If you were offered the Head coach's job - : Mon Mar 19, 2012 10:43 pm
I was thinking about this on my way in to work this morning and I'm going to ask you all what you would do to sort the mess out if you were head coach at Saints now I would:
Ban use of twitter the night before game day and anybody found using it would be dropped from the squad and replaced that weekend! Twitter would only be allowed post match and on your rest day only.
Organise a three day boot camp with the Royal Marines to a) Increase Fitness, b) Improve Stamina, c) Re-instil the Killer Instinct that we're sadly lacking.
Pick a squad based on capability and not on reputation
Re-register KC and get him on that boot camp as a priority.
Refuse to play players out of position unless absolutely necessary
Refuse to rotate the squad unless necessary
Ensure tackling technique is mastered so that silly penalties are not conceded
Refuse to play Meli and Flannery until they improve their defensive standards (which has never happened in all my time of Watching them in the Saints team.)
Recruit for positions that we need and respectfully ask for transfer fees from the board if needs be.
I would develop a Plan B, C, D, and E if Plan A fails. If needs be a mixture of all plans to be implemented so that our attack becomes unpredictable.
Ensure defence is solid and not reckless.
Ensure that the teams mentality is that they succeed as a team and they fail as a team, no individual will be singled out as the reason for success or failure.
Looking forward to your thoughts on this
