He can have a thread but saying he can't coach is abit rich.
We haven't had a proper coach since Robert walls 1987 who coached us to anything significant.
Players won 1995 with their own empowerment.
Maybe we need to find players with not just skills but coaching prowess

It's "The can John Barker coach thread?!" not the "John Barker can't coach thread!"

It's irrelevant if he can coach. He will not get the job under any circumstances.

The club are trying to save face. You don't do that by going through an exhaustive process only to appoint the caretaker...

I agree that I'm on the outside looking in but i haven't seen any evidence of our coaching staff being any good.

I wasn't sure about Mick, but I supported him. I'm not sure about JB, but I'll support him. Let's hope he can bring some competitiveness back to our team each week.

The mods named the thread.

Even they aren't sure whether he can coach or not ........

Friday might be an eye opener :grin:

GWS have Mark McVeigh as their 'defensive coach', while Cornes is the line coach for the defence.

Cornes coaches them how to defend on the field while McVeigh coaches them to answer "vitamins" to questions off it.

All the very best JB , hopfully a fresh vision and differenti approch wil motivate the players. Let's see what he brings, and hoe the team responds. Moral is shot so won't be easy.
Hopefully his appointment will keep the hysterical media and some snarling supports at bay until due procees of selectiing new coaching and development teams and structure are put in place.
Don't envy hie position one bit.
Ciao
