Coach whisperer Bradley Charles Stubbs’ outlandish claims

Just think, if you’re willing to shell out $10,000, you could spend an hour with Bradley Charles Stubbs, this century's most successful sports coach. Or at least, that’s what he says.

Queensland motivator Bradley Charles Stubbs has wasted no time cashing in on his new-found Origin fame, with the controversial mind guru now proclaiming himself the greatest coach of the 21st century.

Back in camp with the Maroons for Origin II, The Daily Telegraph can reveal Stubbs is not only now pitching himself to corporate Australia as a $10,000-an-hour speaker, but promoting with the tagline: This century’s most successful sports coach.

Which is some claim.

Especially when you consider the CV of global icons like Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, Gregg Popovich at the San Antonio Spurs, even Bill Belichick with the New England Patriots.

Yet in a press statement released Monday by his new agent, celebrity spruiker Max Markson, the pitch opens: “Would you like this century’s most successful sporting coach to come into your business …”

And from there?

Well, apart from talking up improved sales and profit margins, the release also works through the Whisper’s CV — starting with his aiding South Sydney coach Michael Maguire to that 2014 NRL premiership.

A claim, coincidentally, which Bunnies general manager Shane Richardson has since branded “rubbish”.

Still, the Whisperer was also there, it says, helping Wallabies coach Michael Cheika to the 2015 World Cup final, and English Rugby coach Eddie Jones the Six Nations crown a year after that.

Then it was Graham Arnold’s 2017 A-League title with Sydney FC and the Roosters 2018 NRL premiership, where Stubbs was a constant in the ear of coach Trent Robinson.

And now, he is entrenched with Queensland and coach Kevvie Walters, who currently lead NSW one-zip headed into Perth this Sunday.

But greatest coach this century?

Um, not even Stubbs himself could get us to believe that into existence.

Especially when you consider that during his 26 years with Manchester United, Sir Alex won 38 trophies — including 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, and two UEFA Champions Leagues.

Since 2000, Patriots coach Belichick has also won six Super Bowls, appeared in nine and won NFL Coach of the Year three times.

Popovich, too, boasts five NBA titles — four of which have been claimed this century — coupled with the most wins for both the NBA regular season and playoffs.

Elsewhere, even Stubbs’ proclaimed work has come under question in recent weeks, with Souths GM Richardson telling The Sunday Telegraph: “His constantly claiming he won us the 2014 NRL title annoys everyone at the club.

“It’s absolute rubbish. He was there for a few weeks. The players couldn’t stand him.”

Of course, you could argue Stubbs isn’t even the greatest Queensland motivator this century, given Maroons legend Mal Meninga has won nine Origin series as coach.

Still, the controversial mentalist is now asking Australian businesses for up to $10,000 for a presentation of 45 minutes.

Which is more than the $5500-an-hour he usually charges, sure.

But the Whisperer, he also now has an Origin win on his books.

And not even Sir Alex boasts that.
