The 'How is Fozzie going?' thread

On topic, an AB's coach needs to have an edge. The ability to put the fear of god into a player. In this day and age, it's become harder and harder to have that edge because in the professional era all the power is with the players. Yes even in the ABs, no dickheads, environment.
But I'll say this, Fozzy has about as much edge as a spherical pillow.

aside from TJP, whihc other current AB contracts are up for renewal this year?
I expect if he is a shit coach, we will see a few start to jump ship?

They need to at least have some presence and command the respect of the players. Rennie strikes me as someone that does that big time - the Wallabies are bloody lucky to have him in charge given their 'cultural' issues they've had in the past. Foster really doesn't give that impression at all.
Of course I'm speculating from the outside in so who knows, but he doesn't exactly have a track record of getting teams to buy into a coherent game plan.

@No-Quarter I agree, Rennie just oozes Rugby IQ, like this guy knows what he is talking about. Fozzie looks like he is an expert at the Maccas menu.

He the most under qualified ABs head coach since Mitchell. I still hope he can prove us all wrong

and for top level NZ coaches, who could forget the exciting 11 month regime of Andy Moles
From Griqualand West, via Hong Kong and Scotland to NZ. Followed by a stint as a school coach, and then Afghanistan national coach.

I think that coincided with that horrific period where no top six batsmen had a 100 between then, only McCullum and Vettori down the order had a few.

hijacking this thread, but yep. Goddamn. I googled it. Some talent there - Taylor, Vettori, Oram, Ryder, but also Tim McIntosh, Jamie How (who I really wanted to step up), and Daniel Flynn.

My issue with BB at 10 is in the past the backline just has not hummed with him, really static, and for some reason his kicking from hand in that position not inspiring either.
Yeah, lets not all forget that a huge portion of the shit play the ABs have served up over the last 3 years has had BB at 10. Individual brilliance aside, the backline and tactical play has been frustratingly poor for a long time.
Whoever the 10 is, I think they are going to struggle with these tactics of playing off scarps of ball and flinging it wide at the first opportunity without the forwards generating some momentum. That just leads to messy disjointed play in the backline. Then the ball gets kicked away.
The backline tactics have been junk for ages. I wonder who the backline coach was 🤔
Jamie Joseph with Tony Brown as the backs/attacking coach might have been the answer
Andy Moles - Wikipedia
