@KiwiMurph McLeod will be gone after 2023 regardless of who gets the job, Razor wants McDonald, Ryan, Holland, Hansen.

Are you sure about that Mcleod going I would not trust NZR to get that job done.
Joseph may want him in his coaching team. -
@Chris if JJ wants McLeod on his team then surely that proves us plebs on here know Jack shit about the defensive structures running at International level?

Must do, it proves something, and I have no idea what.
The mind boggles. -

I have said it before, but maybe McLeod has been given a shit sandwhich of a defensive system to coach rather than him being the brains behind the system.

It proves JJ isn't the coach we're looking for....

Ryan was given a shit show of a forward pack in terms of performance and, well, you know the rest

@Crazy-Horse yeah who knows aye, we won't know until he is gone or a new coach comes in, if he stays on...

strange thing about that If Joseph gets the job there is a real chance Ryan is gone.

McLeod gets talked up as someone that coaches defence well. I think that most of us have a problem with his defence theories. While the rest of the world looks to pressure through line speed he seems to advocate trying to defend slightly behind the gain line to increase turnover opportunities

Not defending him because I don't know, but are the theories his? I don't recall his work elsewhere.

@Crazy-Horse tbf though, surely anyone involved with the ABs the last 6 or so years could see our defence has been and still is poor, particularly defending any kind of depth (our goal line d can be very good) so why has it not evolved?
If it is Fozzies call, why isn't McLeod stepping up saying this isn't working...if it is McLeods, then wtf is Fozzie doing allowing it to continue on this long?
That said, as above, maybe we simply have no clue...

@Bones Highlanders had a passive drift defense under McLeod, unlike the Hurricanes suffocating rush defense under Plumtree in 2016 that didn't concede a single try, the irony is Foster took Plumtree who was a specialist defense coach and appointed him as his forwards coach - talk about setting your team up for imminent failure.

Um, nope. They didn't in the finals, if that's what you mean

I like that coaching option as well. Mainly because of Brown. The key to future AB success is unlocking defences and innovation. I don't see that from Holland or from Saders teams.
Hang on.. you're aware Brown has been coaching a team's attack in Super Rugby for the last 3 years right? should he not be judged on that?

Yes, he should.
Apparently, Razor is not innovative either (sorry I mean the Saders)
