If BA is such a good coach, and is getting the best from his players by individual coaching, it doesnt say much for the talent of the players, judging on how they are performing. 2016 will again be a case of "what if"
As for results, I've not ignored their importance. But when players respect the coach, recruitment and retention becomes easier. Better results become a reality and the positive cycle begins. How did our recruitment go with Ricky and Kearney? Wonder why?
Of course I'd prefer him to Kearney and Ricky. All I'm saying is that you can't label a coach 'good' when they have never had a season with more wins than losses.
And to rub salt into the wounds Ricky's Raiders actually finished with more wins than us with a very average squad.
Not sure the point of the question but Des Hasler. Pretty sure Foran would stay.
Actually Ricky's recruiting/retention was the best (only) thing he did. He got us Norman and Peats - 2 of our best players as well as Kenny Edwards. And he punted a heap of dead wood.
