Glenn Morrison: Next Bulls coach? : Wed Jun 17, 2009 4:42 pm  

http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/blogPost ... 0BE%20BACK One thing the lay off has given me is another chance to see things from off the field. I'd like to get more into coaching when I eventually do finish, I've got my level two badge that gets me in to taking juniors and sitting with Macca and on the side line has offered a slightly different perspective and allowed me to pick up on some different things and ideas. I've been trying to have an input around the guys verbally and offer some help so it has been good in that sense but that's behind me now and I just want to look forward and play. Interesting. Anyone think Morrison could be the next Bradford coach if McNamara fails to have a good run in the play-offs? Would he be a popular choice? Looks like he doesn't have the full qualifications yet mind.

There's no danger of McNamara being sacked anyway, judging by the noises from the fans forum last week.

And rightly so as well, the board and Steve himself seem to be laying down some fantastic foundations for the future, I couldn't see him getting sacked this year.

I thought Hood was on record of saying that success this season was a good run in the play-offs, implying there would be changes if this does not happen?

In any case, perhaps any new coach would be best not promoted from within this time - a breath of fresh air and a new perspective is probably needed if Bradford don't make the play-offs.

No, Hood wouldn't be drawn on any likely consequences of us not having "a good run in the playoffs". I guess that's sensible as there could be all sorts of circumstances to take into account.

Next head coach, not sure about that. But I would like to see him AND Menzies added to the coaching staff when they chose to hang up their boots

They'd have to do their badges to get a work permit IIRC.

but to how high a level? morrisons already got basic ones, could he do the higher levels whilst still playing?

jack in the stupid sack the coach talk, or who will be the next coach, i hope they don't sack him, regardless of how we go in the play-offs they will not sack him, it would be pointless. Paul Medley clearly stated what he is trying to achieve and i definately back him.

Still backing Macca so not in the near future anyway. Morrison would be a good addition to the coaching staff and would do an excellent job of passing his experience onto the youngsters. If he could get them to show half the heart that he does on the pitch that would be a good thing. Maybe when Macca finally does move on, in many years then promotion from within may still be top on the list.

It's all well and good laying foundations but it's results at first team level that keeps the club afloat and too many people are forgetting this.
