Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3663572, member: 9052"] I've said a few times that I would like to understand the structure of the football department at the Broncos, because if the current system is that Kevvie has absolute authority and effectively responsible for the hiring and firing across every aspect... then it was always bound to fail... and there is no mythical coach out there that could pick that up and turn it into success, except Wayne. Robinson has Uncle Nick micro managing and overseeing the recruitment side and continually provides an elite playing group year on year to work with... Nick would also have contacts throughout all of NRL, and sporting in general, to identify top supporting staff as well. Leaves Robinson with just handling his coaching staff and performance reviewing whatever staff come in... at which point Nick will weed out anyone that is not performing and provide Trent with the next best option to work with. Ivan has inherited a system that Gould built over however many years... mirroring the Broncos system. They've now got a conveyor built of elite young talent coming through and a generational halfback steering the ship. I'm not sure how their sporting department operates, but R&R is much easier when you can plug and play a 20yr old and it doesnt miss a beat, because they've been playing under the same system since 16's. Ivan has been in the league long enough to have contacts, but there must be somewhere else in there helping with identifying and bringing in support staff as well, because their high performance is absolutely elite. Bellamy inherited a system that Ribot setup to mirror Brisbane and now has Ponissi and Bunn to name a few down there who can competently manage their areas. Bellamy has likely upped his responsibilities, but it's a well oiled machine down there with no complacency. Dogs again have Gould there setting up the system... likely mirroring Broncos again. Gould comes with massive amounts of contacts in the industry to identify the best and brightest coming through for support staff and oversees recruitment. The key with all these systems is the coach is ultimately there to coach the team... they are obviously involved in recruitment and staffing, but they're not needing to micromanage the entire system and there are other super experienced people that set it up in the first place. If the current system at the Broncos is to just leave absolutely everything up to the coach and basically have the CEO as the only touch point then it is absolutely fucked to begin with.... Wayne is about the only coach that can handle every aspect of a football dept on his own... a rookie coach will be chewed up and spat out if that is what they're expected to do from day one. There is a shortage of coaches across the league, but NRL has not yet looked across at the other massive international sports where a general manager of the sporting department sits above or alongside the coach to take workload off them and allows the coach to just fucking coach.
