    Schmidt seems to have got on board, can't be that bad surely?

          Has to be coaches that the players respect through previous records. Really not sure who.
          Might be some pissed off Super franchises as well

                Robertson was still keen on the AB job before Foster's contract was renewed before last year's EOYT wasn't he? I assume he would have taken the job back then.

                  TV3 reckons Razor is reluctant. Schmidt is the man and the assistants are goneburger

                  What is he waiting for? Sure the circumstances aren't ideal. But surely he would back himself?

                  It appears not. They said that Robertson wants the full 4 years before a RWC.

                  Understandable in principle, but if it's the role you want you take it when you can get it.

                  In theory sure, but if the job you have dreamed of having doesn’t have the right terms etc, then sometimes it’s just not right.

                  Not saying that is the case here because it’s all just speculation, but that happens in pro sports and the working world more broadly.

                  I would say tenure would be a massive negotiation point for any prospective coach. And if we are talking Razor, he has pretty secure employment now, and he would know all too well that Mitch and Deans were turfed after a RWC when there wasn’t a full cycle of prep for them and every appointment or reappointment since has been about the cycle.

                  @ACT-Crusader yeah I can see why he may be reluctant to take over if the opportunity presents itself in the very near future...

                  RWC inside a year, from what I understand about Razor is alot of his success is built on his planning and those around him, which also may be key to any decision he makes.

                  Then you gotta ask, let's say he gets his way, would people be able to handle if he bought O'Gara in?

                    I read somewhere over the weekend that Foster is seen as too much of a Good Cop within the setup. As much as I've gnashed my teeth about his selections and tactics since forever, one thing that has stood out is that I've never heard anyone say a bad word about him as a person.

                    Though this is a job for top performance as well, not solely for being a top bloke.

                          The All Blacks should be viewed by every aspiring coach around the world as a "must get this on my CV". We should be agnostic as long as they're the best.

                                    I can't see how Roberston could take over, to be honest. Two weeks before going to the republic? His support team is non-existent. Who picks the squad which is named in a few days? Crusader's contract? Young family ready for the pressure? (His wife would have something to say after all the criticism of Foster). Wishful thinking it seems. BUT I will still wake up each morning this week, look at my phone, and hope the message is there.

                                      God, I'd forgotten Vodanovich. Made Foster look like a genius.

                                      Who is Alex McDonald ?

                                      I bet he got some nasty letters in the mail that took days to arrive.

                                        What's Hammett up to? Holland is off contract isn't he? Boyd is back in the country too.

                                          Oh god I’ve just realised that Gatland is still floating around.

                                          If I was as evil as some other posters I could have started a thread titled “Gatland takes over”
