Assistant Head Coach?

[RIP]

Who will it be?

Promotion for Boozy, experienced No2 (in the Tommy Craig model) or someone via the BKs?

Thoughts?

[K-Zazu]

Liam Craig

[Donegal Hibby]

John Doolan 🤞

[Forza Fred]

Steven Whittaker?

Kevin Thomson?

[KeithWright9]

Darren McGregor

[LewysGot2]

The speculation is pointing 👉 Liam Craig

They're very good friends so he trusts him, LC been coaching already. Knows the club. Won't be expensive either, I guess.

Craig would be a good choice, he's currently at Queens Park. I'd also like to see Daz McGregor and/or Rob Jones. All born winners.

[StevieT]

Is Marvin Bartley in with a shout?

[jeffers]

Craig, Doolan and Samson would be the preferred coaching team. If it can be done….

[Northernhibee]

Me. Got Hibs to the last sixteen of the Champions League on Football Manager.

The outstanding candidate.

That’s a suggestion, not something ive heard btw. Wonder if he’d be interested though..

Rob Jones has been up in Edinburgh a fair bit recently

[BS44]

Liam Craig

And Samson as GK coach too

[worcesterhibby]

Rob Jones has been up in Edinburgh a fair bit recently

Rob's height was a big advantage as a centre back, but watching him at that Sauzee X1 match held the other year I was reminded just how good his positional sense was too. He was by far the best player on the park in that match despite his age (close second was Archie who is 67!) and is a natural leader and a trained teacher. Might not be a bad shout.

[worcesterhibby]

Liam Craig

I always thought LC got a bit of a harsh deal from the support, good footballer.

[number9dream]

Lots of strong personalities listed. What about tactical acumen? That may be a weakness with a rookie head coach.

We could definitely do with a defender and character of his type on our team at the moment.

Always thought there must be more like him in the English leagues, Ireland, Scandinavia.

[MWHIBBIES]

A good, proven coach. Someone like Taff or Doolan. Years of experience, good reputation. Not someone straight out the packet or someone who was a "leader" for us.

I mean, Rob Jones? Liam Craig? Seriously? Are they good?

[SHODAN]

Great goal in the 4-0 against Rangers, still to this day my favourite game at ER.

[BILLYHIBS]

[CapitalGreen]

FWIW Liam Craig is slightly older and has more coaching experience than Mark Venus did when he became Mowbray’s assistant.

Liam Craig is highly regarded and he gets hibs. Doolan and him would be ideal.

[Donegal Hibby]

I'm hoping we get Doolan as assistant manager . Looking at Accrington Stanley they finished 17th out of 24 and in Doolan's 11 games in charge he's lost 6 . They just recently lost one of their key players to Gillingham ( Jack Nolan ) and Burton are pushing to sign another ( Tommy Leigh ) .

Even though he's signed a 3 year deal it might not be a bad time for him to jump ship if Gray wants him and Hibs are willing to get it done too .

[WestStandWillie]

Would Doolan give up a managerial job he just signed a 3yr contract for? Can't see it myself

[overdrive]

Liam Craig is highly regarded and he gets hibs. Doolan and him would be ideal.

Yup. People can say what they want about Liam Craig’s ability (I didn’t think he was that bad) but the one thing they can’t say is that he didn’t get the club. Apparently he was one of the best at the off-field duties associated with the captaincy too.

[MWHIBBIES]

Genuinely, what is the difference between playing for Hibs for 2 years and "getting Hibs"

:agree:

The grief he gets at times is a bit ridiculous. You’d think he single handedly relegated us the way some
folk go on. I’m sure he was actually our top scorer when we went down 😂

Considering Gary *** Caldwell was allowed to represent our club again, I’ll have zero grumbles welcoming Liam Craig back

[Brightside]

Its been answered in other posts. The way you act and handle yourself away from the pitch. Things you do around the club. He's a standards man. Its what the clubs needs more of.

Id imagine those things were pretty standard at any club. Not really anything to do with "getting Hibs".

Standards were pretty ****ing low when he was here. Not his fault of course, but I wouldn't say he is what we need more of.

what does get Hibs mean

[Mon Dieu4]

Hopefully Daz, mainly because he's sexy

[PiemanP]

Not sure where the Liam Craig love-in is coming from. Captain of the shambles of a relegation team then played ok in the championship season but was quickly replaced in our second season by better players.

He did his captain duties well? That should be a minimum standard at this club. He was also one of the highest earners if I recall.

What’s he done in coaching since? Queen’s Park weren’t anything special last season. Does he have all his badges?

If we are talking about someone who “gets Hibs” give me Daz or Marv any day - the latter has good experience of being an assistant in the top league.

[leith lynx]

Would not be surprised if John Rankin is in the mix, were they not at Man.U together as youngsters? played in SDG testimonial, will know each other well, would like to see Doolan there though.

[CapitalGreen]

Can’t see Rankin leaving Hamilton to become an assistant here. He’s doing well there and they have some decent financial backing now.

Craig wouldn’t be coming here to be a player, it’s his coaching and leadership ability which is what would be important to the role.

[1875Sean]

Correct very doubtful he would leave a job as a manager to be an assistant

His standards weren't low. Thats the point. A backroom team that demand higher standards will help us 100%

[Donegal Hibby]

I remember Stubbs had another guy at us back then , Andy Holden wasn't it ? , wonder what he's up to now ? .

[Potty78]

Liam Fox perhaps with Craig as a coach too🤷

[Hiber-nation]

Yup. People can say what they want about Liam Craig’s ability (I didn’t think he was that bad) but the one thing they can’t say is that he didn’t get the club. Apparently he was one of the best at the off-field duties associated with the captaincy too.

How he performed in the latter part of 2013-14 as a player and captain under the worst manager in our history has obviously got nothing to do with his ability as an assistant manager and anyone who thinks it has is talking utter bollox.

[HendoDelivered]

Wants Liam Fox according to the DM

[overdrive]

Wants Liam Fox according to the DM

IIRC he’s the reason David Gray became the first team coach at Hibs. Think we had agreed for Fox to come as first team coach but then he was offered the Dundee Utd assistant manager job so went there instead. We then gave the job to SDG.

[jeffers]

Wants Liam Fox according to the DM

No thoughts on Fox, had really hoped it would be Doolan though.

[CapitalGreen]

He’s bounced around a bit but he has a really interesting CV.

20/21 - Was assistant to Martindale the last time Livi finished top 6.
21/22 - He was assistant manager to Tam Courts as Dundee Utd finished 4th.
22/23 - He was brought in as first team coach under Barry Robson for the 3 month spell at the end of the season where they went on a great run to secure 3rd.
23/24 - He has done an excellent job as manager of Hearts B in finishing 2nd in the league compared to 13th the previous season under Naismith.

[oneone73]

Confused by the ages you mention. Jones is still only 44. Not sure which Archie you mean but if it’s Lovell then he’s only 52. Sorry if I have this wrong!

I'm assuming Stevie Archibald

I'm sure he was lined up to come here under Jack Ross as a 1st team coach but got the assistants gig at Dundee Utd. Not sure how it went so wrong at Utd when he was Head coach but Utd fans really don't like him.

[CentreForward]

Don’t like the sound of any of the names mentioned. Craig or Fox no thanks. Bartley maybe. Yes to Doolan!

[Heisenberg]

Just don’t see any chance Doolan would walk away from a three year deal as a manager to take a backwards step as assistant to a rookie head coach.

[overdrive]

He was.

The Dundee Utd managers gig might have been one of those situations where he is a good coach but not a great manager

[Donegal Hibby]

I don't mind Craig but as an assistant I think Fox would be disappointing , thought he'd go for someone better tbh though if that's who he wants we just have to trust his judgement on it.

[GloryGlory]

Yes, I was talking about Steve Archibald not Lovell... looks amazing for his age when he played and scored a good goal

[Donegal Hibby]

I'd have thought an older head with Gray would have been more beneficial just . Don't think his record at Cowdenbeath or Dundee Utd wasn't particularly good , think he lost 13 games out of 22 there when he was in charge . Naismith didn't seem to promote him either as his assistant manager . If that's who Gray wants though as I said we will need to trust his judgement on it .

[Lago]

No thoughts on Fox, had really hoped it would be Doolan though.
Does Doolan not = compensation, which appears to be a no no.

[MWHIBBIES]

His standards weren't low. Thats the point. A backroom team that demand higher standards will help us 100%

Why would Liam Craig be demanding higher standards than a guy who played 10 years at Sheffield United? Or Maloney who spend his career at Villa and Celtic, and won a major trophy with Wigan?

I could demand high standards. Coaching them into players is what makes someone good.

He’s wouldn’t be coming in to be the manager so his managerial record is largely irrelevant, some of the most well respected and decorated assistants in world football had no success when they were managers themselves.

He wasn’t Naismith's assistant for the B team, he only joined Hearts after Naismith got the First team managers job. However, he has recently been working with the first team do he must have impressed Naismith in his time there.

What’s the relevance to where someone spent their career in determining the standards and expectations they set?

[MWHIBBIES]

What’s the relevance to where someone spent their career in determining the standards and expectations they set?

Maybe for the individual, not much.

Between 100 former Real Madrid players and 100 former Port Vale players, quite a lot of imagine.

Craig could very well be the answer, I'd love that. Really had no issue with him as a player, but to me, he is no more qualified than anyone else, and less qualified than plenty.

As someone has said, he isn't coming in as manager. He's coming in as an assistant and seems to have done a decent job as one in the past. Livi - assistant during a decent spell for them. Poached by Dundee Utd (and almost Hibs) off the back of that. Assistant at Utd during a good spell for them (albeit was also assistant under the bad spell with Ross). Impressed enough to get the manager job there. Assistant to Robson at Aberdeen during the spell that Robson actually did well.

He does seem experienced given his young age - think he got into coaching young. He's roughly the same age now as what Lee Johnson was when he joined us with a similar amount of coaching experience gained from a mix of management and assistant management/coaching, whereas LJ was predominately management. Nobody would have described LJ as inexperienced (despite his age).

I also think that he does have the failure of the Dundee Utd job on his CV is potentially a good thing in supporting SDG. He's made the mistakes. Presumably, he learned from them and can advise Gray if he sees that he's about to make the same mistakes.

[K-Zazu]

Anyone know when his coaching team will be announced?

[Victor]

Probably when DG gets back from his holidays.

Yeah , I know he's not coming in as manager but his brief managerial record is still pretty abysmal all the same .

Maybe though he is a better coach than manager , think Livvy done alright when he was assistant there though wasn't he Ross's assistant too when he got sacked ? .

Aberdeen I think he was first team coach , really besides failing as a manager I think he's only been an assistant twice which as seen two different outcomes.

I know he came in after Naismith's appointment and what I read he was put incharge of the hertz B team which is why I'm wondering why he never got the assistants job there ? .

Maybe this on Wikipedia is wrong which it can be at times .

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_Fox_(footballer)

Anyhow if Gray wants him that's good enough though I'd have thought a John Doolan type assisting him in his first Managerial job would have been more beneficial than one with a record like Fox .

Feels a bit like along the lines of when we had Gary Caldwell as assistant manager .

[TrinityHFC]

According to wha

A John Doolan type?

I presume you are basing that on his time here?

When he was appointed here he had previously been a youth team coach then a member of the regular coaching staff at Wigan.

[Tha Cabbage Kid]

He has Malky as the older head.

[Donegal Hibby]

He has Malky as the older head.

That's true.👍

No, rather than a guy of a similar age one older more experienced than Fox with a decent record. Though must admit I'd still prefer Doolan over Fox with hin tbh .

[McGruber]

He has Malky as the older head.

When Ross Co came back for the 2-2 draw at Easter Road Malky in his interview said about sussing out our tactics and making changes that turned the game - they should have went on to win. Something I thought was beyond Monty.

[TrinityHFC]

No, rather than a guy of a similar age one older more experienced than Fox with a decent record. Though must admit I'd still prefer Doolan over Fox with hin tbh .

But why pick Doolan out? He must have been okay here for you to have done that. His record before is a record you would have dismissed based on your taking apart Fox’s background.

[Donegal Hibby]

But why pick Doolan out? He must have been okay here for you to have done that. His record before is a record you would have dismissed based on your taking apart Fox’s background.

I probably picked him out because he was here before and i thought both him and Stubbs done a good job and we know what we'd get from him .

Not against Fox though seem to think he was Ross's assistant and then took over when Ross was sacked and wasn't very good .

I don't want Gray to fail and as I said I thought he'd go for somebody with more experience or that he knew had done a decent job here before like Doolan .

Fox might be ok though my opinion he's had a mixed career and with it being Grays first managerial job it would be a brave choice by him .

[Murphys Touch]

The ignorance and brass neck of this place at times is mental

- “Wanted Doolan” The guy has a 3 year contract as a manager in his home country. Why should he drop it all and come to us

[K-Zazu]

With the Liam Fox story going public sounds like it’s a done deal already?

[worcesterhibby]

I'll always take other supporters opinions on board, particularly as being based in Engalnd I only get along to a few matches a year and certainly your view is shared by quite a few.

[HendoDelivered]

I expect the media to start mentioning Liam Craigs name soon. For first team coach, not asst.

[Swedish hibee]

Has to be someone experienced to be his assistant. We NEED experience in our whole team. All we've got is bloody Marshall!

[overdrive]

No, rather than a guy of a similar age one older more experienced than Fox with a decent record. Though must admit I'd still prefer Doolan over Fox with hin tbh .

So someone around 5/6 years older than Fox then? Thats how much older Doolan was when he joined us compared to Fox.

I wouldn’t get too hung up on age. Fox has lots of experience as a coach and a manager because he started young. He certainly has more managerial experience than Doolan does even now never mind when he joined us. I think will be invaluable to steering Gray when he’s unsure about something managerial - even if his managerial record is a bit iffy.

[Willis1875]

With the Liam Fox story going public sounds like it’s a done deal already?
There’s been an approach but that’s not to say he’s all that interested in making the move

[chookyembra]

Please not Fox, don’t want another one of them near my team. Surely with this extra investment we can get better than that?

Wonder if Kevin Thomson is a possibility on the coaching team.

Played with Gray for Hibs, highly thought of coach and ‘gets hibs’. I’d really like him to be one of the coaches but not sure if he’d fancy it and probably still a fair amount of Hibs fans that wouldn’t like it!

Would still prefer Gray has an experienced number 2 than Liam Fox. In fairness to Fox he must be brilliant at his job or just a great guy as everyone in Scotland seems to want him.

Not a great move in my opinion. The reason I say this and I could be wrong is that as soon as we go through a bad patch which inevitably every manager does, then the Wolves will start to circle the wagons much earlier than if say we didn’t get someone from that mob across the city!

There must be hundreds of coaches out there, why oh why make a bad move like this ?
SDG needs all the time in the world to try and build something, I just don’t get why you would make such a move.

We've had some good players that came from hertz over the years Alan Gordon, Jason Cummings and Josh Doig but a few .

I would have wanted somebody with more experience and a better record though if Fox gets it he would have my full backing . As long as he does a decent job I couldn't really care less were he came from in all honesty .

[Bridge hibs]

What like David Gray? That’s probably how they know each other by the way. They were at Hearts (as players) at the same time.

I was absolutely raging when ex jambo Sir David Gray bulleted that header v the rangers to win us the Scottish cup

[Unseen work]

In fairness I do get the point about Fox and his connections to hearts. I never used to care but after seeing it with a couple of players/managers it’s clear some fans view it differently and fail to accept it which is the last thing we need right now.

Cummings, Doig, Gray etc left when they were young and never went back.

Fox has been back to hearts on what 4 occasions? Twice as a player and twice as a coach? There’s a clear connection and love for the club there.

But we all know at some stage, whether it’s poor form or seeing him look at a hearts coach he will be an easy target.

With gray I think the club want real togetherness and I’m not sure this will do that

Letting Gray choose his own coaching staff will go along way in creating togetherness. I can't imagine he gets the gig, wants Fox and is told no as it may upset a few people .

[Donegal Hibby]

Unfortunately not always true, we have had some bad experiences with some ex-jambos.

Point is though if we get a player or a member of staff from our rivals , their main objective is to do well at us . Its probably on their part a brave move were they will come in for more criticism than most which possible could lead to them trying harder .

As I said if Liam Fox becomes Grays No 2 as far as I'm concerned he will be a hibs man then and his past doesn't really matter or bother me .

If we are doing generally well and there are signs of improvement and we then hit abit of bad form or a couple of bad results he shouldn't be an easy target though .

I think with Gray we will see a team with togetherness and if he thinks Fox is the best No 2 for him then it shouldn't really matter if he has a past history to hertz .

Maybe as fans we should get behind the club more if we do hit some poor form rather than trying to find things to blame it for .

Again if Fox joins us I really won't be bothered or care about his past employers . I will just be hoping he does a good job at Hibs 👍

[SHODAN]

Johnstone was one of them too I think?

We can chalk off all of Cummings' goals against them too. That makes it 122 years I think as we'd have lost the 2-2 game.

Dundee Utd fans couldn’t wait to get rid of him. There is a reason he’s at Hearts B.

Can you imagine Hearts ever employing an ex Hibs player as manager. Or attempting to get our B team manager as there assistant.

It just wouldn’t happen.

We should have nothing to do with anyone associated with Hearts. End of story.

We are too nice, oh it doesn’t matter he’s a Jambo etc.

It’s a joke. Part of our soft as **** mentality.

[B.H.F.C]

Thought going for Fox was an odd one. If he’s turned us down then it suggests Gray didn’t really have a relationship with him to me. If he did, he’d know the score before we did anything about it surely.

Hopefully we can get Gray who he wants sooner rather than later.

I did risk a look over on the dark side the other day and they all seemed really upset about the prospect of Fox coming to us as he seems highly regarded there.

If this story is true then the whole affair has been poorly managed but using simple logic - if, as stated many times, SDG is good friends with his old colleague Fox then surely he would have known whether or not the guy would change camps. Surely he would not ask if he was not sure of the answer as he would have foreseen the poor publicity any refusal would generate.

I am not ITK in any way, I just refuse to be blindly lead by the ludricrous sports journos. I will give this no further thought unless/until we hear from SDG or the club.

Naismith saying he is going to be more involved in first team preparations and he is thinking long term whatever that means So clearly been conversations within the Club about his role going forward and he has committed to Hearts on that basis and more money

[CapitalGreen]

That’s not really true, his record as an assistant/coach is very good.

Assistant the last time Livi got top 6.
Assistant when Dundee Utd finished 4th.
First Team Coach under Robson when Aberdeen finished 3rd.
Taken Hearts B from 13th under Naismith to 2nd in the league.

He’s very highly thought of amongst Scottish football managers/coaches.
