The Sharks can today announce that John Morris has been appointed as Interim Head Coach, effective immediately, with Jim Dymock to remain assistant coach.

Morris completed his Masters of Coaching in 2014, before becoming the Elite Development Coach of the Sharks Academy in 2015 and taking over as Cronulla's Holden Cup Coach in 2016.

Morris guided the Sharks NYC team to the minor premiership in 2017 in just his second season of full-time coaching. He was named the 2017 NYC Coach of the Year.

Notching up 300-games in his NRL career, with five seasons and 105 games for the Sharks, Morris will now step into the role of Interim Head Coach for the Sharks.

Cronulla Sharks CEO Barry Russell welcomed John's appointment, stating that "the Club is delighted to be able to give John the opportunity to step up into the Interim Head Coach role and has full confidence in his ability to lead our Football program into the 2019 season."

Poor Jimmy..... always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Poor Jimmy..... always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

That was going to be my line.

Maybe Jimmy should have kept his mouth shut & not ripped into the Bulldogs.

He leaves one club because he was overlooked for head coach & joins another club & still has the same job.

 

[Heckler]

Beggars can't be choosers

 

[Bad Billy]

Lol. Poor jimmy.
Wonder if he’s going to spit the dummy and leave again ?

 

[3rdManIn]

sorry i must have missed it but what did jimmy say about the dogs?

So does that mean the sharks are going to re-appoint Flanagan as head coach in 2020?
I thought the NRL have banned him indefinitely...
Flanagan shouldn't be allowed to coach for a while. He blatantly contacted sharks officials, player managers etc while he was ordered not to..

We're talking about the NRL here. He'll probably be forced to sit out the next month and be rushed back to the helm prior to kickoff.

Nrl on Shane Flanagan : “ Shane has broken the rules regarding the asada investigation he has served his ban of 1 year and will return to coach in 2020”

Nrl on dean pay : Dean Pay sneezed and is banned for also breathing for 10 years

 

[Jean-Claude Juncker]

Jim’s lack of polish and presentability works against him when it comes to these appointments. I would welcome Jim back into the club, back where he belongs.

 

[dogluva]

Ironic that Morris was involved in the doping scandal .....



Anyone seen the NRL meme containing a picture of Shane Flanagan and a tour bus with the glorious comment of "One of these two is still a coach."
Don't have Facebook so can't post it.....

 

[Dogzof95]

I think Jimmy enjoys his job description, a couple of hundred grand a year to be an assistant coach and you don't have to deal with the pressures of a head coach, sounds like a smart type of job to me!

 

[Dingo]

Wonder what the odds are for Cronulla missing the top 8.

 

[Wahesh]

At first I thought the headline was Josh Morris and I was like... WTF???

 

[Wahesh]

Also this is a lesson for Jim Dymock... never bite the hand that feeds you!

you can sometimes bite the hand that feeds you, especially if you are offended by the gesture because you can get your own food

Just goes to show he doesn’t have the creds for the top job, despite his ambitions.

I was drunk I was trying to be funny

Don't worry, I laughed. Well, not laughed as in "ha ha". I chuckled. You know that chuckle where you blow air out of your nose and you bob your head a little bit? I did that.

Not an Indian head bob, though. I didn't see any bobs.
