Eddie Jones to help Brumbies... Is this Jake's exit plan?

[Joe Mac]

Jake White is bringing in Eddie Jones to do a little consultancy work at the Brumbies. With the England job calling White's name, do you think this is part of his exit plan?

If he were to announce his departure at the end of the season and that Eddie was stepping into his shoes, it might show sufficient continuity at the Brumbies due to Eddies active involvement throughout the season...

[Brumby Jack]

He's always stated that Eddie would come in from time to time to help out. Just like George Gregan has been helping out.

Nothing to see here, move along.

 

[Brumbies Guy]

Jones has been in a formal consulting role with the Brumbies since at least April last year, it was one of White's first actions to appoint him and Gregan. This isn't new, just SMH catching up with the big wide world outside of NSW.

Oh well, I do love a good conspiracy theory

 

[Slim 293]

Yes, Jake White plans on leaving the Brumbies, and is personally, without the input of the Brumbies' board, going to appoint Eddie Jones head coach...

Despite Jones having just been appointed head coach of Japan.

FAIL.

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

eddie jones committed to japan until at least 2015 WC
so no
ah i see slim dawg posted it too.

 

[Joe Mac]

I never said that he would/could appoint him without notifying the board. I am just saying Eddie could be a good replacement for Jake if he decides to leave. My bad for not looking into his contract terms with Japan. Apologies Brumbies fans...

It was just supposed to be a little bit of fun but apologies for offending your delicate sensibilities Slim

And it's old news...
