Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 2693213, member: 8272"] Assistant coaching is a hard gig; unless you're in and around the side it's hard to know who is doing what. They tend to get too much credit when things are going well and automatically have to be a heard coach now! Or get bagged too much when things are going poorly. I think the secret to being a great assistant is being happy being one; if you view it as a stepping stone and can't wait to leave then you rush and end up at the Eels. If you're happy and learning and getting autonomy then you feel like a coach anyway. Sessions have happened this year where Bennett doesn't even go, Kevvie or Kearney run the lot. Some guys are just suited to being assistants too; Mal is a great example at knowing what he can and can't do. He has no desire to step outside that. Alf is another- he knows what he likes and what he wants to do; he has no desire to move beyond that just because it's time to be a head coach. [/QUOTE]
