Mark Williams at the age of 62 with a young list - that's a hard no from me.
I actually think he'd be an excellent coach for some of our kids - he is a strong believer in attacking football and players using their natural flair.
My initial thought when everything happened was it had to be someone experienced, but having thought about it more, 2020 was a pretty freakish year and I don't think it should be used as a yardstick for coaching appointments. Plenty of untried assistants will get jobs in the future - some will succeed and some will fail. If the most impressive candidate is someone like Mitchell who has only had 4-5 years in the system, then so be it.
