The guy is being replaced by his assistant at seasons end. No moves just timelines.

Will we? Why would players be recommitting with no announcement. Why would the signing if a coach remain silent unless it was from within?

Everyone knows that Foley will be the coach. I thought it was interesting that Hickey was quick to nominate the problem areas in detail v Cheetahs and they are all in Foley's current portfolio ( Hooker change, lineout performance, scrum performance). I wonder if Hickey was smiling on the inside?

New Age or not, I'd just like him to be in a position to truthfully say that his players "owned the breakdown". That's where games are really won and lost.

Is "Awesomeness" new age psychology speak?

Hickey in my mind has failed to instil a rugby culture or the necessary systems to win over his players and their supporters.
NSWRU, when they appoint their new coach, have to accept that he alone will be driver of success both on and off the field.

I was impressed with him on the rugby club, I think he is pretty effective coach who doesn't get phased too often.
I thought it was interesting that he thought the side lost confidence in their structures when things weren't going their way and decided to do it on their own and play as 15 individuals. To me it happened early when Burgess took a quick tap and we should have taken the easy points, and a little later when Mumm decided to kick to the corner instead of for goal
I also thought his tactical explanation on Ulugia was plausible, whether you agree with it or not. (he wasn't pulled, he was always only playing the first 30 odd minutes as a tactic to match their big scrum)
Now whether that is the down to the coach only and putting the assistant coach in place, I have my doubts. Foley would have been deeply involved in the Ulugia decision.

Gone.
Excellent club coach.... the next step up has proven too much for him.

Has it proven to much?
The tahs havnt gone backward under him, he is at the very least very compitent at his job. He hasn't progressed them to the stage of world beaters. they never have been though
Has any Australian coach really done better? Link will get brought up, but has he installed the culture or inherited it, does the fact in his years at the tahs he achieved only a smudge more than hickey ignored for the. Reds one good year?

The varied personae of fatprop as revealed by his frequently changing avatars are beginning to worry me. Counselling perhaps if it's not too far advanced.
