Re: Next years coaching staff
I think we were more getting at him having the head coach role and presumably the backs and defense coach role too. That's a lot for one man to take on, in years gone by we had separate defence, backs, forwards, scrum and skills coaches as well as a head coach. There's no harm in having more assistants.johng wrote:I want to win the League, but I want to win it better.

That's my view. I'd actually be looking at an attack coach. I wonder if its reasonable to suggest that Joe came in to work attack sessions given the Ireland context.....
I know how I'd feel if my bosses told me they were bringing in my predecessor to take over a large section of my remit because, even though I'm delivering results, I'm not doing so in the manner of the predecessor.
I'm trying to remember actually, who replaced McQucklin as defence coach or did Joe take that on? Have we had a specific one since? I know we had Gaffney (backs), Gibbes (forwards), Feak (scrum), Murphy (skills) all under Joe, but not sure we had a specific defence coach as well?

Re: Next years coaching staff
Gaffney never worked with Joe, nor did Joe hire a defense coach, he did both jobs himself

I've also noticed the economy has picked up since MOC arrived. Coincidence? Who's to say.Morf wrote:The roads of course . . .Lamb of BOD wrote:Sanitationoutcast eddie wrote: apart from a Rabo final, an improvement in Leinsters defence and the signing of Kane Douglas what has MOC ever done for us?
