It would be ridiculous which is why I doubt it's under serious consideration. I hope so anyway. I think everyone has had it with father than son duos in important positions for a while.
Coach from 2027

Well Tim Watsford who was watching another loss at Kogarah against the Warriors has come out publicly and said that the interviews for our new head coach will commence in June.
My only advice, is take your time and make sure you select the right head coach. I personally fear that this current crop of talented young forwards will be wasted or lost if you don't.

Were they giving Deano a few weeks to see what he could do and have now determined he's not up to the job?
Totally agree

Don't know but to me he was never the answer. In my experience the three main factors in retaining and recruiting has always been:
1. Money, money, money
2. The ability of the club to have a competitive top 4 team and a chance of playing in a GF
3. The coach, can he improve me? Do I want to be coached by him? Is he rated highly.

Arthur's has turned them around

When Arthur took over Parra they were in crisis. He turned them into a premiership heavyweight pretty quickly. He might have overstayed a bit and the roster needed to be regenerated but that happens a lot to long-term coaches. That's the way I see it anyway. I'd be happy for him or Cheika to be appointed. Hornby a distant 3rd.

Brad Arthur ticks alot of boxes without the main one for our board, an old boy. I doubt they'll pick him, unsure if his relo with Ando at the eels was positive or not but hopefully positive. I'd be happy with Arthur.

brad arthur is younger than Cleary ... to a man we would all get behind ivan if he came over. age isnt an issue
ability/experience/plan are the big three things and arthur would have that 3 zip over dean

Arthur is 5ish years older than Hornby, age isn't an issue, it's adaptability to the rules. He took eels to multiple finals, built a great roster but wasn't able to rejuvenate it properly. Apart from Bellamy, all coaches get sacked or move on.
Holbrook is doing wonders at the Knights because his style of coaching suits the current rules. I don't imagine the game slowing down next season, heaps of sports are getting faster & rewarding attack more than ever. Defs need a good attack coach.
