Still not clear on his best line-up, unable to motivate his team, questionable signings...and overall turning the slowly sinking Oil Tanker that is HullFC over the last 7 years would be a massive ask for even the most experienced, skilled coach, not an unproven ex-player.

I know full well some will use the excuse of injuries, a shorter turnaround, the forward pass try, the weather, this weeks horoscopes and whatever else...but lets face it our first choice line-up mainly made up of Geriatrics and average tat noone else wants wouldn't have done much better.

time to get the cheque book out Adam Pearson!

Your just picking on radfords good points,extend that mans contract please.

Get a top cosch in and top players, soundz simple but thats the facts.... when you shop at primark you dont get armani..... leeds shop at armani and get exactly that, so no suprise to me one bit

Its all very well saying sack Radford but who do we replace him with? Who are these top coaches who are available now? Names please.

Id have gone for daniel anderson even before we had gentle, proven winner, everything we aint got in a coach....

is it 11 wins in 31 now? thats bottom 4 form

So would I but who is available now? Tim Sheens?

Indeed, Brain McClennan & Brian Noble are also proven winners who aren't in work. All 3 have their faults but the two Brian's in particular will have a point to prove after disappointments in their last jobs.

Justin morgan ?

Daniel anderson is available, I wouldnt have noble, although he would be better than radders... and bluey, christ knows, he inherited a top team when at leeds so the jusrys out for me on him,.. sheens would probably laugh at fc if we even tried ti get him over, justin morgan could be an option!!!!!

Since when was he a top coach? What has he won?

Took 2 second division teams to cc semi finals, gained promotion with kr, finished 4th in second year I think, hammerd us nearly everytime we played... mord than raddrrs has done

I too think its hard to gauge McClennon's success at Leeds as he inherited a strong team from Smith, but he did also coach NZ to a Tri-Nations win.

and yes I'd take Morgan at this point, as much as it pains us to say it he lifted a Championship side to a Top4 SL finish.

Morgan also had a board that consisted of people who knew about rugby and had many links to players and clubs

As bad as that second half was, unless some über-coach is available now and only for a short time, this thread is still a bit early. So far we are batting at 50% for decent performances, we should give it until somewhere between 6-10 games to see which half can establish itself or if we're going to continue being a flip of a coin.

Personally, I don't think the next 2 games will be as telling about whether or not we're making long-term progress as the following 2. As others have suggested, Easter is going to be the time to judge.
