Who should be the new Parramatta Eels coach?

Question

Who should replace Brian Smith? Was Smith responsible for the Eels poor performance this year?

Answer 1

Michael Hagan

Answer 2

Do you mean for this year, or next year and beyond?

Next year, and beyond, the Eels will have Micheal Hagan, the current coach of the Newcastle Knights.

This year, well, as the football club already has a first grade coach coming for next year, are there any coaches out there that would be happy to coach a side for just the rest of this season, and have no assurance there could be an extension to their contract if they provided a good service to the club.  In other words, who is stupid enough to take the job for just one season. This is why they have promoted their reserve grade coach, Jason Taylor, who is going to South Sydney next year.
