Worst probably but he only lasted 5 minutes and the club was skint at the time. i doubt any coach would have had a worse record than agar given all of the advantages he's had

Can I take a guess as to what your vote is?

[quote="The Dentist Wilf":ordztzb0]I for one wish him well... One thing is for sure despite what a lot on here said he was not sacked or under any sort of investigation...Good luck Mr Rule![/quote:ordztzb0]:



Pretty amusing how some people seem to think a coach who took us to 2nd and a grand final then 4th and a playoff win is somehow worse than a guy who has served up unadulterated dross for nearly 4 years now. Makes you realise how effective the club's spin machine is on certain types of people.

It is amazing. Sharp let himself down with some recruitment such as Maiava and Byrne, but he deserved a longer run in 2008 given what had happened in 2006 and then 2007 despite losing Cooke through no fault of his own. Looking at some at the results under him in 2008 - 29-30 at Saints, 10-11 at Rovers, 28-28 at Catalans he was unlucky.

I agree LC was an awful coach with the man management skills of a baboon.

It's quite simple really, it's Brian Smith. He gave us a taste of what it could be like and so now the mediocrity hurts so much more. As James say in sit down; "if I hadn't seem such riches I could live with being poor"

So there you go. Worst. Coach. Ever. icon_wink.gif

If the thread was "which coach did FC most damage" then Smith would win hands down, he nearly cost us the club we all love, and we ended up with Cleal in charge too!

I remember the game when casey ripped the players shirts off their backs in the changing room after the game. Can see agar doing the same kind of thing if we don't beat wire at home

what do you mean IF?

I honestly think some players have decided it doesn't matter what they do, Agar hasn't got the spine to drop them.

Seriously though, on a purely coaching point of view, Smithy certainly knew what he was doing. But this is a "worst of" thread so I won't derail it any more for Jake. So, Agar!

Casey and its not even close. Time has probably helped some people forget how bad he was and some forum members are (fortunately for them) too young to have suffered when he was there. Apart from being an incompetent and clueless coach with no game plan at all (5 drives and a kick would have been too sophisticated for him) he made some truly awful signings, Mick Gibbins, Terry Manning FFS old never were's. Add to that publicly slagging off his team in the local rag and you have your worst nightmare - a clueless, unpleasant moron.

He did far more damage to Hull prospects during his coaching reign than he ever did as a dobbins player.
