Hanson and Schmidt get on quite well too right? (Didn't he buy tickets off him for the game?) Maybe it'll be a straight replacement keeping existing AB assistant coaches for the first year as he beds in and then he'll appoint his preferred team after that.

Remember how Wayne Smith would get at least one big money offer a year when he was an assistant? I wonder if Foster has ever had one.
Maybe he gets bribes from other countries to stay on?

@machpants said so himself.

@bovidae According to this piece, Andy Farrell might get the Ireland job if Joe Schmidt leaves.
Five coaches Ireland could consider if Joe Schmidt decides to walk
Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt will reportedly decide on his future next week with New Zealand emerging as a strong suitor.

@snowy Can't see a massive difference between him coaching Ireland and Ted and Steve Hansen coaching Wales before moving to the All Blacks.
To coach a side from 8th to 2nd (nearly top) of the World Ranking is some achievement for Mr Schmidt.
So you CAN change the team culture and get results at the same time! Who knew???!!!

Who would want to be the next coach of the ABs??
Unless next year completely falls in a heap, you have to follow a guy that has been either assistant or head coach through the greatest period of dominance the sport has ever seen, regardless of the world cup result next year.
You come in, and you either continue in the same manner, as everyone expects, and you cop shit for every minor setback. Or the team drops away, and you get blamed for burning the legacy. How the fuck do you win.
If we win the Cup it's even worse.

How many wins did Wales get?
I just remember Ted being hailed as the Great Redeemer only to be cast out not long after

Henry did well for Wales but Hansen really didn't.

Which one of Hansen and Ted helped drive the changes in Welsh rugby? Didn't one (or both) get credit for righting that structure?
I'd be keen to see schmidt take the reins, potentially with razor in his team. Too early for razor imo, but he'll be in the mix soon.
