Just sharing for a laugh. Ready made Head Coach replacement when BA is shown the door. Enjoy, Eels.

Good on him for getting another gig so quick.

Thought he may have gone down the road of commentating, unlike the many narks I wish him well..if the Eels were to take that route suggested(very unlikely imo)more fool them obviously.

Back on the horse. Great recruiter. Can obviously sell a message

So Madge will be our AC as he was courted by the Eels.

Do Eels have Mary in the coaching ranks or did I dream that? If so a major LOL @ Eels adding Baz.

 

[Mr Beast]

He's got something to prove, so wish him the best.

Apparently that ain't happening either. May end up at EELS lol

I can't see Ciraldo and Madge as a good combo.

Yeah can’t begrudge the guy for getting a new gig to support his family

He’s a great assistant coach

Just not a head coach

 

[KiwiDog7]

Cue Burton to the Eels posts

What it takes to be a good assistant and what it takes to be a good head coach are very different. I don't think Barrett has the personality (especially not the ruthlessness) to be a head coach. He definitely has the footy brain to be a good assistant. I hope he finds some joy over there.

This is a genius move by Baz.

You would have to think BA is next coach on the chopping block and they are likely to be shit next year. Baz steps in as interim coach, gets a few wins and signs himself a multi year deal with a shit **** team that matches his shit **** capability

How badly run are Parramatta to sign Barrett in any "coaching" capacity based on his record.. Recruitment and pathways maybe, but assistant coach..lmfao.

 

[NPC83]

He might be alright with an established roster and seasoned halves. He also won’t have the responsibility of being head coach which was a bit of a stretch for him. Assistant coach is about his level.

LOL
