Probably not. Has zero coaching experience.

Ahhh the age old "Must have minimum 5 years experience in similar role"

No need for experience to be become an assistant if you're someone of his caliber. Also a good way to learn man management too.

His current role is more assistant to the assistant (Bellamy) of the coach (Smith)

Not true. He & Cameron have coached QLD for years.

No. Mostly because I want the Dogs to hire a shit coach and fail.

No. The jump from player to full time head coach would be ridiculous.

Hey but it worked for Nathan Brown. And Freddy Fitler.

nb Brownie came good after a stint in the UK. You can't go from NRL to coach too quickly. The players just see you as one of the boys. So Brown slapped Barrett and Freddy will attend the piss up sessions.

i think cronk might have the right personality to not be seen as one of the boys lol

Halves coach for Luke Brooks would be a better option.

I'd take him as an assistant in a heartbeat. I reckon he could make the jump to head coach in a few years after that. He doesn't have that "yeah the boys" aura that can hurt some of the other younger coaches. I'd say the boys would be weirded the fuck out by the things he says, and respect him because he's Cooper fucking Cronk.

No, he's better off whoring himself around as a halves coach for multiple teams

Captain coach the Rabbitohs

No way he could jump to full time coach. Halves coach or something is more plausible

No too early from retirement, give him time in lower grades to see if he even likes coaching

I could see him getting a role at Fox straight away and probably doing a bunch of executive talks.

Do you guys think he'll play on? Haven't heard much about it lately

The way Smith was talking, it looks all but confirmed that retirement is imminent.

Nope not enough experience

halves coach for little flanagan trust me on this

2
Brodire2012Brisbane Broncos•

No. Bad idea. He may have a footy brain but he is unproven yet. I wouldn't go for him yet.

melbha_101Melbourne Storm•

Is he going to be the captain as well? honestly, I can't see Cronk becoming a head coach without having coaching experience, eg assistant coaching etc.

Nah waiting for the sex tape first.

No.
