Who does TSF want to be the next AB coach?

I'd like to toss in a wildcard for consideration for the AB coaching role:
Pieter de Villiers
And here's my motivation:
- He has coached a team to win a Test in Wellington
- He has coached a series win over the British and Irish Lions
- Granted he is as daft as a box of frogs - but that just means great media and PR value
- With current NZ$ to Rand exchange rates you need only pay him about NZ$20 a month
- He is immediately available
*Disclaimer - the above suggestion in no way implies any endorsement of the candidate suggested.

Hey if Ian Foster is putting his hand up no name is too daft. Mitch may as well throw his name in the hat again too.

“I know dancing is also a contact sport, but rugby is far from dancing. If you want to run with the big dogs then sometimes you have to lift your leg”.
Why don’t we go to the nearest ballet shop, get some tutus and get aa dancing shop going? There will be no eye-gouging, no tackling, no nothing and we will enjoy it

Excellent, sensible policies for a happier All Blacks

De Villiers might get a bad press but he's a good coach & his resume is far Superior to most coaches in Int'l Rugby
Bear in mind he was a Junior Boks coach who bought through a bunch of players that won RWC in 2007, beat Lions in 2009 etc
I can't think of any coaches in recent history who've beaten ABs 3 times yet alone 3 times in a calendar year

Fark, I hated that in 2009. We just got monstered; Bakkies and Matfield were all over us. Was at the Tron when we got beaten up, and Steyn kicked a couple of 60 m penalties. Was just incredible, and they deserved it.
Then we got revenge the next year, and it was so sweet. That Eden Park rematch was an absolute grudge match; ABs were fired up, and no one knew how it would play out. Possibly the catalyst for the 2011 win, with the 'bomb squad' forming and getting really good

That 2009 Boks side along with 2015 ABs side are 2 best teams I've seen in ~15 years of watching Int'l Rugby
Smit Beast Bismarck DP Botha Matfield Burger Smith Fourie DP Habana DeVilliers Fourie JP Peterson are all time great players
Add the likes of Brussow Spies Steyn*2 Pienaar Roussow as well & you have a fucking good foundation to beat anyone in World Rugby

The only time I've seen the ABs lose live. And despite the long-range penalties and a JdV intercept, the ABs could still have sneaked a win at the end.
