His temprement made him a highly effective player but a lousy coach. He'll never win anything by bullying folk.
As for his attitude to supporters - after an especially dismal performance at the Shay in 2015 I suggested he resign and return to rugby union. His response was to offer to "see me outside later". Pity it took him eight months to take my advice.
Jimmy was a cracking player and always seemed to put 150% in every game. He gave more physically (and probably more mentally) for the Bulls than the majority of us could have done in his boots.
It is understandable that his time coaching our beloved Bradford Bulls is not held in high regard; but if we (collectively) had landed that last kick he could have been our Knight in shining armour (& you could argue that we might not have found ourselves in our current predicament).
That aside; I passionately detest bullys and if that was his style, I'm sorry for anyone that may have been one of his victims.
His response to TPk is not professional but most coaches have to put up with a lot of abuse from fans and it cant be easy when someone tells you that you should resign because you're no good at your job - I'm sure he was as much annoyed with that performance as us fans were.
I wish he'd have told Danny Addy to run it rather than go for the kick - but thats history and I remember Jimmy for the many highlights as a player, not his short time as our coach.
