AB Positions up for grabs

Thought I would put this here.
Akira really did catch the eye in the Blues first game. Be interesting if he can back it up this Friday.

Dont you thik that the best NZ coaches now are all overseas? Umaga, Boyd (soon gone), Cooper, Mauger, robertson dont actually measure up to Schmidt, Gatland, Rennie, Cotter in my eyes
-
@dagrubster but where did those coaches cut their teeth before going overseas?

Pretty harsh on Razor, his record suggests otherwise.
He Brad Mooar are 2 of the most exciting young coaches I've seen in years.
-
@dagrubster He might be young but Robertson has done nothing but win so far (Canterbury, NZU20s, Crusaders).
Also Plumtree seems to be the real coach behind the Canes rather than Boyd.
-
NZ of course, but that is not the question. Where are the top 3 NZ club/franchis coaches currently based in the world?
-
@kiwimurph thats why they made him assistant coach Murph!
-
@dagrubster not sure what your point is, at that top level, very limited jobs available, and with the ABs success rate, the template for succession seems sound, whether you agree or not.
All of them aren't gonna come back to NZ to coach Super rugby, for the most part it will be a step back, and def down in terms of $$$.
-
@sammyc I like Razor, but I'd like to see him in charge of a less talented team (not sure what the standard of his club sides were like?) In fact, despite the fact that we've just had a Cantab coach who screwed us I'd like to see Razor take over the Magpies if it goes belly up with the new coach. A year or two of that and he'll be primed for a role with the ABs.

yea, lets get a Super Rugby winning coach to step back and coach a park football side, reeeeaaaal clever

Hey, I just want to ensure that our coaches are the best prepared they can be, going through a bit of adversity at a lower level will help them deal with it at higher levels - I wouldn't mind if he returned home to that other Bay either. Either that or he could coach the Blues for a couple of years.
On a serious note, I'm pretty sure that Rennie's time building the Poo into a reasonable team helped mould his style at the higher level.
-
I find this comedy talk @Nepia
Razor has success with a strong NPC side and NZ U20 side so the next step up is Super Rugy where he turns round an under performing team and wins first up and you want him to run backwards now after success to go forward again?
He is developing into excatly what the AB's require, a coach who can be successful and keep successes going of a successful team
-
they dont need to be coaching at super level to be considered for AB coach roel anymore.
Thats what Tew has said I beleive.
Anyway, point is we have got to a point where our coaches in NZ are not as good as our coaches overseas.
