We need an Offensive coach - Radford has too much to do surely
He can't be a jack of all trades as a head coach surely
He has a particular skill as a defence coach
- 2017 missed tackles not mentioned
How can a head coach be great at all aspects of the game ?
He can't - impossible
Secret is to surround him with brilliant people
I'd be delighted to see us appoint a master mind attacking coach who's job is just attack and watching the other teams defence the week before
Leave Lee to look after our D and the motivation of players etc

I've always thought that Cooke would end up back at the club at some point for no other reason than it would be an inevitable twist in the RL soap opera of Hull.

what about Rovers? would they need to strengthen their coaching team on return to superleague? could he end up there?

I hope Cooke doesn't come back, not because of what happened 10 years ago, but because he's yet to prove that he's any good as a coach & everything he touches turns to at some point.

The club have worked tirelessly over the past few seasons to rid itself of the clowns and create a culture & environment that promotes professionalism & success, headed up by Radford & his staff.

Cooke has proved time & time again that he's a clown, a clown with an ego too big to leave at the door. No thanks.

During his playing days I would have agreed, but I think thats an unfair statement now.

I would have thought the key decision maker on this (if it were ever to come to it) would be Radford and if he held any trust in Cooke. Personally I'd like to see it happen as I feel Cooke has unfinished business at Hull. His gripe was with the old management set up (Hetherington). Thats long gone.

If Radford and Pearson think he is the right man for the job, then we have to trust them, done a pretty good job with decisions the last few years

I don't think giving him a position based on sentiment is a sensible way to go. He should be taken on because he has the right character & professionalism and is ultimately good at what he does & will improve the current setup. I've seen nothing in his coaching career to suggest he's any of those things.

Well there isn't a job really, just a role created by fans because we feel our attack needs improvement.

We all make our choices in life Paul Cook made his 10 years ago. IF Hull Fc employ Paul Cook I will not be renewing mine or my grandchildren's passes that is my choice

Jesus.

from Judas to Jesus!!

(agree, huge overreaction to say they'd cancel a pass)

That's in your opinion just like Tooms2000 is entitled to have theirs and make a decision of their choosing.

Just like some people would still have Schofield burnt at the stake for something that happened 30 years ago

I'd have him back if I thought he had anything to offer. Having read his column in the HDM and heard his punditry on the radio and TV I'd say he knows nothing about rugby you couldn't pick up from reading the Wikipedia page on it.

Nothing to do with sentiment, my comments were about his motivation.

Leigh, in the championship and middle 8 of 2016 were sensational in attack. Given they were going to be one of the weaker teams in SL, its harsh to judge Cooke on 2017.

I really feel sorry for your grand children that they have you in their family tree.
