Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad had a dreadful season as they finished 9th and 10th on the table. The amusing thing was that the two teams failed to perform under the guidance of legendary figures like Ricky Ponting, Brian Lara, Sourav Ganguly, Muttiah Muralitharan, and Dale Steyn


Gavaskar used the above to sack foreign coaches.

Shane Warne once said the only coach he knew was the one that transported the players.

Sammy

Sammy was in reality a de facto coach when he was captain.This is evidenced by his role in the WI women winning the World Cup in 2016 going by what the winning captain had to say about his role in their victory.Also in 2021 Sammy was a key figure in the St Lucia Kings reaching the Finals of the CPL in 2021 even though he was the so-called motivator/assistant coach..
Many people have recognized his skills albeit with out a piece of paper saying he is a level 3 Coach a position that Brendon McCullum is also in.

Maybe it is more than a coincidence that nearly all the teams he is in a leadership role in when it comes to white ball cricket are successful.

I see nothing about coaching that makes him a head coach.
Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and a few others became HC after their playing days were over, they quickly found out, having leadership roles within the organization was far better than coaching.
If Sammy is that good, let him be the Director of cricket, he seem to know talent and how to handle players.
Coaching is teaching.
BTW, he is having Pretty boy Floyd as his assistant.

Do you understand the difference between coaching at club level and at International Level?

Don't try to insult my intelligent, you are not replying to someone who you think can look down at.
This guy will tell what I know about a head coach position because he called me numerous times.

It's really disheartening to see your logic ..... supporting Sammy......

1. West Indies cricket advertisement...a world class coach.... with 5 years experience...at international level or regional....

2. Sammy never Coach a team in ODI

3.His ODI track record as Captain was very poor considering during his tenure from 2010-2013.... Gayle, Pollard,Narine, Chanderpaul,Bravo all were part of the team.

4.As captain out of 51 matches, he won 19... mostly against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe... Bangladesh was very lovely ranked during the period....

There is something about the Reifers that I alway had some dislike for.
This is going way back in 1967, when I played a series of BCL cricket, I played two matches against Tony, he scored very little runs that same year he got Sir wicket twice in the BCA vs BCL match.

Every Head coach especially in the West Indies should be equipped with the technical skills, going on tour with one other coach, who will be working with the batsman and the fast bowlers, spinner, fielding, wicketkeeper?
Who will be the person responsible for viewing films with the players after the days play?
My first ten golf lessons I still have the video of, I am fortunate to work at a course where my swing is looked at yearly.
