Of course people think he's doing a good job, he's from Hull!
Personally I think his appointment is one of the worse coaching appointments in our history. With that said, until he has a full season with a squad he has built himself, we can't judge him fully. I do believe that he will fail next year, hope I'm proved wrong, I just don't think he's up to the challenge. It's a big step from West Hull, to assistant, to 1st team coach.......
I don't get all this let them build their own squad stuff. When a coach takes over from a sacked coach you expect performances etc to be better than under the previous coach, or at least on a par. Our performances and results are not even equal to last season, yet some people buy this "not his team" rubbish. With the average contracts handed out now being around 3+ years it means every new coach should now be given 3+ years till they get their own team.
If a coach cannot do the job with the players already there who have shown they can do better then why would you run the risk of him building his own side and taking the team further into the mire?
Sadly I think he is here for the long term like Agar was and all I can envisage for 2015 is the exciting middle 8 (AKA the bottom 4)
(He coached East Hull not West)
