Who does TSF want to be the next AB coach?

Nepia

Want: Rennie and Robertson combo, I don't mind who is head coach.

Expect: Foster.

Don't really want despite the hype (because I have an elephant memory when I feel like it): Schmidt.

Edit: As I could only have one vote I picked Rennie.

Donsteppa

Want: Vern Cotter - like @nepia I also have a very long memory and voted accordingly.

Want and much more likely: Scott Robertson - Mount Maunganui College's finest.

Would be very happy with but not expecting: Joe Schmidt

Expect: Foster....................

rotated

Schmidt/Cotter ticket. For all the same reasons the Cartel worked both have resumes worthy of AB coach, but without any ego/ambition concerns given their working relationship. Could also see an overqualified third assistant agreeing to work under them from past connections.

Not averse to Robertson being an assistant, but unsure what argument you could make for him being head coach that if being consistant doesn't make Rennie the stronger candidate from that list.

Bovidae

I have taken Schmidt at his word and excluded him when making my vote.

Virgil

If Steve Hansen could join the Fern and vote here i doubt even he would vote for Foster..

Machpants

I want Schmidt, but don't think he'll be available sadly. Not Razor as he needs more experience, and maybe some adversity too.

Is Steve banned from joining?

A ban from @Kirwan until he picks Akira.

No one would believe who he was
We'd rebut his rugby knowledge and ask how the hell he knows anything, when some of our posters have breakfasts with All Blacks ona regular basis
He'd be called arrogant for defending his record, refusing to sack Kieran and not picking Akira
We'd eventually figure out who he was as the only one to point out FOssie's contribution, but
He'd be banned for not spelling Reiko correctly

Derm McCrum

I voted for ROG with Eddie Jones as his assistant - an exciting combo that should keep yiz busy for a few years.

Mokey

Noting that Schmidt is unavailable, I voted for Rennie. But that is more a best of the rest vote, because I see Robertson as a future AB coach for sure, but not quite yet. More Super experience, then an assistant AB role to start.

Foster, Deans, Joseph - no thanks. And given what a twat Gatland was last time he was in the country, I don't know how well he would slip into the role.

@derm-mccrum whats BOD upto, go the trifecta!

Frank

Voted for Scott Robertson.
He seems a good bugger and it would piss Nepia off.

Nepia

@nzzp I gave you a like although no one has actually suggested all of 3.

I picked him as one my 'two' head coaches ya bloody dipshit . (But the terms of the poll wouldn't let me pick two so I went with Rennie).

No Quarter

I like Robertson, a real breath of fresh air and so far has the results to back him up.

Otherwise would be happy with Rennie.

MN5

Robertson.

They need a coach and support staff who look in good shape, not the pack of slovenly walking heart attack fat fluffybunnies they have currently.

Failing that Leigh Hart nominated himself a couple of weeks ago, he could be in with a shot.

Frank

Robertson will give some bloody funny interviews and I am looking forward to him breaking his hip trying to breakdance after he wins the 2024 World Cup

Bovidae

If you looked at the main contender's CVs as a head coach at this point in time then Gatland, Rennie and Schmidt are the best qualified.
