Who does TSF want to be the next AB coach?

[Derm McCrum]

I voted for ROG with Eddie Jones as his assistant - an exciting combo that should keep yiz busy for a few years.

[Mokey]

Noting that Schmidt is unavailable, I voted for Rennie. But that is more a best of the rest vote, because I see Robertson as a future AB coach for sure, but not quite yet. More Super experience, then an assistant AB role to start.

Foster, Deans, Joseph - no thanks. And given what a twat Gatland was last time he was in the country, I don't know how well he would slip into the role.

@derm-mccrum whats BOD upto, go the trifecta!

[Frank]

Voted for Scott Robertson.
He seems a good bugger and it would piss Nepia off.

[Nepia]

@nzzp I gave you a like although no one has actually suggested all of 3.

I picked him as one my 'two' head coaches ya bloody dipshit . (But the terms of the poll wouldn't let me pick two so I went with Rennie).

[No Quarter]

I like Robertson, a real breath of fresh air and so far has the results to back him up.

Otherwise would be happy with Rennie.

[MN5]

Robertson.

They need a coach and support staff who look in good shape, not the pack of slovenly walking heart attack fat fluffybunnies they have currently.

Failing that Leigh Hart nominated himself a couple of weeks ago, he could be in with a shot.

Robertson will give some bloody funny interviews and I am looking forward to him breaking his hip trying to breakdance after he wins the 2024 World Cup

[Bovidae]

If you looked at the main contender's CVs as a head coach at this point in time then Gatland, Rennie and Schmidt are the best qualified.

what sport?

[Paekakboyz]

@nzzp and he'd only ever refer to triple T 😁

[Kirwan]

If Schmit is unavailable then I’d go Robertson. Has had success at each level he’s had, and Blackadder showed that wasn’t a slam dunk just cause Crusaders.

Rennie without Wayne Smith would be a risk IMO.

Don’t want Gatland anywhere near the ABs.

[Tim]

Bringing back the "Junior All Blacks" would be a good way to give NZ based coaches international experience.

[Chester Draws]

NOT Foster. I'm a f**cking Waikato boy as well. Anyone else. Anyone.

Schmidt. Rennie. Robertson. In that order, but not hugely fussed.

But NOT Foster. I've enjoyed the last decades of AB dominance, and want it to continue.

[NTA]

Michael Cheika

[Siam]

Tana would bring mana to the position

[Damo]

Foster.

I think we have benefited greatly from having continuity in the coaching team for the last 16 years. Let it continue with a couple of very good assistants in the ranks.

He'd need an assistant. What's Jed Rowlands up to these days?

[Tordah]

Want: Rennie and Robertson combo, I don't mind who is head coach.

Expect: Foster.

Don't really want despite the hype (because I have an elephant memory when I feel like it): Schmidt.

Edit: As I could only have one vote I picked Rennie.

I agree on all counts, the Chiefs in 2012/2013 and then Crusaders in 2017/2018 showed clear signs of superb coaching, and both had tremendous success with NZ U20s to boot
