Matt O'Connor - Anyone who think the Reds admin has done a 180 is about to be let down....

...please be wrong....

Plenty of top coaches world wide have come from the teaching profession, I.e. Sir Henry Graham from NZL.

I know some people say that Graham Henry wears his face upside down, but I wasn't aware that he had swapped his given and sur names around to get knighted.

I'd like Fisher to get the gig.

Blackadder

Blackadder

If they plan to announce on Monday, when the Cru may still be in play - it isnt Blackadder.

A Monday announcement would be great. They need to call it and get the preseason planning stamped with the flavour of the new HC.

Blackadder

He's the best option but he wants to coach in Europe

 

[Mr Tank]

This from today's Australian - for some reason I can no longer find the article.

Meanwhile, former Brumbies coach Laurie Fisher has insisted he is not a contender for the Reds coaching job. “I pulled out of the running some time ago when the process became so long and drawn out,” said Fisher, who is now coaching at Gloucester.

Watch out for twitter on Sunday night / Monday morning as I doubt Gloucester will announce Fisher's departure after the Reds announcement if its him; especially being one month out from the season opener.

Some betting sites now have M Foley as a roughy!

Lancaster 15-1
Fisher 8-1
Foley 200-1
Richard Graham 1000-1
A. Random ? 50-1

sadly in reality RG would be a lot closer to 50-1

I hope it is Fisher, I would prefer Blackadder but cannot see why he would accept an offer at the Reds.

I fear it will be Stiles or MOC and they will be announced as having a 1 year contract with KPIs that need to be met and we will have 2014-2015 all over again.

I have great concerns that this thread will become very negative on Monday regarding the coach rather than celebrating a turning point in our teams fortunes.


Any chance QC (Quade Cooper) will sign on Monday as well as the coach?

Nah, his mates on the Board are gone just like his rugby coaching career

What would be equally enlivening - and maybe equally enlightening - is for us to place alongside these odds another category of odds, namely

- odds that this HC candidate will get the Reds into S18 2018 Finals (namely, massive improvement in Reds' w-l fortunes in under 2 full seasons)

- odds that this HC will enhance Reds' average home crowd to 30,000+ by late 2018 (as a proxy for essential QRU financial health improvement)

Good call but one would think the new HC is an essential factor in achieving those scenarios

30000+ has a lot to do with marketing and price of memberships or on the day sales.

Results will help massively but re not the only factor.
