Just because people don't think Jesus Robertson is the answer to everything, doesn't mean they're Foster fans. Get a fucking grip.
I don’t give a flying Fuck who get the job just not this lot of clowns,
So get a fucking grip .🤣 Ok but Robertson good
Mickey Mouse would be better than the clown circus.
Just Change the coaches anybody has to be better.Now we're talking. Opposing Robertson doesn't equal Foster fans. Having patience doesn't equal Foster fans.
I just want the ABs to win to be honest ,just get some coaches in who can turn this around,
I can’t handle 2 more years of this shit.Does the NZRFU have any say on selection of assistant coaches or is it totally in head coaches control. If Foster is def locked in then can we at least try and get some new blood in the assistant coaching roles

Chris Rattue: All Blacks review of Foster appointment now needed
Opinion: Foster may turn things around, but decision to appoint him was clearly wrong.
Can someone give me their credit card details ? I can’t seem to read this article but I bet it’s awesome.

NZR has also started work on contracting the rest of Foster’s coaching staff and management team.
Ian Foster reappointed as All Blacks Head Coach
All Blacks Head Coach Ian Foster has been reappointed through to the end of the 2023 Rugby World Cup, New Zealand Rugby (NZR) has announced.
-
Ian Foster has signed a two-year contract extension as All Blacks head coach through to the 2023 World Cup, the Herald can reveal. After much conjecture, the Herald understands New Zealand Rugby has moved to give Foster and his management team security as they prepare to lead the All Blacks for 14 weeks away from home. Foster's assistants John Plumtree, Brad Mooar, Scott McLeod and Greg Feek are expected to re-sign alongside Foster in the coming weeks. -
In my opinion some coaches are’nt destined to be successful but there are times several red flags that will stand out to wether things will go south .
1.Individual coaching record , i think we can all agree that was a concern from the time he was appointed to the assistant role to Hansen and part of that process segways nicely into my 2nd issue2.Because Foster was part of the previous regime , what part of a previously failed game plan would he bring to this current All Black team that would be so different than his predecessor ..?
The same voice is always an issue in my book , you would have to have a special mind to stimulate the same players , previously we had also seen errors in terms of individuals being played out of position ..and even more alarmingly anybody who knew a bit about Rugby could see the All Blacks were being pressured at breakdown which lead to ill discipline which meant the opposition have know worked out , hey if we hold the ball and create our own pressure it will be the All Blacks that fold .- Another area i always look to see what good coaches are up to is in and around development , who has Foster developed into a world class player …?.
Papalii and Blackadder come to mind , but they have really only got their opportunties because of injury .
Do us all a favour Foster and admit , you aint got the midas touch and move on

Can someone give me their credit card details ? I can’t seem to read this article but I bet it’s awesome.
Rather than see the All Blacks' 2019 World Cup crash for what it was, that of a coaching regime which had lost its way, NZR turned inwards as it always has done, ignoring any popular wish and sticking with its mates.
It was almost as if they felt so superior that the incredible semifinal mauling at the hands of England didn't actually happen, that to break with the Steve Hansen regime would be an unfair insult to the great but overbearing coach.
That's how Ian Foster - Hansen's assistant - became head All Blacks coach.
That poor decision was the product of a sport which ignores its audience and appears out of touch with the people and the trends of the game. It is an empire which has gone soft.
And it is coming back to haunt them big time. Tactics and motivation are being exposed. Foster is being completely out-coached, and his team out-muscled.
NZR has been well and truly embarrassed on the world stage by the Foster appointment. He is making a mess of it. And it is hardly a surprise.
It was a very long time since Ian Foster had been a head coach, and he wasn't all that successful way back then.
Those who had done the tough head coach yards in the current era - particularly the people's favourite Scott Robertson, Dave Rennie and Jamie Joseph - were left on the sidelines.
All deserved the job over Foster, and all would be doing a better job than him. I have absolutely no doubt about that.

That quote said it would happen before they went on tour, so don't hold out much hope.
I can't find a source which confirms their re-appointment though, so there is some hope.
Assuming you can't get rid of Foster, I'd look for two or perhaps three new assistants:
Forwards: If Plums is the voice behind Ardie at 8, he should go. I like Coventry, who else is there?
Defence: Robertson started as a defense specialist, correct @Chris ? Who else?
Attack: Brown is the obvious one to try to get, but I don't think they can get him. Who else?
Scrum/set piece: How happy are we with Feek here? Ryan could be good here as well. -

Robertson started as a defence coach? If he were to be brought in, would that be the most likely space as an assistant? Or just straight up forwards coach?

Well that depends on who the Assistants are I suppose.Were it all fits together.

Fozzie needs his control clipped. Appointing assistants and empowering them to fix aspects of the team might help. We are in desperate straights right now. JJ and Brown will not be available until after the RWC. Razor would have to put his HC aspirations on hold. Who else is there close by who might be able to help fix things? Gatland or Schmidt are close and theoretically available to at least try to steady the ship

I can't see HC's from the SR franchises giving up those jobs to align with Foster.
Especially after this NH tour.
They may see it as a poison chalice. -
