Act with some diplomacy and not be a total tool. He is now a justifiable target of parody and derision through his own actions. I can respect passion and emotion, but is he a child or a professional coach. See my post a bit later about unaddressed flaws with the coaching of this side about what he should be doing and what the genesis of these losses have been and this year as last must be rated as a failure. So he has one of the worst losing records of a Wallabies coach, two failure seasons and bad behaviour. If the ARU had any managerial standing left they would be questioning his position, but they have also been rendered redundant by their total mismanagement up to this point.
He is damned either way. People always complain about the lack of personalities in sport and then proceed to complain even more when they get one!
I really dont think Cheika has a case to answer. He is selecting players from super rugby teams which for the most part seem to be struggling in developing a winning culture. The Wallabies generally follow an upward trajectory over the year untill the break over summer and loose the momentum the Cheika has developed.
If you look at players like Coleman, Hodge, Dempsey, Tui, Koirabete and plenty more, I actually think The Wallabies are generating some genuine youth and depth. These are all players blooded under Cheika.
And if his position was questioned, who would replace him? Nick Stiles? Tony Mcgahan? Cheika is the best by a stretch. Given the state of some of our administration and super rugby sides, blaming Cheika for all of the wallabies failures would be a very flawed way of thinking.
As for the behaviour, its all pretty victimless. Probably adds a nice change of pace from rugby's stuffy GPS boy image.
