Now the longest serving coach in SL for any one club (now that Noble has left Wigan)









That's some acheivement given the ups and downs of recent campaigns.



Or does this mean that he's next most likely for the axe?

Didn't Richard Agar take over from Hull after Macca turned it down but before Nobbygate!

nope, peter sharp took over first



looking at it Macca Might be , Matterson and Morgan might have been coach's longer but theyve not been in SL the whole time

Think you're right there.

Yep I think he narrowly beats McDermott and Kear by a couple of months.

Matterson and Justin Morgan were appointed in 2005 I think but as MQBlank said they haven't been in SL all that time.



It is quite suprising given Bradfords fall from grace but is also a credit to the CEO (or whoever makes the decision) in keeping him on when results have been poor. Its often too easy to blame the coach while ignoring the bigger issues.

Does this mean he should no longer be regarded as a rookie coach still learning his trade?

I'm sure we've done this one before, isn't Justin Morgan the longest serving coach in SL

I'd still regard him as rookie coach but some on here willl definately disagree

Indeed...



SM became coach of the Bulls on 20th of April 2006.



HKR were promoted to SL (after winning the National League 1 GF) at the end of the 2006 season.



(Note: Brain Noble has been employed as a SL Head Coach continuously since taking up his first appointment for the 2001 season)

Why.

Three seasons in charge I don't think you'd call vast experience

2006,2007,2008 and 2009 over 100 games. shows he's an established coach.
