[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 636708, member: 57076"] always the same debate in sports...winning something, or you're nothing. Is Stuart Lancaster a lesser coach because Wales decided to win a Grand Slam, another consecutive ***le and then Ireland ? No he isn't, and I'll let you ponder what this implies on a larger scale by induction. You can't hold one man, Vern Cotter here, [U]responsible[/U] for a team's (Clermont) tumbles. Cotter's ASM Clermont won the 'bouclier de Brennus' once, which is already big as you mentioned. But a team isn't alone in grasping its destiny, there are all the other teams, the environment. It's good enough they made it to the European Cup final last year, if they were such chokers they wouldn't have made it that far with European giants all around. He must be considered here. Oh and since this is the thread to make such a comment: NZ coaches are the best. Also, in stead of Guy Noves, I think [B]Fabien Galthié[/B] (Montpellier) deserves the nod. He's coaching the top team in all of the Top 14, a league as we all know FILLED with fierce internationals and tough teams, and they're not as loaded as other sides about. In retrospect, being no.1 makes them higher ranked than Toulouse by far, but also than Clermont, Toulon, Racing, Paris etc... [/QUOTE]
