It is a tough one... maybe instill it in the contract based on results? Anyways fcuk Flannagan surely there is another coach out there...
Yeah that’s my point there’s better options with no baggage.

We are the Man United of the NRL, so we obviously will not hire a coach with any sort of pedigree or track record.

Don't like him but can't be worse than this fraud.
Agree. Ennis loves him so does Luke Lewis... Bring those 2 in as assistants, as annoying as Ennis was today, he'd be better than Furner and would continue to help Mahoney

Sharks were pretty stable under him.. yes you can joke around and mention the drugs scandal lol but doesn’t take away from his coaching ability
They also had a stacked roster and made the finals regularly with Ricky Stuart before Flanagan took over.

People always say you need experienced coaches but not necessarily, you just need the right coach. Fitzgibbon is a rookie coach and look at how well Cronulla are going..

I'd rather get John Morris than Flanagan.

If you are in charge of the Bulldogs in recent years the first rule you must follow is hire the most inexperienced coaches available with zero track record, run the club as if you are a rival fan trying to destroy it from within.

The drugs scandal isn't a joke and will follow him and whatever club signs him the rest of his coaching career. It's not something you can just ignore because he won a comp.

If it was that serious they wouldve taken the premiership of Cronulla like they did with Melbourne

Barrett looked good as an assistant at Penrith.. look how that turned out
Every coach comes with a risk to some degree. I just don’t think we need one with such a high amount of risk like Shane Flanagan has.
