No issue with this at all. Glad to hear he's going to be involved in searching for the next coach - I trust he knows what to look for, and he has the rest of the season to finish laying the right groundwork with whoever is still part of the core next year.

If a player tunes him out for the rest of the season because of this, well then to paraphrase Jimothy, "smell ya later".

And there it is

He pretty much spells it out that he only stepped in as head coach to help the org, he was looking for the part time gig as consultant,

It will be interesting to see if Alfie continues down the path of coaching,

And there it is

Staios had basically confirmed it earlier today too saying JM would be part of the search.

What a non-story. Did anyone actually think he would be the long-term coach?

Shhh, our young players imprint pretty easily. Break it to them gently.

Martin is doing well with them but he seems dead in pressers. Would love to see what a Paulrus-type would do with them, just get some energy on the bench and get them scrappy. We've had that in a few games this year...

We’ve already seen JM at his most emotional this season on the bench. We shouldn’t be expecting more! lol
