Triple M’s Supergrass has some big mail on who will take over as coach of the embattled club.
\

“The mail I’m getting is the Tigers are desperate to sign Ivan Cleary as head coach, not just because of his coaching ability but with the added sweetener of luring young Nathan Cleary to the Tigers,” he said, on Triple M Grill Team.

Earlier, Ivan Cleary admitted he's interested in coaching the Wests Tigers but is yet to hear from the embattled NRL club.

Don't think there's any substance to it, just putting it on! What are your thoughts on Nathan and how would you feel if he did come. Still lives with his dad, Ivan may get in his ear…..we'll have to wait till 2019 unless he gets a release.
 
I'm pretty sure the kid would want to forge his own path and not live under the cloud of nepotism that would come with playing under his father. I'd rate it no chance of happening.
 
The club can't be that dumb. We should go after Ivan as a coach because he is the best coaching option that we have.

I'd love to have Nathan here but picking his dad to be coach to try and get the kid is dumb.

So it's probably true.
 
I'm surprised this took nearly 48hrs to pop up…

I think Nelson is on the money..
 
He will be with the Panthers for 10 years. We are an inferior club and his father being coach is even more reason he would not play for the Tigers.

I remember watching an interview with Ivan when Nathan cracked NRL, Ivan said he would love to coach his son one day. I actually thought then, sack JT and get Ivan now before the kid re-signs at Penrith.
 
I don't think fathers coaching sons in the top grade is a good idea. Most sons seem to want to make their own mark on the game without the assistance of their 'famous' dads. Has there been a precedent of a father coaching his son in the ARL/NRL? I can't think of any.

I'm sure the thought of sacking JT crossed many fans minds on multiple occasions. He's a level headed kid like his father it could work. The last time I coached my kids team I nearly levelled the parents. It's tough.

Not since the good Old Days of John and Martin Lang.

There IS a 4th generation kid at the Titans now, Max King
 
I don't think he will come and by all accounts he has similar deficiencies in defence to our guys.
