@taniwharugby said in [Poll] Next All Black Coach:
@Hooroo again comes back to how much he wanted to coach the ABs though doesnt it, we just assume he was dead keen...
Given he aint taking it this time round, could be a dozen or so more years before this chance comes around for him...given in all likelyhood he will be renegotiating an extension with Aus in 4 years, or looking for something else, I cant see him leaving Aus and walking into the ABs, which is why I plucked 12 years out...
I appreciate Aus were probably pressuring him to sign knowing themselves the AB job was coming up, but I am just saying, his supposed 'dream job' is coming up but he doesnt even apply...
YEah I don't see what you're missing with that? Shoulder tapped by Aussie, went through the due process and months later gets shoulder tapped to apply for AB's but has already sussed another job.

not missing anything, I just think its odd if he knew the AB job was coming up, which I think pretty much everyone did since Hansen said he was resigning post RWC, that if it was the 'pinnacle' of coaching jobs for a Kiwi, then why wouldnt he actually apply.
I appreciate he cant sit about waiting for the call that might not come, but def wont get the job you dont apply for!

Hey Ab's I'm keen for the job.
OK, Cheers Dave, just sit tight and don't bother looking elsewhere.... please

@Hooroo er ok, I think I already addressed that a few times...
from the way it looks, he never applied, at all, so moot conversation.

@NTA 2nd if you remove Gatland who aint an option either!

Not going to matter the next couple of years who you pick, I suppose it might as well be Razor.
Rennie seems like a good bloke. I hope he can deal with the political bullshit and deliver us some results.

I hope he improves it enough to regularly beat all the NH teams, have 50/50 with the Boks, lose every match to the ABs including a close fought RWC final.

Hansen and Fozzie clearly show that do as I say not as I do when it comes to food consumption is no barrier to coaching the ABs. Plus, with Piri there the props will have less opportunity to over indulge as he'll hog all the kai.

@Machpants Cory Jane would be in charge of that no?

So the best coaching options are now going to be plotting the AB's downfall.

Yep, Australia, the Lions and Japan will have better Kiwi international coaches than the All Blacks. Total incompetence by the NZR Board.
If it's Foster, then Wales, England's defence and Georgia will have better Kiwi coaches too.
These are tough days. Keep the (Black) faith!

Can't see it being a good move for Rennie. I guess if you were going to pick someone to make it work it'd be him, but I just can't see him coming out of it looking good.

and if he does, this place will certainly be interesting
