[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 863350, member: 43875"] Gatland is an ok coach and a good guy. Heck I'm from the Waikato and he used to be a relief teacher at my high school when he was a player and he would come to our training and coach our scrum and forward pack some times. Waikato players of that era were revered in the community. But I cant see him coaching the All Blacks for a dew of reasons. 1, he has a bit of an ego that comes out to play some times. 2, his style is very different to what has become the norm for NZ rugby 3, the AB's have been so good for so long that the key is maintaining continuity in the coaching setup. to expand on 3, the most likely succession for Hansen is for Ian Foster to take over and a new assistant to be appointed, like Tana or Scott Robinson. If you want to be AB coach. First show you can cut it as one of the assistant coaches and work as a team of coaches. one of the great things of this AB coaching setup which has been true since Grahame Henry was in charge is that the coaches are all equally important and they work so well as a group. I think its kinda a shame Renee went overseas. It maybe sounds like he wasn't interested in an AB assistant job but wants to be head coach, but I think its unlikely someone is going to come straight in from outside the setup and become head coach. it would change things too much.
