For every Maguire though there's a Peter Gentle, Craig Sandercock or Matt Parish. Whomever the next Leeds coach is has a huge job, it's arguably it's the most crucial decsion GH will have to make so far.

Why would McD move on there's not many gigs in his field and very few become available.
If he goes what would his next assignment be.

What's the average tenure for a Super League coach? 2-3 years?

It's traditionally a short space of time for a reason. He's done his time for me, if a option to take us forward is available i would look at it.

Under Mac's tenure, you can't fault his return in terms of trophies. But the quality of rugby (i.e. value for money of a season ticket, quality of games and enjoyment) hasn't been great.

Maybe next England coach?

Yeah, hence the term hot sh*t. Gentle sandercock and parish were recruited by mediocre clubs, Maguire was by a club that knew what they were doing.

What is the average tenure for a premier league manager. Ferguson, Wenger and Moyes (at least until he got to United) have by far exceeded it by being successful at a top club. (Edit - forget the top club bit for Moyes)

I don't see what opportunities there will be for McD, except for England job, but that is a part time position which I doubt would suit him unless he was being pushed. Similar to the players it's a call that needs to be made, but GH is loyal to those around him and I'm not sure he's ready to make that call yet.

Wigan were a mediocre club at the time.

No they weren't. Leneghan had taken over by then.

Bearing in mind what people are saying about B Mc 'picking his favourites, rather than on form' if he were England manager, I'd look forward to seeing Danny Mc, JJB, Sinners, Briscoe, Bailey and Kirke all in an England jersey!

Tee-hee-hee!

Not sure how you get that. We were a semi finals team, having been knocked out in the semis on 5/6 opportunities for both comps between '07 and '09 and only four points off the grand final in '08 and '09. Obviously we weren't where we wanted to be but we weren't that far away from competing for trophies as the two Hulls and Salford are
