The title doesn't do it justice but it may be worth while to note that the past 4 coaches of the Bulldogs:
Warren Ryan
Phil Gould
Chris Anderson
Steve Folkes
Are ALL premiership winning coaches :D

Sounds good to me :D

Yeah that is a crazy stat that I heard a fair while ago now but it never ceases to amaze.

Hopefully Tadpole adds to that statistic sooner rather than later.

Also, all our last 5 coaches beside Chris Anderson took us to a grand-final in either their 1st or 2nd season with us.

In a Bulldogs discussion, that seems logical.:whacky:
Same as idris not being slow but being slow over 20. Extreme logic there

Folkes might end up coaching at Souths, Roddy said we have a good culture to have 5 former players/coaches i wanted a comparison.

Lol yeh but like half the teams coaches played for the dogs. We just make good coaches.
Take a look at the 1988 Grand Final winning side. Hagan, Lamb, Folkes and Farrar all went on to coach at NRL and/or ARL Level. Great coaches are able to impart their knowledge. That's why they win Grand Finals.

Yeah Hagan, Farrar, Lamb, Folkes, Langmack, Gould, Stuart, Moore..... They all played at the club and coached recently or still coach in the NRL.

I'd say Canterbury, Canberra and Penrith are the three clubs that have had the most players become FG coaches.

Also, Folkes took the Dogs to their grandfinal in his rookie year...Sadly they lost. Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself.

First year coaches also have a good record of either making or winning an NRL GF in their first year.

Folkes in 98 took our team to the GF. Michael Hagan with Newcastle in 2001, Ricky Stuart with Rosters in 2002 (both won as coaches of their respective teams in those years)

I think Phil Gould in 1988 won a premiership in his first year of caoching also

How about this GF stat:

85 - Won (Dragons)
86 - Lost (Eels)
88 - Won (Tigers)
94 - Lost (Canberra)
95 - Won (Manly)
98 - Lost (Broncos)
04 - Won (Rorters)
09 - ?

We have to break the pattern...
