    @Tim said in Foster must go:

    @Victor-Meldrew Do you think he wants to be a head coach? He'd be my pick if he does.

    I haven't a clue. But who wouldn't want to coach the All Blacks and not just be a mentor? Persuade him to take over until RWC2023 for starters

    He'd be a safe pair of hands and then be able hand over to Rennie, Jesus, Joseph or another assistant.

    Like the thought of Jesus being an assistant

      I wonder if losing the Bledisloe will be enough to move the mediocre Mark Robinson in to action, or will it have to be the Quarter Final exit in the end...

        Will we lose to SA? I mean they just lost to Wales at home so it sounds like they aren't exactly hot shit this year, not that I've watched. And if we win that's more than enough for NZR to claim we are "building towards the RWC", which is so offensive as an AB fan when we are giving up 100+ year records.

            Foster would give a bollock for a test win right now

              @Jailbreak7
              According to some posters, he should be happy to be Fosters assistant and if he doesn't accept being an assistant then he doesn't deserve the top spot.

                      I pray we lose to SA and the Bled. Because the small sliver of hope is that it's enough to dump foster and go into the RWC with some optimism (justified or not).

                          Thought so. I wouldn't want to be Fozz's assistant either. What does he have to gain, how much of himself can he tangibly give to the team without being the HC? Fozz is beyond redemption and Scott is the winningest coach in Super Rugby. I'm no Razor fanboy. But he needs to be given full control

                                @stodders Foz has never done well as a head coach. 8 years of pain with the Chiefs, Ronnie takes 2 titles in his first 2 years.
                                Not his happy place - like Wayne Smith, but the poor man's version!

                                  Who would be the assistant coaches?

                                  Jason Ryan (Fiji) and Tom Coventry (Samoa) have done good work as forward coaches for PI teams.

                                    You must have mistaken this for the 'Above it All' thread.

                                        @Stag was meaning at AB level he was not flash. He got 2 titles at the Chiefs in the background too, along with the 2 as head of the Crusaders, his only real head coaching success?

                                          Would meet the (understandable) NZR requirement of continuity while being a pretty fresh broom with a proven track record at Test level.

                                          Before 2007 we had a slash and burn mentality. Continuity was the right decision then. But this isn't 2007, the GH/Shag coaching tree has outlived its time. Burn it all down

                                          Foster was the only part of the GH/Shag coaching tree that still existed at the end of 2019 as far as I can see. Arguably the tree is sprouting again with Cron coming back in as a mentor.

                                          But its less about the tree and more about cutting off the dead wood. At the end of 2019 the old wood sprouted legs and walked away leaving the NZRFU with the dead wood. Which they planted and have reaped the fruit of their decision.

                                          @PecoTrain yes, maybe one nepotism appointment, after WINNING a RWC is acceptable. But after losing the semi,.it should have been a new broom sweeping clean. It wasn't, and we're now here, lowest point in AB rugby ever.
