I'm curious to ask, how would Hurricanes fans feel about Holland leaving if they won the title this year?

He can put some nice attacking plays together, but can't select a team to save himself. Done better this year though, but still some odd selections.

@Machpants I expect this part involves alot of movement of current super coaches, so will take some ironing out!

Agree. But he's only done better against the weaker team. He's got qualities to be a good assistant coach but not a head coach

Smart move to not select a Crusader as captain. If it happens.

Not really, the coaches are all NZ contracted, so the sorting of assist coaches is not hard. The hard part is 3 SR teams cleaning up the mess afterwards, like we had with Hollands appt last minute to the Canes 2019/2020

They may be NZR contracted but many get top ups from the Franchise partners

How many assistant coaches does Robertson want? If that NZH article is correct, MacDonald is sort of redundant when you also have Holland in charge of the attack.

If this helps, I did some digging for you - a complete history of Razor's assistant configuration.
NZ U20's (less relevant as limited resources for a full coaching set-up.)
2015: MacDonald, Umaga.
2016: Philpott, Rickards.
Canterbury
2013-2014: Ryan, Holland, Hansen.
2015-2016: Ryan, Haggard, Maddock.
Crusaders
2017: Ryan, MacDonald, Mooar.
2018-2019: Ryan, O'Gara, Goodman, Mooar.
2020: Ryan, Hansen, Goodman, Jones.
2021-2022: Ryan, Hansen, Goodman, Ellison.
2023: Perrin, Hansen, Marshall, Ellison.
Seems like a forwards/set-piece coach, 2-3 attack/backs coaches, & defense coach is his preferred structure.

For New Zealand Rugby, the awkward ramifications of signing off that team would involve telling All Blacks assistants Scott McLeod (defence) and Greg Feek (scrum) they will soon be on the outer as part of a widespread cleanout
Awkward ramifications? Must have been such an huge surprise to them all...hope none of them read that article.
Weird take by NZH

But you repeat yourself

Robertson is understood to have settled on, and now informed, his preferred All Blacks coaching team. That includes incumbent forwards coach Jason Ryan leading the scrum/lineout/breakdown, Blues head coach Leon MacDonald taking charge of attacking shape, highly-regarded Crusaders assistant Scott Hansen overseeing defence and Holland designing strike plays.
For New Zealand Rugby, the awkward ramifications of signing off that team would involve telling All Blacks assistants Scott McLeod (defence) and Greg Feek (scrum) they will soon be on the outer as part of a widespread cleanout, with head coach Ian Foster and Joe Schimdt already signposting their intent to move on after the World Cup.
Paywalled
@Machpants quoted NZH in It’s Razor. Robertson New All Blacks coach.:
Blues head coach Leon MacDonald taking charge of attacking shape
Well, I guess we're all going to be thrilled with the difference in Beauden no longer cross field kicking to try and stretch the defence...
