It's not up to us to have one ..
The club should be getting in a number of candidates and asking them what they bring , how they plan on getting us to the next level , what style of game they want to play .. how they plan on making "Parramatta" players through the grades .. what we as a club want to stand for and be known as . I'd also be asking them how they planned to get the most out of DB and how that compares to BA's 'Dylan is a footballer''.
Then compare the whole vision to BA's idea of taking us forward ie ' start fast , front load effort and chase the collision " .. and see who's you like best.
BA has absolutely been backed and supported by our club for a decade and he still hasn't solved how to get 17 players consistently on the same page. It's beyond a joke .

Nailed it Snottie.
Surely it's the GM's job to replace the coach. The fans have every right to voice frustration and discontent about the direction of the team. But ultimately it's the GM's job to fire/extend the coach and to replace them if necessary.
EDIT: they also ask unironically how can we hire a rookie coach without acknowledging that BA was a rookie coach when we gave him the job and have persisted with him despite him only having 2 finals wins in 9 years.
We could throw up 20 candidates that are out there but none of us know what they intend on bringing.
What we do know is what BA brings. I think BA's methods of simplifying the game and bonding with the players really helped us at stages but he's got us to a point where he's no longer the man for the job. He doesn't know how to get a team on a successful finals run , doesn't know how to win big end of season games and can't get a side playing consistently enough over 26 weeks to position themselves in the top 4 .. this despite having every advantage. Heaps of experts backed us to go a long way this year believing we would springboard off what we did end of last year and because we had our whole squad coming back with consistency in our spine . We've gone backwards and been overtaken by 2 clubs that made change 2 years ago .
BA seems like he would be a good man for a club like the Titans or Tigers. Clubs where there's no identity of who there are . Jake would look great in Black and Orange .
What does it tell you BA defenders when he comes on pre game and says we had a big week concentrating on our defence which hasn't been up to par .. we need to start fast , be nice and physical , earn the right to use the footy through our physicality in collisions blah blah ... and post game he says ' we were beaten in every effort area, ran away from collisions , took shortcuts ' .. while conceding 34 points to a team averaging 12? No one is listening to him. It's happened multiple times over the last 2 seasons . His message is worn out and he's gone past his used by date. How can't you all and the club see this ?
The team must be bored out of their brains
its like watching bill Murray and that damn beaver or whatever it was
The bulldogs, tigers and warriors didn't have an alternative before giving their head coach the chop. That's the way it should be done - the moment you decide your coach is not taking you to a premiership it's time to seperate there and then regardless of who's available.
But that might upset the chimps.
Bugger the bloody chimps
Yep that's how I feel too.
When the wound is festering you cut out the part that's infected - in this case the coach.
Now I don't give a damn if it's a cardboard cut out of Gibson BA just needs to go like yesterday.
They wont do ahything because theyll all in it together chasing a good pay package and superannuation for thier futures. They dont give a shit about the fans and members. Theyre all a bunch of con artists car salesmen. BA will see out his contract and maybe longer until the whole board is changed. Its a joke. Its a business not a football club
Every passing year it looks like you might be right
And that's why I wish a millionaire bought out the club.
Enough of these nuffies with zero business accumen running the show. We need someone who has something to lose and his balls on the block to turn this ship around.
