Why Tappa will be a success!!

[Me]

If u you are going to base your argument on results, the last coaching job tappa had before those 3 games didnt go too well from what i can remember.

How was he doing before the dual responsibilities came into the picture?

I thought results spoke for themselves.

and which responsibilities u referring to?

[Gamma]

i think he has a 100% record as a national coach including 3 WCQ games with everyhing on the line...

my only reservation is that all the games he has coached so far have been home games....i think he is 6-0 including wins over mexico and honduras

What were his results at his last coaching job, before he started to share his time with the National team? Were they in the relegation position when he received an offer from the JFF to join the staff along with Bradley Stewart?

Again, you are on the money!
Wishing Tappa and all our boys the best!

That point is irrelevant, at the end of the day as a coach you are responsible for the performance of your team. It does not matter if you 5 other jobs, if you cant manage the work load don't take it on.

The record books will not have an asterisk beside Seba specifying that their coach was on the staff of the JFF hence it was OK for them to be relegated.

The 3 World Cup qualifying results were excellent for Whitmore and his record as an Interim National Coach, but his record as a coach overall in my opinion is not anything to write home about.

Just to stir the pot, who is the best coach in Jamaica right now, based on results and National Premiere League trophies, if the position is to be rewarded on record why hasnt he been given a chance to coach the national team.

ok ... try this he should not be the head coach because he failed to qualify the boyz for SA 2010!

Irrelevant? I surely hope you are joking. This is not about assessing the fairness of relegation, it is about assessing the ability of a coach. If there is a clear difference between performance under the dual responsibility mode and solo, then why wouldn't I separate the two when considering someone for a role that will not have dual responsibilities. Simply lumping the two together and then shouting them get relegate would be no better than the man from the bleachers who say Gregory Messam better than Roberto Carlos.

It might be able to tell that he is no Guus Hiddink, but he may be be damn good when focused on one team.

As for your NPL coaches, most have an aproach to football that is lacking. You would want Lenny Hyde or DV managing your National Team?

Matter is a good manager....

We shouldn't discount the licences...maybe Munro just doesn't have the personnel

I think if a coach is serious about his job he should go through the training process... even if he's getting results without it. Tappa, having played professionally will understand a lot of the coaching techniques and methodology, but I believe that sitting in the classroom (and applying on the field) is the sure way to consolidate all that you do intuitively.

I wish him continued success anyway, licence or no licence.

[Gamma]

yes but does he wait a suit....wait...you are right!

Well said Peter. You can always point to someone who has a license and can't coach.

I try to explain to people it's a lot like juggling. Just because someone can juggle doesn't mean he can play a lick, in saying that however all good players can juggle so there is a correlation.

Same with coaching licenses...just because you have one doesn't mean you can coach....however all good coaches have them so there is a correlation.

I personally don't think Barnes is any better than Tappa at face value but whether Whitmore is the best of the best or worst of the worst completing a high level coaching course is only a plus. Professionalism is something we should embrace, not ridicule or scoff at. - T.K.

mmm?
as I have never met a player who could not juggle it may be that...all bad players can juggle so there is a correlation?

Right?

Well heck...if that is the case then yes for you all bad players can juggle would be a correlation. lol. - T.K.
