Speculation online that he has been sacked.

According to Examiner Live (Matt Shaw):

Bradford Bulls have parted ways with head coach Mark Dunning, Rugby League Live understands.

Dunning is understood to have been relieved of his duties after a meeting with the club's hierarchy on Monday. It came less than 24 hours after a humiliating 46-12 defeat to Championship strugglers Barrow Raiders. The Bulls conceded 42 unanswered points in Cumbria, which condemned them to a fourth loss in six games.

That was ultimately the final straw for the Bulls, who find themselves eighth in the Championship after 10 games. An announcement is expected later today.

Dunning landed the job permanently after being placed in interim charge last July after a successful interim period. He had taken over from John Kear last April but the Bulls struggled at the end of last season, eventually finishing ninth and 14 points adrift of the play-offs.

The Bulls had won five of their opening seven games this season, which included impressive wins over Toulouse Olympique and Sheffield Eagles. However, they have suffered heavy defeats to local rivals Keighley Cougars and Halifax Panthers in recent weeks before their humbling defeat in Cumbria. Dunning leaves with a record of 14 wins in 32 games in charge.

Lee Greenwood now interim coach.

A worldwide search to eventually employ the tea lady.

Now Confirmed. Lee Greenwood to take charge on an interim basis. Feel for Dunning but ultimately the right decision.

There were some great wins in there, however the challenge of the coach is what you produce when things are going against you, and sadly, the absolute humiliating hammering were becoming to frequent.

Mods, any chance we can merge these threads?

I’ve heard mick gledhill is gonna be interim coach .

My bad! I must have been copying and pasting the text at the same time as you haha!

...before the "global search" results in him being confirmed as the next permanent coach?
