@Chris Hope Ryan is gone also.Lets just start again.
If it is Joseph he's going to need some good knowledge around him.
Most likely a new captain also.The thing is the players like Ryan,wether that makes a difference I don't know.
Yeah new Captain new coaches normally come in and pick their Captain which probably will be someone else.The thing is if they sack all the assistants under Razor and Rennie doesn't jump on board.
The assistants like Jane etc really don't have any international experience which doesn't make much sense if only the HC has international experience and the board wants that you would expect the same applies to some of the assistants.I dont think Macintosh is an upgrade on Ryan either. Unless i am missing something and just not well informed.

Well 2 years with the right KPIs in place with an additional 2 year option...
Fozzie was 2 wasn't he, Razor 4? Yet Fozzie went for 4 a d Razor 2...

@frugby You’d definitely want to be judged more leniently than usual. The new coach could be looking at a very low win percentage after the World Cup.
I'd be looking past the win loss numbers. The team requires a cultural rebuild, to use Hammer's term. We need to be united, and play for each other
Exactly. For me, in the same way (but now even more so) that Robertson would have been given a fair bit of leeway if we see positive change. On the other hand, if we see BB continue to be trotted out and the same old shit with a terrible kicking game, not solving basic problems, and guys not looking like they want to put the effort in etc, then that good will (again, and rightly so) is going to disappear pretty quick.

Agree milestones up front.

@reprobate yeah Razor really missed a huge opportunity to hit the ground running and.stamp his.mark.on things, instead he pretty much trotted out the same.side with a worse game plan.
He missed the chance to really.take some risks early on too, so disappointing when you think how he was seemingly so innovative and from a different mould.

Yeah I agree.

Not sure about MacIntosh over Ryan, or other way. Perhaps new coach will want someone with new ideas and have other coach in mind? Wallabies have seemed to have had Laurie Fisher forever and a day, while seemingly a good coach, not sure they wouldn't kick on more with fresh ideas.
I know we have ideas for head coach who is best technical coach, not sure we want best technical coach, just the best coach and technical ones below? Always thought the likes og Wayne Smith etc were better as assistants rather than head coach. -

Could understand that in Year 1 while he found his feet, but not in Year 2. Expected some risk-taking last year. - esp. from a coach with a record 7 SR titles in a row under his belt.
New coach will need to hit the ground running and won't have the luxury of an extended timescale. Wonder if a 2 year contract is a bit short-sighted by NZR - maybe better to go for 4 with extension to be confirmed after the next RWC?
-
Darren Shand suggests getting the head coach to put a prospective backroom team together before even getting the job not a good idea. Thinks that failed both Foster and Robertson.
-
@Victor-Meldrew people on here been saying that for a fair old while.
Should appoint coach and go from there, seems wrong they have to build a team to present in interview.

@frugby said in All Blacks - New Coach Selection:
I guess the concern any coach might have here, is you take the job, and with a lack of time to implement your ideas you lose the Springboks Tour, and then go out to the Boks in the World Cup QF, and you are out of the job.
This is the point.
Things could go very badly from here.
Lose the SA series, lose the SA RWC QF.
That is guna put the HC in a not so good position.
Hence i'd be hopin that NZR would already be thinkin about what to do in that scenario.But if I was a HC condidate i'd be lookin at it a bit different.
Not six years, but almost a caretaker role for 18 mths
Cos, win the series and win the QF (and the cup); and you are f'n hero, forever!
And a with a new four year contract for after the RWC, you'd be able to name your price.
And if it all turns to shit; well, you said it, I didn't have enough time to implement my ideas, excuses are already there. -

And if it all turns to shit; well, you said it, I didn't have enough time to implement my ideas, excuses are already there.Maybe the best option for NZR is a HC on a 2+2 yr contract with experienced assistants (Hansen? Foster?) to navigate the next 2 years - which are going to be pretty intense - and then renew with new assistants.if progress is being made
Personally, I don't mind a few losses if we are trying new things and making progress . NZR and the public would probably be OK with that after the shit show of the last 2-3 years.
-
The next two years are not going to be "normal" years, and it'll be only the next 18 months by the time the next HC is in place.
Those 18 months are guna be mega.
The coaches (and the players) will be fully cognizant; no time for building for the future, it'll be win NOW.After that tho; it should be reasonably straight-forward to put the preferred coaching team together.
Contracts will be ending at the 27 end of cycle, and they should be able to get whomever (Brown) they prefer. -

Always thought the likes og Wayne Smith etc were better as assistants rather than head coach.I agree Dan. Best man manager at the top. Best technical guys underneath... getting the chemistry right between them all is key too after the last couple of years of comings and goings...

Unfortunately that is what should have been happening for the last two years.
(hard to be sure, but I think they were actually trying old things which we all knew were not going to work anymore)But for the next 18 months its guna be, just win.
Then in two years time we can go back to trying new things and making progress, for a couple of seasons. -

Another sport but . . . .
SB this weekend
Pats . . . Vrabel . . . first year HC
Hawks . . . Macdonald . . . second year HC
the turnaround can be quick! -

Pragmatism - which would be trying something new

Pretty much my thinking

Any head coach coming into the ABs will want a 4 yr contract due to the timing and circumstance of their appointment. It would be unfair to be judged on an outcome which is less than 2 years away when the governing body deemed that the ABs were essentially in crisis mode and need a get well plan
