The stuff article mentions he must win at least one. To me is not the wins, but the team winning as a team. If we lose both games, but play a recognisably improved game plan, I'd be much more happy then one or two wins in the back of Ardie, Jordan, and Beaudy on god mode

All Blacks head coach Ian Foster is understood to have been told by his New Zealand Rugby bosses that they expect him to resign if his side loses in South Africa or fails to show definitive improvements.
The Herald understands the request was made by NZR chief executive Mark Robinson and general manager of professional rugby Chris Lendrum at a tense meeting at Foster's house a few days after the All Blacks had lost the series to Ireland.
At the same meeting Foster presented his plan to reshape his coaching team by axing assistant coaches John Plumtree and Brad Mooar and bring in Crusaders forwards supremo Jason Ryan.
That move was approved, but Foster was then told it may not be enough to save his job and that he was being given the series against South Africa to prove whether he is the right man to carry on as head coach.
It is believed that when he was told that he should resign if performances and results don't measure up in South Africa, Foster made it clear that if Robinson wants him out, he will have to sack him.
The inability of that exchange to provide any certainty about what will happen to the All Blacks head coach has added to the sense that there is a growing disconnect between Robinson and Foster.
Foster the Team Man, if that's the case

Not his fault. Why should he have to resign from a contract he signed in good faith? The fault lies with the people who put him there

@Machpants yeah that is pretty shit, happy to throw Plumtree and Moar under the bus (although I guess they got paid out?)
As I have said before, I cannot believe there were no strict KPIs around performance put in last year when he re-signed, given his role is all about performance...if he didnt like them then or think he could achieve them, he wouldnt have re-signed would he!
For me, I would have had win Irish series, retain Bledisloe as non-negotiable must achieves, this tour, despite our record in SA in recent years, I think losing both in tight affairs wouldnt be the end of the world, but winning 1, probably should have been an important one...especially off the back of a lost home series.

I totally agree that NZR having no performance related non negotiable KPIs in the finest is another example of their utter incompetence. But it stick in my throat all the shit foster comes out with about doing the best for the ABs, leaving the team in a better place. He had by any measure left us at our lowest point ever, esp in pro era, yet hasn't resigned. Two faced selfish fluffybunny

@Winger well of course, but given what most fans foresaw with the appointment of Foster, they made thier bed, and comes with the territory?
I believe with Plumtree the feedback form players was not great

What an absolute Mess created by NZR.
Why dump 2 assistants then give the head Coach an ultimatum to win we don't know how many both/One Test ? in SA..
Bring in Jason Ryan who is Razor's best mate, it smacks of get rid of Foster but not sure how and when to do it.
Ryan if asked by NZR is going to 100% back Razor. -

Expecting him to resign is not a viable plan of action. Clearly Robinson doesn't understand how employment contracts work....

No, Foster is fattest.
