Ex-England and Australia head coach Eddie Jones has ruled himself out of contention for the vacant British and Irish Lions role.
He certainly has, inadvertantly.

Nice of him to confirm it. Given apparently the RFU wouldn't be seen dead with him anyway
Lions are not part of the RFU, but I doubt Iuean Evans (from shit little Wales) would be keen on him either
Yes I know that, but when 30% of your base* won't touch him, good luck getting the others to agree.
*Let's face it: Scotland are like 15%, Ireland 30%, and Wales 25%

Justin Harrison is a plague - the king of corporate buzzwords who is also head of RUPA and a Stan Commentator on the review panel - that will go well.
He’s also a plank according to Austin Healy and he likes throwing medals away

Aged well...
McLennan argued former Wallabies were supportive of the move, and that Jones had a “hard edge” that Rennie did not. The chair later upset some players and fans by appearing to criticise Rennie’s penchant for playing guitar in team bonding sessions.
“I would rather we have somebody who’s really tough and we win World Cups than we have a Kumbaya session, everyone holds hands and we fail,” McLennan said.

@NTA said in Aussie Rugby:
McKellar rules himself out.
If he’s genuinely not interested why wouldn’t he take the opportunity to say
I’d love to coach the Wallabies one day, but that will never happen with the current board in place
I have no confidence in their ability to do their jobs and support me in doing mine

@MiketheSnow that is, perhaps, somewhat burning a bridge.
Edit: these situations lean toward POW rules i.e. answer the question you're asked.

How so?
Hopefully that will get the ball rolling to get them ousted and binned
And if not, he didn’t want the job anyway
Win, win

It’s Mark isn’t it?
Even Johns can’t fuck that up

No, it’s “Marky-Mark” - hyphenated names are always tricky
