The most influential coach of the century

[Guest]

Warren Ryan.

Gibson and Bennett may have the premierships. But coaching to them was an art - personal. Only they could do it.

For Ryan (and Sheens), coaching was a science. Something to be taught and transferred to others.

Gibson/Bennett coached players. They coached men.

Ryan coached coaches.

the most influencial coach would have to have been jack gibson, he introduced enhancements and changes still in fashion today, everything from defence as an attacking weapon easts 67, to nautilus training equipment, the fittest team wins, to sports phsycologists the fittest mind wins! the bomb, the gang tackle, sliding defence, you name it jack did it first, although he did copy a lot from us grid iron
