Mate, if your benchmark is the England job, you are watching the wrong sport.
This isn't football.
The England RL job is a part time, retirement dead rubber.
The game needs young forward thinking coaches that will build clubs.
Not has beens looking for their final pay check.

This ain't Ian Simpson is it BTW? Coz I'll knock your block off next time I see you down Fulford GC mate...

Malcolm Clift (now 84) is available, I believe. But seriously, I like Agar. I didn't think I would, but I do. Maybe I've mellowed over the years. One thing I know for sure is that whatever the coach the number of top class players in key positions is the key factor in success. We are still not there, but we are getting closer. It would just be nice if they ran out on pitch occasionally.

Bamford is a legend but not exactly for his coaching time at Leeds.
Although I'd rather have the Ghost of Bamford as head coach than McNamara, and possibly than Wane.

I was coached by Bamford briefly, it was like being coached by Stephen Frys duke of Wellington in Blackadder the third, “shout shout more shouting and shout some more” I signed for another team.

I’d forgotten it as well, lockdown reading brought it all back. Should have won that first game in the semi especially when they had Harkin sent off. One of many disappointing losses in those days.
