[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 793814, member: 55446"] I hope it is an exaggeration, but I'm inclined to believe it isn't because I can imagine the feels myself. I think most people want to leave behind some kind of legacy or sense of personal or professional achievement during their lifetime. If I had failed in the way Lancaster had, tarring my own name in the eyes of (millions of) others whilst also failing my own expectations, it would eat at me. It's unlikely Lancaster will ever be the England coach again, and for an English coach, what other achievements can you gain in the sport that will overlook your failed tenure as an England coach? Would I be happy with my career if I failed England spectacularly but led Gloucester to a Premiership win? I don't know. To us spectators, it's a sport. But for the people who play and coach in it, a lot of self-worth is tied up in your successes and failures. So I can kind of see why it might not be an exaggeration. [/QUOTE]
