Next Blues, Crusaders, Hurricanes coach discussion
-
The forgotten man in all the talk about who coaches the Blues next is their present forwards coach.Over the past 5 years his forwards have always been at the least very competitive.He with his head coach won a title and were runners up last year.I would suggest selection errors cost them dearly in that match.He coached very successful HawkesBay and Nth Harbour sides ,and of course two titles with Dave Rennie 2012 /2013 with the Chiefs as forwards coach ,also Head Coach at International level with NZ Schoolboys and Samoa..Tom Coventry.

Tom Coventry
It's weird he hasn't been mentioned. Maybe he doesn't want to be a head coach?
Remember last year when the AB coaching change almost happened and MacDonald was going to join the AB's? The Blues were scrambling to do a reshuffle and there was no time to recruit externally.. the obvious choice for coach was Coventry but apparently it was going to be Halangahu. Maybe Coventry is happy just dealing with forwards?

I think it would be a shame for him to be completely overlooked,and to not be involved in some way.Who knows though what theBoard are looking for.Do all the present assistants have to wait their fate as well.?Very disruptive times for these assistant coaches I’m sure.

Jason O'Halloran
I've long hoped he'd come back and coach in NZ again.
What he did for the Turbos was incredible. Suntory's current attack coach, Eddie Jones rates him highly.
His coaching CV is impressive:
-
What a shambles all this has become.Three franchises trying to win matches with assistant coaches not knowing what their future is going to be.,or even have a job next season.

Same. He would be a good choice
The fact his name hasn't even come up in the media doesn't make sense
-
Media need to do their homework,and interview him.

Plenty of journos on the Fern. His name will come up soon.
Hope so, look at the difference in the forwards since he’s taken over.
-
Quite ironic Ross Filipo whose name has been mentioned as an up and coming coach,(I totally agree )was coached by Coventry at the Chiefs.
-
Just hope the Blues know what they are doing!Cant afford to lose a coach of his ability.I think all the Assistant Coaches at the Blues have done well.

Still no names as yet for coaching replacements. Really hope Scott is having is choosing his successor.
That's funny considering the negativity that surrounds Hansen supporting Foster getting the AB gig.
Maybe let the management choose? That way there might be a bit of freshness come through. -

Ross Filipo & Joe Maddock returning to fill the 2 coaching vacancies.

Ok news to me but we will see.
-
I know nothing about Filipo as a Coach but Maddock makes me nervous.
-
@kiwi_expat Wonder if Brad Thorn is in contention for an assistant role.
