I think it’s unfair to call him a ‘fire fighting’ coach when you look at what he did there. Much more than just defended his way to success, he improved them from one season to the next and coached them as a normal team not a ‘crisis’ team.

Humpty 5,127 10.5k Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) He hasn’t achieved anything of note under any semblance of normality though? FWIW I’m not necessarily calling him a firefighting coach but that’s the one element of coaching you can claim he is adept at. For balance, Rob Edwards failed when Luton went into free fall in the Champ for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For balance, Rob Edwards failed when Luton went into free fall in the Champ for example. If you look at the basic stats of them, their attacking metrics are stronger than their defensive, top 5 in the league for crosses per game for example is one I remember. He sets up with a mid block and does the standard high intensity press, according to their local journalist they’re ‘top 6 between the boxes and bottom 3 inside them’. My point about coaching them ‘normally’ was he didn’t just see a team 7 points adrift and set them up to defend for their lives and hopefully nick a goal from a set piece. He did it by coaching them into a system the same as any other manager at a none ‘crisis club’ did and had them playing a bit of football and getting forward. To go from 7 points adrift to almost touching distance of the play offs while not technically an achievement is applaudable still. Specially in the circumstances he found himself working in, Josh Windass, Marvin Johnson and Barry Bannan being his best players. As someone else mentioned he’s coached at some top clubs, been in demand by 2 Bundesliga clubs already and Southampton have tried to get him back twice since he left as assistant, all of that and he’s still almost 10 years younger than Carrick and Edwards. He just has ‘something’ there imo and definately worth the gamble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or less how I feel about Rohl, I could make an argument for any of the 3 names linked, but sort of feels like I know what to expect from Cooper and Edwards, Rohl 'could' have a higher ceiling. First major job being in the same league as us, consistent improvement in that time with them despite a nutjob owner. Has shown he's tactically adept and can react when things aren't going his way. Give him a proper budget and I expect him to do well 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
