Cohen, Glynn, to be sacked?

I am beginning to see some similarities with RC's tenure with the same result.

1. Failure to give some players a chance when a lot of people believe they are better than the incumbent.

a lot of people think some of the following should be in the 23 - Holmes, Wells, Hamilton etc

2. Apparent refusal to change track when on field problems arise.

plan A not working so change to 5 mins of pick and drive/fast ball rather than structured forwards play

3. Difficulty in understanding that supporters do matter.

Recent statements about the only people who are important are in the dressing room

4. Doesn't appear to be a good listener or accept advice given.

Gives me the impression the he believes he is right and knows best

This is just my opinion and I know others will have different ones.

It is painful to watch us endure another transitional year but clearly coaches want to select their own squad and that takes time. As the pressure to get points mounts then it tends toward conservatism resulting in few opportunities for fringe players. Personally I don't see Wells has done much wrong when given the chance likewise Worth. MOC clearly sees the inclusion of these players as high risk. At some point conservatism may tend towards desperation perhaps giving some fringe players a chance to shine or fail in a struggling side. Not the best of circumstances. So potentially MOC needs to be given another couple of years or let go now so his replacement can begin restructuring.

I advocated Milton Haig last year and the year before - just love this guy's take on the game but we have no chance until after the WC. Here is a recent quote - And coaching back in New Zealand isn't in the Haig play book either

"In the long run I can see myself being in Europe for at least six years. There are too many opportunities up there and they're always coming up," he said.

So it means two more years in Georgia and then four years contracted to a team or country either in Europe or maybe Japan."

Mike Ford is in the big stand today, could he be weighing up whether to say yes if offered a job?

[Rugbyflanker]

Mike Ford there again? What have i been saying?!

[RagingBull]

Mike ford has been a regular he watches his sons, I would be amazed if we consider him.

[Rugbyflanker]

We employed MOC so why not?

[RagingBull]

Because we already knew MOC as a coach and it was a safe choice for the board.

Doubt we would’ve signed MOC if he hadn’t coach us before. (Which says a lot).

Tigers need a top class forwards coach, until there is one in place nothing will change.

Simple answer - yes please

My prediction, for what it's worth, is Geordan as coach within the week.

Todays performance showed me (and those around me) that the side has lost self-belief. Confidence has gone, and this has to be a coaching issue. I believe that MOC has lost the dressing room, if he ever had it, and he has to go. It pains me to say so, but the body language of the team at FT spoke volumes.

I seriously doubt that anyone wants to work with him, I agree with a lot of Trendy's views on him! (incidentally is he fit enough to be a coach?)

I was one who said MO'C should be given at least until the end of the season to prove his worth and whilst I still believe that any person should be given a reasonable length of time to fix something that was, and is still, broken, I wouldn't be objecting too strenuously if there was a Directing/Managerial/Coaching change for the reasons you give Loretta with one minor adjustment - the body language of some, if not many, of the players spoke volumes long before FT!

Problem is, even if MOC is given the bullet and Geordan (or someone else) takes temporary charge - if the problem is 'within' the player group that may not provide any solution.

The news going around is that breaking news is imminent!
