@taniwharugby haha god. Lightning doesn't strike often when you're a Canes fan, but that would certainly be great.

@foobanz IMO, if he gets back into coaching, even if it has to be at the 'canes, that'll be good for NZ Rugby!
I'd rather the AB's do an SOS to him and pay a premium that he can't ignore and then takes over.

He's stated many times that being a head coach doesn't suit him.
He's welcome to take over the attack and defence though.

Smith or Jo would be the dream. Or both together lol.
Here's a nightmare scenario for all civilised NZ Rugby fans.
- Foster is out (yay).
- Robertson gets the ABs (yay)
- Crusaders get Jo/Smith or both (boo)
Foster is out
Gatland is in.Now that would shit me.

Sorry I wasn't very clear.
For the ABs it's great. For anyone who's not a Saders fan (civilised) it would be horrible to have Schmidt / Smith involved with the Saders if Robertson moves on.

If they make Smith the head coach and Schmidt the backs coach then it will work out fine for the rest of us - see Smith's AB head coach and Schmidt Blues backs coach tenures.
Plus, I care more about the ABs being successful than franchise rugby.

@taniwharugby said in Hurricanes 2022:
@foobanz Wayne Smith is back in the coaching circles, currently working with the Black Ferns, maybe that'll re-ignite a passion and he will want a fulltime gig...
Smith has never been out of coaching circles, he doing it in Japan and has been for a while.. He coaches the team that Retallick played for.

@foobanz said in Hurricanes 2022:
Let's imagine we all get what we want and Holland is out end of the year (with the rest of the coaching group).
What are the options?
I saw Ozich mentioned earlier.
A dream would be Schmidt - he is from Manawatu after all.
Any other candidates?
Mark Ozich with Paul Tito as forwards coach? or Jono Gibbes (La Rochelle), Nick Evans (Harlequins), Jason O'Halloran (Suntory), would be some excellent candidates.
