@Chris Why are Crusaders always so in-house and insular with their coaching picks?
Two heads are better than one?
At least that is what they tell me in Tasmania. -

It all comes down to having an existing connection with Canterbury or Crusaders culture as a former player or coach. Why do they rarely look outside of their own backyard?
Ronan O'Gara was sought out by Razor himself and that decision was a raging success.....the players mentioned how good it was to be exposed to a different (NH) perspective, set mindset from having O'Gara in camp.
What are they scared of? It's delivered titles before (Colin Cooper 2002, Vern Cotter 2005 & 2006, Goodman,, O'Gara, etc...)
Rob Penny and Colin Mansbridge are the answers.

Do you know him personally do you.
He is just a shit coach I don’t dislike the person just the methods.
Razor is a great bloke too in fact an outstanding bloke so is Scott Hanson.
If you expected me to watch your video you are deluded. -

Oh they're several times removed.
But once the police leave, they keep coming back. -
Discarded All Blacks coach holds no ‘grudges’ as he rejoins the Crusaders after ‘tough’ experience
A former All Blacks coach, who was unceremoniously dumped following the team’s poor run of form, is back working in New Zealand.

No amount of dramatic music along with some grainy stills of him in the red n black hoops will make up for him being a coach that still makes a lot of errors.
I am not convinced.
