I was paying a bit of attention to the Hibs dug out today and noticed a lot of input from the assistants. Great to see that and you could see that David was definitely listening to the opinions Graig Samson seemed to have the most input.

Samson was very vocal both during the game and in the pre match warm ups. Good to see.
I’m sure a reason Aberdeen fans hated him was because they found him too vocal.Quote:

Think it was something to do with an iPad and then him going mental at one of the players.
Everything I’ve heard from Hibs though is he’s a great guy who is full of life and energy. At the club when Ross was here too so just be decent before getting a job at Aberdeen so just be decent
I’m glad Mackay/Gray clarified his role as an assistant manager explaining he brought a lot more to the table than just a GK coach before the season started. It was something that used to bug me in his first stint here as well (which I admit is petty)Quote:

See to be honest, I can’t think of a manager and coaching team at Hibs my entire life not doing this.Quote:

Neil Lennon was a great shouter. "Keep moving" was a favourite.
Aye, Sergio was the 2nd coming at the time!Quote:

The whole ethos was that he and Nick needed players who could play their system. The snag being that on our budget, we can't attract those type of footballers.
Hiring coaching teams wedded to a system isn't for a non-OF SPL side. You need to build your tactics around the players you have in the building.
What was their budget when they were managing in Australia?Quote:

Monty, I swear all he did was clap his hands, least inspiring from what I could see.
I think the players could play the system, as is evidenced by Sergio's clips. They weren't asking professional players to do much more than pass and move, which are basics at the level these guys operate at.Quote:

If anything the team appeared over coached and were very easy for opposition managers to set up against.
