Forde no longer Taipans coach

"Still connected to club with a to be confirmed role"

Sounds like something remote while he gets an overseas coaching gig. Who should replace him? Great low-pressure environment for a rookie head coach potentially

Also sounds like he'll assist the club with finding a new coach

He has done a great job with the rosters he has had. Congratulations Fordey and enjoy your stint overseas!

I'm disappointed, but Stevie Wonder saw this coming.

Despite whatever press releases come out, Stevie can also see what the "selection process" will produce.

And if (when) that eventuates, Cairns won't make finals next two years before it implodes.

That said, I really hope I'm wrong...

McKinnon or Chance, they've been angling for head coaching roles?

Very sad to see Forde leave, he was great for us and really had the backing of the Cairns community. Olgun reporting Kerry Williams as a strong consideration. As for who else might be in contention, be nice to see some other highly regarded assistants who have done their time and are ready for the big job. However I have a feeling that most would rather be an assistant of a much bigger club and wait for other opportunities, rather than a club with very limited resources. Sad to say as a Taipans die hard, but it's the reality of it. Good luck to whoever gets the job, hope they can stay around for as long as Forde did as well.

A lot of talk all year about Mackinnon taking a hc role soon.

Do we all forget so quickly how much of a train wreck the bullets were under his watch, both as gm and head coach?

From some of these comments, had to check that we're talking about the same Coach Forde who lost 60% of his games.

small club blah blah blah

His record would not have been better than Kelly who got the bullet.

Lol at Mackinnon for the job!! One of the most toxic individuals within the NBL. Time to move on from some of these dinosaurs that should have been left behind years ago.

I love the idea of Gleeson in Cairns
