maybe time to stop getting the young unproven coaches and get some experience in.

Came across this again , for me if Monty was to lose his job ( which I hope doesn't happen) I give the job to SD till the end of the season to see how he does .His records not bad every time he's been asked to do the job especially when it's normally been when the teams been doing poorly .

I have no strong opinions on Gray as a coach either way.
I think if he wants the managers gig for himself, which apparently is the case, then he's going to have to spread his wings and go and get a bit experience elsewhere first.
If he was getting the Hibs job then it would have been when it was last available pre Montgomery.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I've never heard or read of any other club being interested in David Gray as a coach or manager.

Absolutely not. He's part of the current coaching team who pick baffling teams consisting of out of form players and players out of position. And formation and tactics which allows teams to slice through us at will. He needs to go too.

It's why he's worked at some major clubs
Not such a rated manager ofcourse!

I don’t think anyone here can genuinely predict how well SDG would do at the job, given how few games he’s managed.
I also don’t think anyone can genuinely know how responsible he is for our *****ness. The buck stops with the manager.
We need an experienced safe pair of hands. It’s too big a job for a rookie to sort Hibs out. He should go and cut his teeth somewhere else and come back when he’s earned the opportunity to be the main man.

No to SDG as permanent manager. I would hate to think of him tarnishing his legacy at the club, much as I'd love him to be a success. If he is to become a manager he needs to go and do it at a lower level and if successful, work his way into the Hibs job which would obviously be available to him at some point. I think he's likely very aware of this and don't get much impression he wants to manage.

Not bad at all. It’s too easy to dismiss this as an expected new manager bounce - he’s only ever been the caretaker of a group of players short on confidence and form.

You too can benefit from that experience, by signing up to his online coaching sessions.
No doubt applicable to all walks of life, including the special forces, and not just football.

The Dunfermilne job looks like it might be coming up soon, McPake is a dead man walking. That would be a good gig for Gray to cut his teeth as his own man imo, I'm sure the door would always be open at ER if he was to do well.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.

After three managers with no SPL managerial experience, SDG's minimal caretaker experience would be too much of a gamble for me.
A few bad results and folk would turn on him. I'd prefer his legend status wasn't tarnished by that.

A lot of folk seem to be getting coaches confused with managers and picking the team here.

A bizaare accusation levelled at Gray that he has had any final say in team selections under the last 3 managers.

If posters don’t like the idea of him being our next manager based on his lack of experience in that role then fair enough. If they want to discuss the merits of our set pieces then again fair enough as it would at least be a conversation about his actual role in the coaching set up.
I don’t know if David Gray is the man to manage Hibs, appointing him would certainly be a bigger gamble than other names being mentioned and I’m not saying it’s what we should do, but I do believe he’d have done a better job than the last three managers.

Gray can coach as much as he wants but when a manager throws in 2 rookies into the defence, there's not much his coaching can do, Triantis must've had 2 training session with his team mates before playing.

The first 3 games of the season we lost 5 goals and defensively we were really poor . The pittodrie game after LJ had left we looked more structured and had a bit of steel about us . I was very surprised with the performance and result that day considering how the other 3 games had went .

The management are a team. So yes, they all need to go. A new manager should bring in the folk he wants.

I actually think David Gray would be a decent enough manager for usb if he had to step in until the end of the season.
I think he would go back to basics and play the best players available to him, sounds simple I know but it doesn’t always seem to be the case.
I think he’d have them in a structured formation, no mucking about and get the ball to those that can do something with it.
I would actually be semi confident he’d get us top 6, something I’ve no confidence in right now.
