Only last week, I touted Richard Agar as the next head coach of Hull FC.
At that stage, the former Rochdale and Dewsbury stand off was in caretaker charge of the black and whites following the dismissal of head coach Peter Sharp.
Less than a week, and one creditable performance against St Helens later, Agar was handed a two and a half year deal as Sharp's permanent successor.
Quite how and why Hull went from giving Agar until the end of the season to rubber stamp his credentials to sealing a permanent deal within a couple of days is something of a mystery, even for a club whose decision making has been rather flawed over the last few years.
However they got there though, they have made the right choice.
Agar is a young, articulate and utterly professional coach who deserved a chance to work at the highest level.
The fact he is also British is merely a bonus.
The appointment has apparently not gone down too well with some of Hull's increasingly frustrated supporters, with the claim that Agar was a 'cheap option'.
Apparently, they wanted a big name, presumably from overseas.
A few years ago, when young British coaches weren't up to snuff, that attitude might have been justified.
These days it isn't, as I am sure Agar, who used to run around the Thrum Hall terraces as a child when his father Alan was on the Fax backroom staff, is about to prove.
The big question now is whether Warrington, the other club in Super League currently without a coach, will follow their rivals' example.
Having axed the hapless Paul Cullen in the wake of Monday night's disastrous loss to Castleford, the Wolves find themselves in a very similar position to Hull.
They are an ambitious, under-performing team who are desperate for success.
They also have - you guessed it - a young, homegrown assistant coach in the shape of James Lowes.
So, do they give Lowes, pathetically elbowed aside by Salford in favour of overseas media giant Shaun McRae last season, a chance, or do they look elsewhere?
There is no doubt that Lowes, like Agar, has the makings of a top boss.
Anyone who worked alongside him at Bradford or Salford will tell you that.
Warrington owner Simon Moran though, is not a patient man.
The events promoter has poured millions into his hometown club in an attempt to buy success.
Matt King and co may have flopped so far this season, but they certainly haven't come cheap.
And with money no object, it seems more likely that Wolves will go for a headline grabber rather than a rookie like Lowes.
Step forward, Ellery Hanley.
