HEADLINE: WICB not rushing to fill coaching vacancy

 
CaribbeanCricket.com 2014-08-30 12:16:43 

No decision has been made on who will fill the vacant post of West Indies head coach and there will be no mad rush to find a candidate, West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) chief executive Michael Muirhead has said.
Media reports in recent weeks have speculated that Mickey Arthur was a virtual shoo-in but Muirhead said while “informal” discussions had been held with the South African, the WICB were yet to even start the interview process.
“There is absolutely no truth to that talk around the region that Mickey Arthur will be hired as the next coach,” Muirhead told the Nation Newspaper here. “We did speak to him and many other coaches recently because it was convenient to do so but to say he will be the next coach is not true. We don’t know yet who will be the next coach.” He added: “The talks with Arthur were very, very informal. No official interviews for the position have even started.”

He is doing a good job.

I like his approach of listening to the players and not dismissing their views as insignificant.

Yes and no. Well let's put it this way--they had a coach but they did not have a coach lol

I was telling a friend just yesterday that Pybus will not last two years.

Not rushing because maybe not many good and proven coaches excited about the job cool

Oh really ?

What about his enforcement of the camp conditional attendance and subsequent benching of Narine for the NZ series.

It is going to be a fun ride. Luckily WIPA are dead now so he might last a little longer.

When was Gibson's contract renewed and how much time did he have left on his contract?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, no self respecting coach should "want" this job.
