Message: [QUOTE="heartly87, post: 3674652, member: 8651"] I was thinking about this yesterday. Kevs first year was similar to this. Messaging all over the place, wobbly press interaction, death riding Hass (Carrigan), terrible bench rotation and player selection. The ship steadied once Ikin came in, recruitment and retention improved but Kev didn't get the credit and the rest is history. Dearden looked like a guy who didn't know what the coach wanted and pulled the plug before his career was completely ruined. I strongly believe Kevs ousting of Ikin ended his coaching career. I personally have no evidence but believe it was about nepotism issues in the coaching team and on field plus Ikin getting media attention that caused the rift. But whatever the cause Kev was left to his own devices and just like 21 he took on too much responsibility and lost focus. His best years as coach at the Broncos had involvement from Ikin, our best years of recruitment had Ikin around and the same goes for player behaviour and attitude. [/QUOTE]
