Gibson apparently been told his contract has been terminated.
So if true I would expect an appointment before the CC resumes

Thanks and welcome H/S. Yes I just read that on The Mail Online which seems to have contacts at YCCC.
Not sure about the timing.

Silverwood would be a major coup, given his success with Essex and his experience with England and Sri Lanka. Also, he has been long enough away from Yorkshire not to carry any baggage, and to come with a fresh mind.
Difficult to assess Gibson's performance, and his team of coaches, as so much is done behind the scenes and the benefits (if any) may not be seen for a couple of years.

It seems a little difficult in one sense feeling like a 'dead man walking' knowing that your time is us, but Otis Gibson will want another job to turn up pretty soon, so he has every incentive to add to his CV with a promotion to Division 1 for his charges.
As DM says it may be some time before his legacy becomes clear, but I wish him well for the rest of the season and beyond. He's been unlucky with the injuries to our quick bowlers and the stuttering progress of our young lads to fill in.

His record is not great, and the selection process does seem a bit haphazard. We seem to have a number of players who have been pigeon holed into only playing certain formats. I prefer the Aussie set up, where the same players by and large play across all formats. If you are a decent cricketer, you should be able to meet all requirements, and the longer format is played at a much quicker pace these days. England do the same, Crawley and Duckett would seem good openers across all three formats.
Gibson seems a decent bloke, but with the odd exception, the Yorkshire players do not seem to have progressed in terms of talent during his reign.

First it was a brave move for anyone to join YCCC when Gough and Gibson did in view of the circumstances at the time although clearly money was an attractive proposition to lure them both.
Morale was low, some players chose to leave like TKC, Willey and Waite and attracting new players was a challenge. Some still joined but how many decided not to be associated with YCCC?
Injuries are always a factor too - Milnes, Fisher especially. But even allowing for all that, we have underachieved. Even with Brook and Root we could not win a CC game. Some selections, tactics have looked odd - is that Gibson or Masood?
Whatever, i think a fresh start is needed.

Curiously no more about this subject. Chris Waters in the YP seems silent. The Mail Online has previously appeared to have correct insight into goings on at YCCC.

I'm quite happy for the subject to go quiet while we are in the middle of the season. If, as reported the Coach knows and the players know then let's just get on with the cricket and let whoever is dealing with getting a new coach lined up crack on.
Coaches in cricket don't change all that often, though that trend may be changing, if, and it's a big if we do get promoted this season it will look pretty odd to outsiders if we are sacking the coach.
It's all about the coaches ability of course, but it shouldn't be overlooked that having coaches from 'diverse backgrounds' is good for the club and good for cricket in this country.

So it’s official. The Mail Online sports team do seem to have a contact at YCCC who leaks information to them. Otis G to leave at the end of the season

I'm conflicted on the move and wish we could have made it work with OG. I hope the players can maintain their focus especially in the CC.
Has the process of recruitment really only been started, or do they have someone waiting to be crowned!

Good, if that's the case that it is Silverwood, but I am uneasy about this hiring and firing of real human beings by the likes of Lord Sugar, Graves, anyone. It was wrong when Brian Sellers did it, and Lord Patel, and wrong now, morally.
The new man, whoever he is, will work knowing that his position is at the whim of the rich and powerful. I would not necessarily be against captain and players voting a coach out.

I have no doubt that Gibson is a decent man, nor that he did what he could with his hands tied in that first year when a lot of people would have opted out. He will leave with no ill wishes on my part, especially if we have a good end to the season.
But...it's time. I don't know of many examples in any sport of someone getting so much leeway for so few results. I know there is a legitimate point that a decent number of teams play for draws against us, but five wins in three seasons together with no major white ball success is awful. And - this being his specialism - the lack of seamers coming through is damning.
