I actually think that's what happened. He had a call with them, but it was a general chat about his future. Could he recommend coaching options? Could he coach the team? Is there anything else he could do?
So Eddie can truthfully say it wasn't a 'job interview' but it was a detailed chat about future employment.
No discussions at all
Asked whether he was talking to Japanese officials about a return to the role he last held in 2015, Jones again denied any reports linking him to the role.
“I’ve had no discussion with them, mate,” he said.
None at all?
“That’s correct,” he said.
Perhaps Crowley is the target

But it appears that Eddie is gooooooooooooone
Crowley for OZ would be interesting

There's no way they'd take on another Kiwi for the coaching position.

So who's next, Bernie?

I know he wants to, but if I was RA, he'd have to demonstrate some chops to take the job. And by chops I mean make the Brumbies a real force again IMO.
Otherwise they could look at Dan McKellar.

this is the problem, or possible problem with such a narrow structure, only five teams feeding into the international team...coaches, aussie has one teams thats doing ok...so the wallabies take the coach...we saw the same thing with cheika....then that coach doesnt have the support from beneath (because they were the only good one)...so they fail in the top job and go overseas
-
@Kiwiwomble generally correct. The complexity is that we don't have enough good coaching in Australia so we suffer from the tall poppy getting the gig.
The lack of coordination across our franchises means any warehousing hurts the whole game e.g. why is Billy Pollard sitting at the Brumbies waiting for an opportunity when we could get him on the bench or starting somewhere else?

i dont pay the "short prep time" excuse...literally bought in on the idea he could do better with a short turn around than Rennie could with a full build up
I think he got confused between what was needed for this RWC and the next one...theyre two different situations when coming in like he did

"We've got a lot of young players that are really going to benefit from the mental scars of not getting out of the group stage for the easiest run into a semi-final we could've asked for"

I'm sure Carter Gordon is in a good place

Eddie
I’m not an administrator, so I don’t know how to do it. I’m just a basic coach. I go out there with a whistle, blow the whistle, yell and scream, put my arm around the player every now and then. So I can’t tell you how to do that and I won’t try to tell you how to do it – it’s for smarter people than me.
Later same interview
My commitment is to put Australia in a better place, and you’ve got to have things operating to put it in a better place, and part of it is making sure we get better alignment. I’ve got to help drive that with the CEO and the chairman
Also, same guy talking with his changed narrative of lions/27 RWC
The national coach looks after today but there’s a need for someone to be strategic about planning what’s needed for Australian rugby to be sustainably successful, and that’s where you need a high performance director
Um you should have picked a more experienced squad, if you're looking after today
