All Black Coach - Ian Foster
-
I suspect Mooar is "torn" for as long as the negotiations continue. Am fully convinced (based on nothing) his preferred option is the And.
While there's still a chance he can't get out of the Scarlets' job he has to maintain some appearance of being keen to stay.

So they appointed Foster without him having his full team of assistants nailed home. They should do the right thing and reopen the whole process to ensure they are making the appointment with 100% certainty who the entire coaching team is before making the appointment official.

Yeah that'll help.

FFS I didn't realise he hasn't even actually agreed to it yet. I just thought it was subject to money. Razor should have named Tony brown as his assistant, subject to negotiations. Fuck it, Wayne Smith too!
Utter toss

As above, would venture to suggest he's agreed to it and it is just subject to money.

Funny how when they re-appointed GH, it apparently had a lot to do with the powerful team he put together, compared with the Robbie Deans team. Clearly different time different rules....

Also, GH was a very very good coach. Strong track record, put a good team on the paddock with a track record of success (and dominance) - we were well ahead of every other nation in 07 in my opinion. Got undone by mental weakness, combined with a very good french side and a ref that swallows his whistle. The team he assembed was a contributing factor, but GH's capability was a massive contribution to that as well.
I think they got the call spot on.

From Wales online re: Mooar-
The Scarlets have started the search for a new coach after becoming resigned to losing Brad Mooar to the All Blacks.It seems to be a question of not if but when he will depart, with talks taking place with New Zealand Rugby over a compensation package.
Sources Down Under say the Kiwis are prepared to stump up money for Mooar to become part of new All Blacks head coach Ian Foster’s back-room staff.
Mooar is just six months into a three-year deal with the Scarlets and it’s believed they have put a price tag of around the £200,000 mark on his head to grant an early release.
However, power-brokers concede there’s no point attempting to hold on to the 45-year-old if he’s intent on accepting what may be a once in a lifetime approach to become a coach with the All Blacks.
It’s a strategy they adopted five years ago when Ireland moved to prise Scarlets great Simon Easterby away from the Llanelli-based region.
he Irish Rugby Football Union duly coughed up cash with the Scarlets promoting Wayne Pivac, who was due to join them as forwards guru, to head honcho.Pivac’s departure at the end of last season to succeed Warren Gatland as Wales boss resulted in the recruitment of Mooar, who was an assistant to Scott Robertson at the Crusaders as the Christchurch-based Super Rugby franchise won three consecutive titles.
The Scarlets could again promote from within and look to defence chief Glenn Delaney a respected figure in his native New Zealand following stints as an assistant with the Highlanders Super Rugby team and as head man with provincial side Canterbury, who he guided to a Mitre 10 Cup title.
Delaney was previously lead coach of English sides London Irish and Nottingham. He replaced then Wales-bound Byron Hayward as defence coach of the Scarlets during the summer recess.However, WalesOnline understands the Scarlets will consider other applications and have already put out feelers to gauge interest.
The dilemma they face is when Mooar should leave, assuming a deal is struck with New Zealand Rugby.
Do they attempt or want to kept him until the end of the campaign or release him early and perhaps install Delaney on a caretaker basis?
The other question they face is when the All Blacks will want Mooar to start work?Their opening fixture under the command of Foster, whose appointment hasn’t gone done well with a large proportion of the Kiwi public, is against Wales in Auckland on July 4 next year.
The Guinness PRO14 final takes place in Cardiff on June 20 – the same day as the Super Rugby final – and that could figure in the thinking of the three parties: Mooar, Scarlets and New Zealand Rugby.
Mooar could, if Foster allows, scrutinise the performances of potential All Blacks players from Wales, as Australia’s new coach Dave Rennie intends doing with the Wallabies as he sees out his contract to the end of the season with Glasgow Warriors.

Where's the rockstar assistant we were promised by Foz before he was appointed? Is Steven Tyler looking after the Backline?
