Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He wasn’t going to try anymore, his heart was set the moment he basically got told they want him to coach Panthers again. As much as the admin has been poor, I really can’t blame the decision to let him go. He wouldn’t have cared if we won or lost each week, he might’ve acted like he did, but deep down we know he wouldn’t have given a shit.
If the club had forced him to stay one more year we would have had Bennett coaching us the following year and history would have been very different

if we forced him to stay one more year, Bennett still most likely ends up coaching Souths. He did coach them from 2019.

Not exactly. The only thing that prevented Bennett from signing with Tigers is they wanted him to start 2019 and he wasn't willing to back out of his Broncos deal, even though Broncos were not going to renew him after 2019.

If Tigers had agreed to sign Bennett from 2020 and forced Cleary to stay on for one more year, or hire a caretaker, assuming history at Broncos played out the same way, Bennett would then have been sacked in Dec 2018 and suddenly available.

As it was, Tigers decided they couldn't afford to wait until 2020 and moved to sign Maguire in October 2020.

For Souths, Seibold signed with Broncos starting 2020, and he didn't go early until Bennett was sacked. At that point Souths were left without a coach and Bennett basically fell into their lap.

BTW Bennett has said all of the above in public.
