Managerial Career
In 2005, Frank McGrellis was appointed Head Coach at Haileybury College. In his first two years as head coach, McGrellis guided Haileybury to 2 premierships, but since 2006 has failed to do so again. After failing to win another premiership for Haileybury in 9 years, McGrellis has been one of the Associated Private Schools least successful managers. In recent years, there has been much controversy over the continual appointment of Mr McGrellis. In 2013 a petition was signed and submitted to Haileybury's then Head Of Sport, Greg Schneider, on behalf of the players, calling for the resignation of McGrellis; no action was taken. Recently, in 2015, following overwhelming discontent amongst players, many whom have left the team, has contributed to Haileybury failing to win a game thus far.
