From all reports he’s learned a heap about man management from his stints in SA, Japan and England
From some reports out of England he's learned nothing about man management.
That could be circumstantial tho; I read Mat Rogers' book recently and his last year at the Titans in NRL he was confronted with a change room full of guys silently scrolling their phones. It was a marked change from when he departed the NRL to join rugby, and he figured (along with his failing body) that was the point he was done.

@kiwi_expat Schmidt has been an attack coach since he was an assistant coach for BOP. He is the attack coach for the All Blacks.
IIRC, Farrell was the defence coach for Ireland, and Mike Catt was the attack coach, under Schmidt.

Last time Eddie Jones was appointed Wallabies coach Iphones, Youtube, Twitter and Facebook did not exist and even harder to imagine Australia actually held the Bledisloe Cup.
Never forget it Ferners…

@ACT-Crusader There'll perhaps soon be some guys in the Wallabies squad who weren't even born then.
Does anyone still have the Day In The Life Of Eddie Jones piece from back in the day?

@taniwharugby Don't think so, don't know of him applying for any international jobs, just may of realised he wasn't a test coach?

Unfortunately will Rennie have to rebuild his reputation again?
dunno, I reckon he has done enough in NZ rugby to serve him well, and from an outside perspective, you can see he has made improvements although Aus Rugby and he werent without thier issues.
NZR seem to love that International experience....
Yep taniwhai, but Deans seemed to of never really got another gig, and his rep was probably even higher than Rennies?
He's doing very nicely for himself in Japan without the stresses of test rugby.
Yep coaching at a level he is very good at.

@Stargazer said in Rennie Sacked, Eddie In!:
@Dan54 Didn't Deans "get another gig", or didn't he "go for another (international) gig"? Did he even apply?
Yep well apart from Eddie, I don't know any coaches that have reapplied after getting fired from test rugby. But you right he never tried, that I know of.

@mariner4life said in Rennie Sacked, Eddie In!:
from a management perspective this is an interesting case
it appears, from teh outside, the Rennie has spent 3 years building culture and depth, to varying levels of success depending on how you look at it. And it's cost him his job.
Did RA sign off on the plan and vision?
Is this just a decision by RA to get who they see as the best coach available?Didn't the wallabies have a camp like a week ago? Anything worked on is already redundant.
Yep seems bloody ridiculous to have a camp one week and dump coach next, perhaps RA got plenty of spare $s.

But there is no chance Rennie will work under Foster.
Why's that? If he hasn't got a Japanese gig lined up as rumoured then a rest with the family followed by a short term gig with ABs could be a good option for him.
Money? He'll get better money elsewhere, by far.
Fame? He doesn't seem like that sort of guy.
And if the ABs win, how much would he enjoy seeing Foster take the credit? That would be the killer for me -- there is literally no upside for him in doing it.
There's only one reason he might take an assistant gig, and that would be out of (misplaced) loyalty to NZR.
Why would it be misplaced loyalty? he has always seemed to have a good run with them, MAB coach etc until he went overseas

He hasn't been that bad as an International coach of the last 6 Wallaby coaches over the last 21 years he has the 2nd best winning percentage behind John Connolly who only coached for 25 tests compared to Deans 75 tests and has a better winning percentage than Eddie Jones,Ewen McKenzie,Michael Cheika and Dave Rennie
Winning %11 Eddie Jones 2001–2005 57 33 2 1 57.89 %
12 John Connolly 2006–2007 25 16 8 1 64.00%
13 Robbie Deans 2008–2013 75 44 29 2 58.67%

Last time Eddie Jones was Wallabies coach this also happened:
-
@NTA you didn't win the World Cup?
Eddie excels at targeting and winning a big game at the Cup, just not the final
-
Fuck me, McLennan talks some utter bullshit
“It is a major coup for Australian Rugby to have the best coach in the world return home to coach the iconic Wallabies and to oversee the Wallaroos program,” McLennan said.
Who was fired for being awful just weeks ago
“Eddie’s deep understanding of our rugby system and knowledge of our player group and pathways will lift the team to the next level.
Somewhere he hasn't coached for decades, deep understanding 🙄
“Eddie instinctively understands the Australian way of playing rugby – this represents an opportunity to secure a coach of immense expertise and experience at the biggest competitions, and we did not want to miss it.”
The Australian Way, Yeah Right

Second place is the first loser.
Better than being second loser.
