Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3280517, member: 9853"] Realistically, Kevvie is not going to be sacked this season. I don't think anyone genuinely wants that. Not because he needs more time to find his feet, but because it would be extremely bad for the club to go down that path right now. Let's be honest: none of us expected him to be much of a coach. We all hoped he would be, but it was never about that. It was about hitting a reset on a club culture that's lost its way. It was about building a bridge back to the glory days. Sacking him now would not be draining the swamp. He would be yet another fall guy in a conga line of fall guys that started with Bennett leaving in 2009. This season is about throwing every piece of shit against the wall to see if anything sticks. So far, it doesn't look like much. But you can only get so far with sacking as a solution. At some point you have to replace with better. That hasn't happened this season. Except maybe for Donuts, and there is a glimmer of hope in Reynolds. Or he could be the next Darius Boyd, turning up for his last paycheck. Not identifying Reece Walsh, debasing ourselves over Nicho Hynes and now flailing dickless with Isaako in the ISC is an all time low in the all the years I've been watching the Broncos. And that's from the first game against Manly in 1988, and through the next couple of years when fans were calling for Wayne Bennett's head. We have now reached the point where Kevvie is fair game for criticism. His goodwill honeymoon is over. But the club needs to navigate the rest of his contract gracefully and not tarnish its golden years by shitting in what's left of its nest. If I were Donuts, around about now, I'd be deciding whether Kevvie is worth the perseverance, but I wouldn't be looking at sacking him. I'd be shuffling the deck beneath and above him, by replacing all his support staff and, if possible, bringing back Wayne Bennett in a grandfather role. I would be installing potential successors beneath him. That might be someone like Cameron Smith. Make no mistake: killing off Kevvie at this point would be killing off the old club while keeping the current one. Careful what you wish for. [/QUOTE]
