All Black Coach - Ian Foster

SammyC

Who ever it is needs to get Robertson out of the Crusaders and Blackadder back in. At least Blackadder was able to manage his All Blacks to cruise through Super rugby without giving two Fu&&$. Robertson has them giving everything and it's impacting on the ABs

I think that was McCaw’s influence more than Blackadder. His last 5 or so years he just cruised for the crusaders and the younger players followed suit.

Who's this Garland fella?

All the applicants will have to inform NZR about who their assistant coaches will be so that will be just as important as who the head coach is.

Foster may look at Colin Cooper as they coached the JABs together, and seems keen on Brown.

Cron retiring is a good thing as we need fresh ideas coaching the scrums and forwards.

@sparky We are toast then.

Just no Foster because it would be a continuation of what we have had for the past two seasons and everyone except the blindest of fans can see the obvious problems.

Fozzie: "Brownie, you up for being my assistant?", Brown: "Sorry Fozzie, Jamie and I are having a crack."
Fozzie: "Jamie, great job with Japan, I still think I'm the better coach so do you want to be my 2IC?", Joseph: "Fuck off Fozzie!"
Fozzie: "Coops Bra, you want to be my 2IC?". Cooper: "Sorry Fozzie, King Country need a new head coach."
Fozzie: "Razor, great job with the Crusaders, I think I need your dance skills", Razor " Fozzie, the backs were shit at the WC, I can do better and I am a forwards coach."
Fozzie: "Hammet, our forwards got smashed, you are the man for the job", Hammet:"When do I start"

As good as Hansen was, it's time for a change

Someone should turn this thread into a poll. Choices?

Fozzie
JJ and T Brown
Razor
Gatland

Anyone else?

@canefan it already is a poll

I changed the title to make it more obvious

Fail by moi.

I dont know how they would work, but a JJ Brown Razor triumvirate would be interesting

England's defence has been outstanding so far. Why not Mitchell as the next defence specialist to replace McLeod ?

I would take Joseph out of the realistic options.

No Quarter

Toss up between Robertson and Joseph for me.

JJ has a history of taking a team of no-names and making them play like champions.

Razor has a history of taking a talented team and getting the best out of them.

Given the talent available for the ABs I went for Razor.

Would like to see Razor, JJ and Brown together though, theyve been the standouts recently.

Rennie has a very strong claim as well.

Anything outside of those four would be ridiculous.

Good question cgrant. Look we’ve picked Joe McDonnell because he’s got explosive power. We’re on a journey to 2023.

Rumour circulating in NZ media circles that Robertson is the favoured candidate.

Knowing the panel who will interview and make the recommendation to the board would be a start. Tew was on Devlin saying it has been appointed and will be announced after Friday.

Interestingly he also said all the high performance NZ coaches both at home and overseas are aware of the process. Not that he seems to be a chance but Tew was coy about Gatland and to it sounded as though Gatland may have an out clause of his Lions contract for the top job.

Whoever it is their first objective should be to transform the All Black pack into the most fearsome set of Forwards in World Rugby.

Can't remember which TSF poster made that comment about the Boks...

There’s probably a middle ground between the Boks and the ABs forward packs - it would probably look something like the English pack.
