@Chris-B said in [Poll] Next All Black Coach:
Rennie - well, the worrying thing about Dave is that reading reports from Australia, it almost seems like a done deal that they've got him.
you would think that with him knowing the AB job was coming up, he'd have chucked in his applicaiton there too, Aus probably want him to take thie roffer but he's waiting to hear from NZR??
-
@taniwharugby You'd certainly hope so - but, I've read reports saying that Scott Johnson has already told Wallabies staff that Rennie has the job.
-
@Chris-B maybe he's doing it as a way to pressure NZR into not appointing him...although NZR surely would check with Rennie first, given there hasnt been any official announcement from AR or Rennie has there?
-
@taniwharugby No - and to be fair Chieka's seat is still warm. Hard to see that they would have run any sort of open recruitment process while he was still in place and without it being common knowledge.

I agree with what Mains had to say there
To me Robertson is a good candidate for an assistant coach. I don't want him for the head coach for the reasons Mains describes.
I can never take mains seriously. Just about the worst winning percentage of any recent AB coach. Including losing to that world XV at home. Not to mentio the French in 1994.

I'd like to see Razor, just cause I want to see a little shake up and he is probably the most diverse.
Foster would obviously be a continuation of the current selections/tactics. Robertson would probably be the next closest.
I think every other candidate would make more significant changes.
What do you mean by most 'diverse'? Robertson would have the most narrow cv?

'The All Blacks need a coach not a Laurie'
I agree. Doesn't make him wrong on everything though.. his comments on the possible coaches were spot on
-
Gatland would be my dream ticket with Brown as attack coach, and Robertson as forwards coach (and as apprentice to take over from Gatland in head role after 2023).
Let Gatland take a sabbatical during his British Lions year, and Robertson steps up for a year as job experience bonus.
I dont think theres any coaching IP left to be worried about Gatland taking with him on his sabbatical.

@Chester-Draws Blackadder? Whenever I hear that name I think role player and plodder, kind of like a draught horse. We need dynamic big and strong players at international level.
Smiley Barrett was a role player and plodder, kind of like a draught horse...

Whoever the next AB coach is, I don't wnat to see this sort of puerile crap.
"England's Eddie Jones hits back at Gatland: 'Enjoy the third-place play-off'"
England's Eddie Jones hits back at Gatland: 'Enjoy the third-place play-off'
Eddie Jones has hit back at Warren Gatland after the Wales head coach had suggested England have peaked too early in their pursuit of the World Cup
See I don’t really mind that. Maybe I’ve been living in OZ too long and Eddie’s just doing what Eddie does (and many Aussie coaches would respond). But a bit of colour in return when someone has taken a swipe isn’t that bad.

It's more common in the NH too. I think some coaches like to take the pressure off the players by making the enormous media concentrate on them.
For instance, Hansen was a complete twat when he coached Wales and it seemed like he was forcing controversy with every comment
-
Being passionate is one thing. Acting like a soccer manager is another.
Loathe this sort of stuff no matter where it comes from.

Maybe. But I'm thinking "Big ego....look at me!"
