can't see anyone offering him a no1 job at SL level. if he's only prepared to be a no 1 then he'll have to start at NL level. would make a good number 2 though and has the distance from the players that macca obviously lacks.

Harrison would be a great No2 with an experianced coach on board.

It's normally the other way around the number 2 is close to the players while the head coach is very distant from them.

I'm not sure Harrison's record at Keighley, Salford or Batley suggests that he's any better than McNamara.

He did very, very well at Salford and was the longest serving SL coach at that time. If he had stayed 3 or 4 years and then somone else brought in Salford would be in a better position now but Karl was the right man for 4 or his 5 years at the Reds.

Not all jobs are created equal. Bradford despite our problems remains a tasty job, plus we and Karl have history, so I reckon he pretty much certainly would be interested.

Can't have been ages ago then, Ed only died in March. I doubt that rumour very much.

I meant ages in terms of it just being mentioned. A very good friend of mine worked for Karl at the time selling kitchens, and heard it straight from him. I'm not suggesting he was offered the first team role, but a coaching job at the club. It's not hard to believe, we hardly have the strongest back room staff in the league!

I agree I would like Harrison to be involved in the coaching setup at Odsal. It would be a very good move by the club IMO. Don't think it'll happen though.
