Tigers post Borthwick - next Head Coach?

[RagingBull]

Hmm not sure I think Wigglesworth would’ve put himself in the running for the head coach role.

Feel that either he or the club knows now he isn’t ready for it

Puts any Robertson rumours to bed!

It's probably for the best. We'd just be in the same position as Borthwick - if he succeeded at Welford Road the NZRU would swoop in and pinch him.

Key for me is the stylistic approach the new coach wants to take, and more importantly who else he brings in to help him deliver that, from a coaching panel point of view. We have seen close up, how Borthwick getting Walters and Sinfield helped our fitness, mental approach and defence, both structure and application. Borthwick had the lineout and maul functioning ruthlessly.
Whoever comes in needs to bring their own specialists to enable them to implement their own brand of rugby, not make do with whoever the board provide them. This would be even more important if it is Cheika, as he’ll be preoccupied initially and will need his assistants to be delivering his ethos.
I don’t know enough about who Cheika or Cotter have worked with previously/currently.
The names in the hat all have good rugby pedigree, Townsend, Cotter and Cheika have all done well at club level and then gone onto international teams. McFarland is the outlier, only one not to have coached internationally in his own right, but does have Ulster well drilled, was assistant for Scotland, and has coached Ireland A. I’d be happy with any of the above so long as the makeup of the assistant coaches is given equal importance.

I don't see Vern Cotter's coaching pedigree as being that great, out of the three above he would be my less favoured

The RFU and Steve Borthwick have stripped the club of our coaching assets and I bet he also took the 12 foot step ladder too!

Get a grip, man! The ladder is still here. I saw it at the last game!

[TTRITH]

The ladder is the new head coach, no?

[kpj tiger]

honestly I'm not so sure that the "no transition" rules people like Townsend out, to me it just read as we aren't going to keep appointing interim solutions and coaches who wont be around for long
