Time For a New Coach
-
Renowned for not mincing his words as coach of the Magpies, Philpott said his new role was another stepping stone to becoming a Super Rugby and All Blacks coach.Dear Lord help us all, if this eventuates!
Philpott said during his Magpies stint he relished introducing home-grown talent as well as grooming players who went on to perform on the ABs and NZ Maori stage.Exactly which player has he introduced or groomed, who went on to become an All Black? None!

Perish the thought of the All Black Coaching personnel consisting of any combination of C Philpott, J Mitchell, M Hammett and I Foster at any time in the next one hundred years. Still with the best part of fifty players required for the five games on this tour I'm sure they can argue a corresponding increase in the number or coaches required and get all four onto the gravy train.
Look at his player development, he has groomed Messrs Renton and Cridge out of Super Rugby contracts (admittedly injuries did not help those two a great deal).
