Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.
Does this need some dusting off?

Just get Flanno here before someone else takes him. Or Madge.
That's the other side of the issue. Who? I can't see any First Grade Coaches who are on the sideline being the answer. Or Super League coaches. Maybe we need to look across the board at assistant coaches.
Just for the record let's try to make a list of assistant coaches. It's hard getting accurate info. And assistant coaches roles are more diverse now. Some footy departments are better resourced. The info here is uneven and incomplete. I took it from Wikipedia click here

Darius Boyd still on the payroll after he "retired early"
Flano for me, hopefully he'll cheat again ad we win a premiership

Agreed
There's a reason every club that needs a coach is avoiding Flanno. Madge coached the Tigers to playing much worse than Holbrook has the Titans.
Recruiting a new coach is really tough. Not much proven, consistent quality out there and the alternative is a high-risk option without much experience. And any sacking decision is only as good as what the solution is on the other side
I loved watching Hannay in his day as well but I don't know anything about his coaching qualities.
I only said those other two because they're the only two that stick out who've taken teams to premierships in the past. They've been there and done it. But then again, so has Sticky.

Hard to judge on two interim roles with NQ after Paul Green and Sharks after John Morris.
Coaching career https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Hannay
Souths Logan Magpies
On 9 October 2013, Hannay was appointed head coach of the Souths Logan Magpies in the Queensland Cup for the 2014 season.[21] Over three seasons with the club, Hannay's highest place finish with the Magpies was 7th in 2016, missing the finals on points differential. He coached 70 games, winning 28, for a 40% winning percentage. In 2016 and 2017, he coached the Queensland under-18 rugby league team, losing both games to New South Wales.[22][23]
North Queensland Cowboys
In 2017, he returned to the North Queensland Cowboys as an assistant coach to Paul Green.[24] In his first season on the coaching staff, the Cowboys qualified for the NRL Grand Final, losing to the Melbourne Storm.[25] In 2018, he joined the Queensland coaching staff as an assistant to Kevin Walters, spending just one year in the role.[26][27]
On 20 July 2020, Hannay was named as the interim head coach of the North Queensland Cowboys following the resignation of Paul Green.[28] In Round 17 of the 2020 NRL season, after five straight losses, Hannay earned his first win as an NRL head coach after the Cowboys defeated the St George Illawarra Dragons 23–22 in golden point.[29] On 22 September 2020, after being overlooked as full-time head coach of the Cowboys, Hannay announced he would leave the club, despite being under contract for the 2021 season.[30]
Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks
On 17 November 2020, Hannay joined the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks as an assistant coach.[31] On 14 April 2021 Hannay was named as caretaker head coach following the sacking of John Morris[32]
In round 11 of the 2021 NRL season, he earned his first win as Cronulla-Sutherland interim coach as the club defeated fierce rivals St. George Illawarra 13–12.[33]
Hannay is currently an assistant coach with the Queensland State of Origin Team
