This discussion is pointless. McLennan will make the decision on who will coach next, just like he did last time. He has an ego as big or bigger than Jones (Alan or Eddie, take your pick). That means he is genuinely the best placed person to choose; in his mind anyway. So all other opinions are invalid. Does this remind you of a couple of heads of countries?
Based on his last great foray into coach selection and his steadfast refusal to accept any responsibility for it, I predict that he will just choose the very worst option of the ten that are presented to him.

And although he was predominately a skills coach for kicking etc when he was tied up in NZ, I still remember earlier this year James Parsons saying how incredible he was at teaching him things on throwing in to lineouts etc, and how switched on he was to almost every part of game.

He’s probably learnt to listen to others and take in what assistants bring to the group having not come from Rugby originally. I bet he can teach a skill better than most who have been brought up on it and don’t think about the detail of an action as much.
Don’t know if anyone has been involved in a lot of training of people work related but sometimes the old expert isn’t the best teacher as they struggle to explain how to get from A-Z. The person only a bit in front of the newbie can do this as they still think about it.
Mick Byrne would be the perfect guy at the 20s level or even in the High Performance role building standards.

‘It was bizarre’: The inside story of Eddie Jones’ chaotic second coming
The second coming of Eddie Jones began with high hopes, and ended with Australian rugby in its deepest ever hole. How did it go so wrong?

Yes. Gibson was not a good choice.

I would say it generally involves focusing on being good at Rugby Union specific skills such as set piece.
And building a game plan that works with the current squad.
Its a fairly simple plan that seems to get results. It might not be "exciting" to some but Id rather have been a Brumbies supporter the last couple years than a Tahs supporter. The Tahs game plan last year was "Lets just get big and hope the rest works out. Oh shit Bell is injured, now what do we do."

Much better to keep them in cotton wool and training! No games… what an absolutely ridiculous comment.

Why are we so obsessed with 1 clubs "style" look at the stormers they play completely differently to the national team & both win all the time

Put in a position completely inappropriate for his experience.
Reflection of NSWRU at the time more than anything I think. How he was qualified to be GM is beyond me.
My guess is he's probably very happy to be out of the professional arena. Although the schools don't tolerate poor results either....

That sounds worse than the last days of Greg Smith and that poor bastard had a brain tumour affecting him.

Look, RA should hire a couple of Aussie dads.
We've retained our winning streak against the outgoing coach and have a better percentage than him and Rennie.

I heard he was responsible for signing ex Newington player Tepai Moeroa on some ridiculous amount of money at the time for the Tahs. Unfortunately, a complete waste of money they couldn’t afford!

Seems to lend credence to speculation around abysmal comms, senior players challenging ‘the vision’, and diabolical strategy decisions.‘It was bizarre’: The inside story of Eddie Jones’ chaotic second coming

As someone else mentioned yesterday, one individual doesn’t make or break an organisation’s performance; however, in this instance, it seems like Supreme Leader Jones well and truly was the architect for failure. Should never have been allowed to happen, and should never happen again.
