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

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

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.

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

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

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.

That's a point that bears repeating.

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.

I dont care about SR, and neither does NZR.
They dont think twice about pulling players from the comp (including right now), cant see why they'd treat a coach any different to a player. -
How much AB coaching will a head coach do during the Super season, I wouldn't think he would even select a team till right at the end.
I think it would be fine to do both this year, if JJ is selected. He would have assistants to do all the leg work anyway.
But I am a long way removed from this process. -
More about having time to properly watch and analyse all the games while not being preoccupied with leading a team to glory.
Regardless, wouldn't hurt to have a bit of separation between Joseph and the Highlanders before he has to start selecting his team, just to minimise (perceptions of) bias.

Fortunately we aren't loaded with superstar talent. There won't be too many opportunities to accuse JJ of picking his boys.
We are only looking at
De Groot
Jim
TangitauAs guys likely guaranteed to make it
With
Withy
Howden
JRK
FakatavaThe outside chances.
