He has a lot to be proud about and clearly does a good job building team morale/spirit, changed the culture here and am grateful he had the job. That said I think with the caliber of player the NT has committed to this next cycle already and the fact that we don't need to qualify for 2026, we need someone with a bit more tactical savvy as opposed to a Ted Lasso motivational guy. He got outcoached in Qatar on the field and blundered through the mind games portion.
Concern on my end is who will we be able to afford to replace him. I think some big names would take the job but probably not for peanuts.
