Murray explains decision to fire coach

'Between the three of us we obviously had different ideas and different ways of seeing things, what I felt was beneficial to me and what Miles and Alex felt was beneficial to me.'

This statement worries me, is Andy saying that he knows what's best.  Is it the attacking/defensive play issue raising it head again ie the coaches saying attack and Andy saying his style of play is the way forward

I'm also concerned about that - maybe Miles saw Andy needed to have a mainly aggressive game while Alex thought differently.

^Agreed but its what is going through Andy's mind which is worrying, is he determined to do it his way and if the coach doesn't agree he is out the door.  Andy is quite stubborn and has the 'arrogance of youth' (no disrespect to the youth of today) he needs to take on board constructive criticism and I don't think he is able to do that yet.

Here's a little more insight from Overend:

Great article from Overend - seems the whole large team dynamic was ultimately the thing that terminated the relationship.

Yes after reading Andy's statement, I am now worried, that while, Andy's 'counter punching' will keep him near the top, unless his first serve % reaches a 70/80 % consistancy it is unlikely to win a slam.
I have wanted Miles to go for some time but only because I felt Andy needed a coach who could develop an aggressive, come forward dominate the net side to his game.  Now I get the horrible feeling that, that Andy wants to 'stay pat' and any any new coach will need to think the same.
I hate to say this but maybee its Andy and not Miles thats been the problem, any body any ideas.

There's alot of speculation going on so I'm going to add my two pennies worth, both McEnroe and Agassi are at the Farmers Tournament, Andy made a last minute decision to go there, maybe he's interviewing them both.  

And come to think of it McEnroe was asked at Wimbledon if he would coach Andy even part time and he never said no.  

McEnroe and Murray wouldn't work, don't think the temperaments would match there.

But maybe as a short term advisor rather than coach, Andy can pick his brains in how to win a slam and then move on.

I have never heard or read of agassi's opinion on Andy but McEnroe certainly takes an interest in hiis game and my reading of things is he would want a more aggressive approach. However as you say this is all speculation and after the US open we will know more.
