Rennie Sacked, Eddie In!

from a management perspective this is an interesting case
it appears, from teh outside, the Rennie has spent 3 years building culture and depth, to varying levels of success depending on how you look at it. And it's cost him his job.
Did RA sign off on the plan and vision?
Is this just a decision by RA to get who they see as the best coach available?Didn't the wallabies have a camp like a week ago? Anything worked on is already redundant.

Yep seems bloody ridiculous to have a camp one week and dump coach next, perhaps RA got plenty of spare $s.

But there is no chance Rennie will work under Foster.
Why's that? If he hasn't got a Japanese gig lined up as rumoured then a rest with the family followed by a short term gig with ABs could be a good option for him.
Money? He'll get better money elsewhere, by far.
Fame? He doesn't seem like that sort of guy.
And if the ABs win, how much would he enjoy seeing Foster take the credit? That would be the killer for me -- there is literally no upside for him in doing it.
There's only one reason he might take an assistant gig, and that would be out of (misplaced) loyalty to NZR.

Why would it be misplaced loyalty? he has always seemed to have a good run with them, MAB coach etc until he went overseas

Unfortunately will Rennie have to rebuild his reputation again?
dunno, I reckon he has done enough in NZ rugby to serve him well, and from an outside perspective, you can see he has made improvements although Aus Rugby and he werent without thier issues.
NZR seem to love that International experience....
Yep taniwhai, but Deans seemed to of never really got another gig, and his rep was probably even higher than Rennies?
He's doing very nicely for himself in Japan without the stresses of test rugby.
Yep coaching at a level he is very good at.

He hasn't been that bad as an International coach of the last 6 Wallaby coaches over the last 21 years he has the 2nd best winning percentage behind John Connolly who only coached for 25 tests compared to Deans 75 tests and has a better winning percentage than Eddie Jones,Ewen McKenzie,Michael Cheika and Dave Rennie

Fuck me, McLennan talks some utter bullshit
“It is a major coup for Australian Rugby to have the best coach in the world return home to coach the iconic Wallabies and to oversee the Wallaroos program,” McLennan said.
Who was fired for being awful just weeks ago
“Eddie’s deep understanding of our rugby system and knowledge of our player group and pathways will lift the team to the next level.
Somewhere he hasn't coached for decades, deep understanding
“Eddie instinctively understands the Australian way of playing rugby – this represents an opportunity to secure a coach of immense expertise and experience at the biggest competitions, and we did not want to miss it.”
The Australian Way, Yeah Right

@NTA you didn't win the World Cup?
Eddie excels at targeting and winning a big game at the Cup, just not the final

That's one of the most moronic signings / choices I have ever seen.

With your experience at coaching, I would suggest you know the difference skills required as a coach at different levels etc.
Some bloody great club coaches just don't make the step up to NPC etc etc, just different skills etc. -

Actually Gregan always said it was only ever aimed at Kelleher, who he disliked, Justin Marshall actually thought it was good as he also thought Kelleher was a piston wristed gibbon, and heard him say those exact words!
