It was never going to work for Hodgson at Hull, it was always an odd appointment. It's further proof that you need more in coaching than being a clever player. He never seemed the personality to get the culture right either, he doesn't seem the kind of coach who'd maintain the attention of a very unprofessional group of players. Someone like Woolf or Shaun Wane would be ideal for Hull. They'd cut the nonsense out and get them playing to their potential. Tony Smith is an excellent coach, but it's another risky one as the crowd will presumably turn way quicker with him than anyone else because of his KR history. Pearson doesn't seem the type to let him get on with making the changes he needs to either and you get the feeling Hull are stoney broke, far more than they actually let on as well. It's a similar job to Powell's at Warrington, but without the unlimited resources.
