The one and only Wallaby Coach thread

Good

I'm happy for McKellar to stay where he is for now, it will be good experience for him.

I didn't think it was likely he'd come back

Geez, Wallabies coach, the job nobody wants!

 

[Derpus]

But we were assured by BH that it was a highly desirable role!

Geez, Wallabies coach, the job nobody wants!

I've previously expressed my willingness to do it for a 200k, an electric car, and carte blanche on telling anyone to fuck off where I deem them an obstruction.

Can't put a price on that.

While I'm at it, I'll reform the entire system in the off season under the same agreement

Do you know where the RA car park is?

You might be charging too much...

Do you know where the Rugby Australia car park is?

Mental image of Pfitzy sitting in the RA carpark in some beat up old Camry looking at his watch.

Looks like O'Gara is a bloody good chance of coaching in Aus ......... for the lions

 

[noscrumnolife]

They should take their time to get this whole centralise/alignment business sorted out, hire a high performance director (who can conduct the search for a HC), put some duct tape over McLennan's mouth and finish the umpteenth review (and actually implement the recommended changes) before we try hire somebody for the gig. At most 1-2 candidates will have moved on to new jobs by then, and it will be a more appealing role than it currently is.

Duncan McRae as his assistant coach?

Duncan McRae as his assistant coach?

Ohhhhhh I completely forgot, he should be the next wobs coach!

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

Another layer of how badly firing rennie / hiring Eddie fucked us

McKellar sounding very unlikely as next wallabies coach:

There's always change of circumstance and coming from some coaches (*cough* Eddie *cough*) those words might sound a little less unequivocal, but it's pretty hard to see him taking the job on now.

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

Sooooo.
Mckellar and Deans off the list.

Larkham
Jake White
Foster
Cheika
Ogara
Lancaster
Rassie

Basically it.
By far the best is foster as Rassie low chance.

 

[Tomthumb]

Foster? In what way is he the best at anything?

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

List revised
Turnaround Specialists

Out/Unlikely
Deans

Gatland (contracted to 2027)
Mckellar

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

Foster? In what way is he the best at anything?

Well. Knock him but he took an infancies all blacks team to the finals and within a bees dick of winning.
Aside from rassie no one else has near his credentials

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

Unfancied

He also is the first AB coach to lose a pool game. NZ played 3 good teams at the World Cup , and lost to 2 of them

He was also completely sidelined by Schmidt and Ryan

Hiring him would be a travesty
