It's his mess, the buck stops with him (never been a fan of sacking coaches, simply because of a bad run). It's his responsibility to bang a few heads, and start coaching properly
He has to be ultimately responsible. I am wondering now why Smith said he had to refresh the coaching staff by letting Marshall and Poching go to bring in Agar.
After Wakefield the rest of the fixtures look quite daunting they may well decide his future, whatever the problem is this coming period will show us if he's got what it takes, he has some major sorting out to do.
