BUT if you sack a coach to appease fans, we’d better have a viable successor lined up. If we sack a coach to increase on-field performance, we’d better hope the club can change a whole lot more than just the on-field tactics. Either way, the administration of the club will be held accountable by us fans, so sacking the coach can result in a lot more positions coming under threat. Which can only help.

Legendary NFL Coach of the Green Bay Packers, Vince Lombardi acknowledged the precarious nature of the coaching role when he said:
“If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm”...
 
Sackings won’t change anything.
They are all responsible for this mess and must stick together and fight their way out of it. This is our 11th season of utter failure.
No excuses will cut it. Just man up and start trying harder.

They have Dug the hole Let then figure out how to get out of it. There is no easy way out of this you carnt buy your way out like the dogs. You carnt get the best coach on the market and expect it to happen like the knights. You carnt buy all the most experienced player on the market like the dragons. It’s gotta be a 5 year plan like the panthers that’s our only way out

It will be interesting to see who pulls the trigger first - us, dogs or saints. It was interesting to see that saints have won only 1 game in the past 13 - even we have managed 3 in that time.

True, but in that 5 year plan which in reality extended to 10 years they missed the finals 4 times. 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2019.
The roster in 2011 / 2012 was more than capable of competing it was an aging roster with a mix of youth from their 2010 campaign and some old heads from earlier years.
The 2013 / 2014 / 2015 roster was a team of outsiders. Aside from Peter Wallace they mostly filled the squad with enough capable first graders to enable them to stay competitive.
2016 / 2017 / 2018 roster was mostly the emerging young talent coming through, blooding some that have remained still and surviving with one or two Marquee signings. Trent Merrin mostly with Maloney and Tamou added in the later stages.
2019 is when it all started to happen for them. About part way through the season players that they had persisted with for a number of years DWZ, Blake, RCG hadn’t been at their best and the emerging talent again was looking like forcing its way through. That year they got serious. They almost sacrificed the outcome of that year to change from an inconsistent but exciting team to a more structured and composed side.

Long story short. The younger talent was there bubbling below the surface. At this stage our younger talent is about 3-4 years off making us competitive.

Do you really think this? All I know is that younger players are superstars at an early age (enter Sam Walker, Toulatau Koula, Dominic Young etc.). They have already made a mark. By comparison, Jock Madden is someway behind as are a lot of our other young guns?
