That was quick, but not entirely unexpected.
Spin the chocolate wheel to see who is available.
With RWC 4 years away, some top notch coaches may be keen to take on a challenge, with a chance of picking up a RWC 19 gig in a year or two, or to resurrect their career following a post RWC15 sacking.
HJ - the issue will come down to whether the Force - after being reamed to near-death by two incompetent HCs in sequence - is on the edge of an irreversible death spiral, or not.
The ARU - the Force's new owner - cannot afford to go back to the 2006 model of paying big $ for a new core group of say 6-8 elite players, it'd be destroying its own policies.
The Force's crowd and sponsorship positions are at non-viable levels and the only proven way up is consistently winning more matches than they lose and playing an engaging brand of rugby.
But how now will they get the players with which to do that? Any any proven coach will surely fear that a rugby version of the Bermuda Triangle has emerged in Perth and they may never be found again once venturing there.
The only likely option will be a largely unproven coach on the rise who's willing to take a substantial career risk. And that in itself is very risky when surely the Force as an enterprise is on its very last chance.
The dice are loaded against the Force as they always were. All WA rugby-related board, managerial and coaching decisions and policies had to be repetitively top-notch for the Force to have any chance of sustained prosperity. When incompetence and poor choices overtook events, the die was cast.
