when does a coachs position become untenable

Newcastle knights have sacked there coach under, less than a year.I know BA has good standing amongst the playing group & the hierarchy but he has had two years to build a good squad but has acheived nothing.Unfortunately this is a results driven industry & next year will be his third year in charge.When & if the time comes how long can this club under acheive & not hold the man in charge somewhat accountable.Only time will tell.

  • Can't even begin to understand how BAs position is untenable?

    • I agree with the Fong on this.

      Even with a full strength side defensively we looked frail.

      A coach should be able to improve a side defensively if nothing else given the limited talent available.

      I honestly cant see us improving a great deal as the coach hasn't attempted to fix our deficiencies for next year yet - fast centers and wingers. Lets just bulk up Wenty.

      What does he do? He resigns Kelly and Morgan.

  • Really? Look at what he has to deal with, so many injured players, the NRL HQ breathing down our neck at every turn and factions that continually try and bring the club to its knees
  • Seriously?
    We have a good coach and next year will be a much better year with a much better team.

    You want to sack the coach? It worked so well for us the last 4 times!
  • BA hasnt had the chance yet to build a squad due to the hayne walkout, previous salary cap mismanagement and paying for players running out against him. Next year in my opinion is his year to be judged. I have every faith that he will make everyone proud.
    • I hope ur right sticks.
    • Me too....if not we go full circle again and start from the bottom....
  • For f**k sake we've had a thousand coaches in the past 5 years, last thing we need now is a new one. If we need a new coach it will be when BA contract is up. Not a minute sooner.

  • Stupid blog, Arthur should and will be at parra for years. Little hard when your best player leaves before season starts and all the board is totally fucked and top it off we have wenty team playing atm with the all the all injuries. Teams in the past under Stuart and Kearny have got more flogged then this with a full strength team.
    • U obviously weren't around when the club had Brian Smith as coach for ten years & still acheived nothing.
