Dead Man Walking. Leon surely is now in charge and they are just managing Tana out (keeping SBW happy until the World Cup?).
If they can get a decent forwards coach as well to work with him, and Jackson can improve defence it will be a big step forward.
As much as I dislike ex-players as coaches, at least this time they have picked one that has improved a team to NPC finalists, and been part of a Super Rugby winning combination. Small things like looking at results like that instead of celebrity status.
Hopefully they will keep Tana out of any more selection choices too.

I love that they don't want to undo all the hard work and 'experience' by putting a new coach at the helm...

I just don't understand why he does't quit? I guess he just doesn't care about his reputation at all.
Must be a good pay check.
He's married to the wrong woman?
Mrs Glover is going to get RESULTS!
(Jesus - what a hellion!).

Can't believe Redman still has a job.
I can't believe he ever got the job. What were the board thinking?

Well, i was expecting more peoples heads to be exploding after Tana got an extendion but i guess everyone saw it coming.
Leon is a good signing. Hopefully they can upgrade a few of the others too.
The other factor is there may be a deeper coaching pool available in 12 months time than there is now. The likes of Gatland, Pivac (if he was unsuccessful getting the Welsh gig) etc. So a 1 year deal for Tana isn't the worst outcome.
