Chiefs 2021

David Hill has to be questioned to? He moved incredibly quickly through the ranks, straight from player to BOP and NZ U20 assistant and never had much success in any of those roles either. Clayton may look at Marty Bourke or Mike Rogers who came on as BOP assistants last year & the team improved markedly winning the comp, both come through club level then won Jock Hobbs as co-coaches.

They should all have to reapply.
Hill, in particular, sounds as dumb as a post on TV (I've heard through friends that he is a really nice guy).

@trooa Hill is only the kicking coach, the same role I think he fills for the ABs. You could make an argument that the Chiefs general play kicking wasn't up to standard.
The assistant coach roles to fill could be defence and forwards. Kind of important.
@Bovidae Purely just kicking, I thought he was in charge of all skills? Either way, you don't look at the teams he's been involved in & see the noticeable difference he has made. Mike Rogers will definitely be a shot then if that's the roles they're after, he takes forwards/scrum & McMillan takes defence at BOP whereas Bourke is backs/attack.
NZRU/Chiefs have to take some responsibility around the overall coaching fit & contract lengths when they knew Cooper was going to finish up. Generally when you're a coach at any level, you have some sort of say on who your assistants are so that you ensure you can work well together and have similar philosophies e.g. Razor had Jase Ryan come up through the ranks with him then they hand picked O'Gara once Macdonald left. This Chiefs situation looks like Gatland had no say in who his assistants were, the year off just makes that even more of a shitshow as do you choose someone Clayton works well with or Gatland for the next 2years?

It could be kicking and skills.
Nick White is the scrum coach and Roger Randle the attack coach.
The current assistants were all appointed under Colin Cooper's tenure.
McMillan was involved with Chiefs' trainings this season so he will have an idea of what is needed within the coaching group for 2021.

@Bovidae considering the attack, all season, looked like they met in the carpark before the game
and our defensive structure was club standard
and our basic skills were shithouse
they should all get the chop

@Bovidae couple of names stand out from HBHS. Tupaea, Hotham, McNutt. Hotham was pretty great from the games I've watched on tv.

Gallagher Chiefs 2020 Coaches’ Player of the Year Sean Wainui has re-signed with the Gallagher Chiefs.
The 24-year-old electrifying winger has re-signed with the Club until the end of 2022.
Wainui, a passionate Gallagher Chief said it was an easy decision for him and his whanau to make.
“Being a Chief is something I have always dreamed of. To be able to continue this journey and perform for this team is something I really cherish.
“I love the culture, especially our Maori connection within the Chiefs and Chiefs Country. I really enjoy being with the brothers, the hard mahi and the challenges we face together. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,” said Wainui.
Chiefs Rugby Club CEO Michael Collins said Wainui is an exceptionally talented player.
“Sean is an exciting player; he has produced a number of amazing moments for the Gallagher Chiefs since his debut in 2018. Receiving the Gallagher Chiefs Coaches’ Player of the Year award is testament to his work ethic, impressive form and influential leadership within our squad. We are excited to see what he will achieve over the coming years and will continue to enjoy watching him proudly represent Taranaki in the Mitre 10 Cup,” said Collins.
Wainui has 38 Gallagher Chiefs caps to his name and has scored a total of 65 points since his debut.
