[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 792903, member: 38640"] God I would hate Ian Foster to ever get near the head coaching role. I disagree that continuation will really be a deciding factor after 2019. Yes Hansen was selected to take over in 2012. He had 8 years or so of experience as part of a coaching team which finally won a World Cup. But unlike Foster; who who was Plan B to Hansen? When Hansen was made head coach, the last Super Rugby coach to win a Super Rugby ***le was Robbie Deans back in 2008 (who at the time of Hansen's appointment was the Wallabies coach). The candidates were so thin I remember reading John Kirwan was interviewed (along with some credible coaches like Cotter and Schmidt). Now we have a coach who has won 2 ***les (and potentially more by the time 2017 / 2019 rolls around). The other thing to consider is that if you continue selecting coaches from in-house - you're simply going to lose more and more Super Rugby coaches to overseas clubs and teams. It would be a reasonable reward making Rennie the head coach post 2019. I think Rennie is an extremely astute coach - but not without flaws. He rotates more than any other coach I know of; and he does seem to have a knack for getting all of his players injured every single pre-season (that is probably bad luck as well, but it is [I]every single[/I] season!). That said I think if he is overlooked it would be ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
