I honestly believe bringing this type of experienced coach in to help will improve us 10/20% and see us start to win some of these close games.
This would be the scenario for Pearson to 'save face'
I'd go further than 10/20%, I'd go 100%.. not much to fix.
just better execution in attack, perfectly fixable...
Said this a couple of weeks ago, will post it again to save re-writing the same thing:

Who would Radford work with? Normally I'd have Noble low on my wish list but given that Noble was Radford's coach at Bradford during the glory years of all three may mean this combination could work.
Presumably Radford respects him and resonds to him. Could Noble in fact be the only person who could slot in without creating a tsunami of resentment? We don't want a split camp as what Radford himself appeared to create under Gentle ( just my interpretation of what I saw, this last bit).

Surely anyone would - sort of thought Noble
could be the exception given that he coached Radford during his most successful years. A thought more in hope than belief - never been a massive Noble fan.
So who? Or is the only way a complete Radford replacement - which Pearson appears to have ruled out?
