Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2869672, member: 9008"] Question is how long will Bennett keep coaching given his age and mental inflexibility? It almost sounds like he is realising he can't keep up with adapting tactics and play styles. There hasn't been a team that has done well post Bennett so rather than keeping him as head coach till he drops it would be far better to move him to director of football in the next 2 years. Can still use his strengths in man management and use his football nous and prestige to mentor staff but stay away from tactics and day to day coaching. Give a clear succession pathway to new coach with support. Problem is would his ego and inflexibility prevent allow him to do it and play well with the coach? I know he's been through a divorce and has kids that need money but surely he can happy working for next 10 years on half his million plus pay with less stress and work hours then drop in 5 years on full pay as head coach. Could be brilliant plan but admit could create disastrous disharmony if Bennett and new coach can't work well together roles not clearly defined. For me example is Panthers model. If Griffin can work with Gould then surely anyone but Tallis can work with Bennett. [/QUOTE]
