I just don't think you can deny Robertson's consistency in success. Five consecutive SR titles is unprecedented (and they were also unbeaten in their run for a sixth). That shows a knack for making the right call at the right time, in both selectorial and coaching decisions. It also helps that he appears to genuinely relate to the players better than I think the older generation of coaches do.
And for those that talk about the wealth of talent at Robertson's disposal and the front office etc: Blackadder won 0 titles in 8 years.
Not to hark on about Foster's record but he is obviously (partly) accountable for the 2017 lions series and the 2019 world cup. And a 50/50 record in 2020 is straight up poor. I think the ABs have to go unbeaten to finish the year as the #1 team and I think that would be enough to prove he should keep the reins. If not though I think Robertson/Brown should be appointed from '22 onwards.
How the hell are you going to appoint Robertson and Brown, Robertson wanted Brown to stand as his assistant last time, and he said no thanks I am keen on sticking with Jamie Joseph at Japan until after the next WC.

Keep him in MIQ permanently until he agrees.

Like to make it clear, I not arguing that anyone doesn't have the right to an opinion of who should be AB coach, just saying that are we from the outside the ones to say someone should or should not be appointed. As NZZP rightfully pointed out AB coach is probably one of the most coveted jobs around, and so there are probably quite interview process to go through to get job. Those that are saying the jobs was always Foster, I think are being unfair to the people involved in the selection process. Do any of us know what the forward plans that Foster and Razor put to the board? I surely don't, but I bet they were asked to table some kind of plan etc. As I said I not into saying it should be Foster or Razor etc, just that Foster has been appointed, and like when players are selected when I think it should maybe someone else, I am an unashamed AB supporter, so whoever is picked to do any job for them will have my full support and I won't sit on sidelines trying to pick holes or weaken support for them.

It was a done deal on Foster .Succession plan was always in place it's how NZR works.
I always support the AB's but it will not hold me back from commenting on stupid selections and lack of game plans especially a go to plan B if A is not working.RE.England WC Semi Final. -

Seems to be more loyalty to Joseph and to Japan?

Those that are saying the jobs was always Foster, I think are being unfair to the people involved in the selection process. Do any of us know what the forward plans that Foster and Razor put to the board? I surely don't, but I bet they were asked to table some kind of plan etc. As I said I not into saying it should be Foster or Razor etc, just that Foster has been appointed, and like when players are selected when I think it should maybe someone else, I am an unashamed AB supporter, so whoever is picked to do any job for them will have my full support and I won't sit on sidelines trying to pick holes or weaken support for them.
It was a done deal on Foster .Succession plan was always in place it's how NZR works.
I always support the AB's but it will not hold me back from commenting on stupid selections and lack of game plans especially a go to plan B if A is not working.RE.England WC Semi Final.And what do you mean that is how NZR works? I take it you have been involved for you to know it's a fact.
Only suggestion I would make if you support ABs or whoever you don't make up things and pretend they are fact, and then post them online as though they are fact.Look mate its obvious you don't know what or who I know,So you are making up the BS.

I think they have woken up that the succession plan is not a good idea anymore.
Razor also has an out clause in his contract to exit in 2023.
As he obviously thinks The succession plan may still be on the table.Edit I don’t wear knickers.

I just don't think you can deny Robertson's consistency in success. Five consecutive SR titles is unprecedented (and they were also unbeaten in their run for a sixth). That shows a knack for making the right call at the right time, in both selectorial and coaching decisions. It also helps that he appears to genuinely relate to the players better than I think the older generation of coaches do.
And for those that talk about the wealth of talent at Robertson's disposal and the front office etc: Blackadder won 0 titles in 8 years.
Not to hark on about Foster's record but he is obviously (partly) accountable for the 2017 lions series and the 2019 world cup. And a 50/50 record in 2020 is straight up poor. I think the ABs have to go unbeaten to finish the year as the #1 team and I think that would be enough to prove he should keep the reins. If not though I think Robertson/Brown should be appointed from '22 onwards.
I don't disagree with your main point, but one small point is that during that time Blackadder's ABs almost always showed up to AB games ready to contribute and play really well. In comparison, Robertson works the fuck out of a few key human resources (Whitelock, Taylor especially) during Super to the point where they looked tired by the time AB games roll around.
Edit: BTW, you won't get Robertson and Brown.

There was something about watching Blackadder's Crusaders that was a bit like watching NSW play Sheffield Shield cricket in the late-90s and early-200s - on paper they had their pickings of pretty all the best players in the country, but in truth those guys never played as much Shield cricket and when they did it was more about warming up for test cricket.

@frye i think there are a lot of factorsstill in the Crusaders favour that slightly skew the number of titles.
But
Having talent and depth but getting the best out of it is what being the AB coach is all about.
However, for all the talk of the head coach, at test level i am more convinced than ever that the quality of the assistant coaches has more to do with the overall success of the team than just the HC.

In the current game, the most important coaches are arguably the defence coach and the skills coach. Our skills dropped off when we lost Mick the Kick and our defence is obviously shit
