All Blacks - New Coach Selection

@Frank said in All Blacks - New Coach Selection:
@Bovidae said in All Blacks - New Coach Selection:
- Rennie and Joseph both see themselves as head coaches only.
- Next All Blacks coach unlikely to known until the second week of March.
- High-calibre and diverse assistants ready to work with either coach.
At the end of the article - "The Post understands that the Highlanders have told NZ Rugby they would like to keep Joseph until the end of the Super Rugby season if he gets the All Blacks job."
Yeah fuck off Highlanders.
fuck off yourself, no need to be a dick, completely reasonable request, especially as the start of a negotiation , we might settle on a supervisory role and less day to day

But if it is Joseph asking, that could lean the board to pick Rennie! But who knows?! Not me!

The Japanese top league season runs until May as well.
Why would a Japanese side give Rennie an early release. They don't give a fuck about the All Blacks.
Out of the two coaches finishing in May. Do you prefer the one coaching in the competition? or the one in a different one.
These are both active coaches. Where comprimises will need to be made.
-
the fact people are so quick to fuck over domestic rugby without considering compromises is just another example of how the game is shrinking not growing....im my probably overly simplistic mind....fans of a domestic team will naturally follow on and watch the national team either because of national pride, or its going to be a higher more impressive quality or just to follow their fav local players.....if we only have fans of the national team....if we only focus on that....it doesnt naturally flow the other way....which option sound slike it gets more bums in seats
-
This is all part of the negotiation. Perfectly reasonable for the Highlanders to want that to happen.
But the chances of it actually happening are very slim.
@frugby additionally, I doubt any coach moving from Super to AB duties is gonna want to leave thier team in the lurch, there will be a plan of some sort.
Who knows, maybe the players have noticed a bit more handsoff approach by JJ this year with his impending exit (if it transpires)
-
as a related aside, for coaches in NZ super or say in Japan, do they often have a break clause in the situation where they are suddenly picked for national rugby teams? I'd hazard there's some world rugby overall policy on this but AI tells me there isn't? Interesting.

@nostrildamus i mean, for NZ arent they the same employer ultimately?

Last Super Rugby pool game is May 30.
Super Rugby final this year is June 23.
First All Black game against France is July 4.
First Springbok tour game August 7.I'd say if Jospeh want the AB job he should be an independent coach well before the end of Super Rugby. (and the same goes for Rennie)

Its probably do able but I wouldn't think its ideal for an AB head coach. I def prefer all his time and planning going towards the international season ahead which is going to be freakishly tough enough

I'm not as worried about lead in time
Razor had more than a year between his last Super game coached and his first AB game as coach and it was certainly not apparent.

Kobe is currently 3rd, and I'm sure that will make the quarter finals at least, so I would say that is about right, unless they make the final, in which case he won't be available until early June.
If they don't make the playoffs, he could be free by mid-May (last regular season game is the 10th I think). They make it though.
Edit, If Smith takes over there could be some wiggle room - look at the fucking number of staff!

yes
but if you have coaches overseas there is no coverage, no contractual default considerations. Given the RWC is the biggest product and coaches can work anywhere this might be an oversight. But I am sure Mark Robinson will fix everything

that's not really a strong counter argument though is it?

Planning for RWC used to be a year in advance. Simple things like accommodation, practice facilities and other requirements all need sorting out. Who does that stuff while we wait for a new HC, and will the new man be happy with those arrangements being made without his input? I guess he'll have to be

@canefan i honestly wouldnt have thought arranging that stuff was the remit of the HC, hell even training grounds are arranged through the event organisers, i know my club is working with RWC to be a training facility

Let me put it another way
It's not how much lead in time you have.
It's what you do with your lead in time.

You can say that again.....
Anyway, I don't think timings are key - much more important to get the new coach and his team right. That can be done in a way that doesn't stiff any SR side.

@Dan54 I hear ya. But why not utilise some of the available IP. He can teach the new captain how to captain, for example. Lead the players in establishing standards so the coach can focus on game planning. Could actually result in fewer voices instead of having a leadership group with 7 included.

Well they had almost 7 when he was captain from what I recall.
But genuinely not keen on pulling out people from past. It time we moved on, and although Richie was a great captain, he was a great captain of a team that played 11 years ago, I understand your point, but I will say again, I agree with @victor-meldrew, and I think it would be go with less is more for management. -

But this is Richie Fucking McCaw. The GOAT of the sport. The toughest mentally I have ever seen. He talks, you listen, you take fucking notes and you put the fucking playstation controller down and start wearing black boots and saying 'sir' to your seniors.
