence?
