Within a few weeks the press, fans and everyone else will savage a coach who produces poor results. They won't say "oh well, he is learning" or "oh never mind, he has no experience"

There are just 9 Test Team head coaching jobs in the world. This is not an experiment. You'd better be good or you will be gone before the two years is up. BD cannot afford to slip backwards here. There is HUGE pressure on... It's exactly why coaches like Fountain and Pont were so good. They produced instant results in their own departments starting with the 4-0 Tiger wash.

If Law doesn't win the series in Zim comprehensively, or worse still LOSES it, the media will not be very kind.
See, now you are getting somewhere. He needs to win Zim series cause BD is EXPECTED to. Same way, our expectation from him is not as much, hence he will have more space to get his act together.

It is NOT the most pressurized job in world cricket. Siddons stayed here with constant vacation and being drunk half of the time. In fact, in BD, coaches have more say than most countries.
