[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 792882, member: 43875"] Ian foster will never get the respect he deserves in some circles. He's a very good coach. No he never won a ***le with the chiefs but he stuck to selecting players who were actually from the chiefs region and he did very well with the squads he had which were constantly weak in the tight 5 and he basically never had a good 12. His chiefs were maybe the last NZ super rugby team to truly represent their region in terms of where the players were from. But it was a weakness compared to other franchises in terms of results. Renee came in and the number of Waikato players in the chiefs squad went from something like ~14 to ~3-4 and he used his player connections and experience from under 20's coaching. I think with Ian Foster we are now just seeing just how good of a coach he is, the aspects of the AB's he's been in control of have hardly skipped a beat. As far as Hansen's replacement goes people better get used to the idea of Ian Foster. Graham Henry has established somewhat of a dynasty and Hansen has maintained that momentum. I don't believe NZRU will be keen on a scenario where the Coaching team are cleaned out and a completely new team come in. What I can see happening is a scenario where Ian Foster stays on and maybe becomes head coach and Renee comes in as his assistant, and if that goes well then Renee has a good change of eventually being head coach... Either way ian Foster is the Guy who is there that can maintain continuity in the setup when Hansen steps away, which could be after the Lions tour? The Aussie Record aside though there is a lot to like about Dave Renee's coaching, he produces good squads year in year out and his teams have performed well even during injury crisis periods like now.
