I don't know who your defence coach is, but I wouldn't be too hasty to get rid of them. We have one of the best attacking lines in world rugby and we didn't break through. One maul, one chargedown, and one half metre slide from a fired up 9 who is arguably our best player. We've scored tries from all over the field for the last couple of years, but not against you.
I know it is worth nothing, but I struggle to believe that a team that played the way you did today is looking at relegation. It's not right.

Ah yes the elusive proven one, he will arrive and fix the broken club, theyve been named, oh yes lists of them, but they may be looking elsewhere or could go elsewhere for better pay and an easier ride with the guaranteed backing of the a country backing or some fat cat. But as it's probably unattainable for Irish we can just keep this crusade going non-stop. I hear Arsene Wenger might be the one.

There's an article in the rugby paper on Martin Haag claiming he's struggling to find a job due to all the foreign coaches that are coming over. Would welcome him with open arms
Quote:glensman
Enough is enough, relegated twice in 3 years, virtually the same management team in place.Lost 15 out of 17 matches in the Premiership, we could end up with, played 22, lost 20.Keep the same management team in place?, madness.
Termination notices should be issued to the following at the end of the Season, or earlier.
Venter,Kennedy,Danaher,Hodgson[P],Skivington,Hodgson[C].Why persevere with these failures?.
The first rule of business, THE FOLKS WHO GOT YOU INTO THE @#$%& ARE NOT THE FOLKS WHO WILL GET YOU OUT OF IT.
The cash saved is probably the thick end of GBP 500,000 per year.For this sort of money we could recruit a world class coach with a PROVEN record of success and rebuild from there.
This is assuming that we are not ring fenced in the meantime.
Quote:Which players will leave if we get a new coach?LI Bohemian
Premiership experience, What about the players that will leave? could you plaese address that minor issue Or
Maybe just harp on about the bad signings instead, beautiful thing to have the power of hindsight and we are the only ones to make bad signings in most people's eyes, i suggest you go on other teams networks and realise they all have them, probably not as many as us, but you have to think that some players have better attitudes than others when it comes to a had
slog.

Surely more players will leave/ want to leave if we persist with the same coaches that haven’t produced the goods and for the most part produced boring rugby over the last few seasons.

Premiership experience? He was Bath forwards coach for three years in the Premiership. So more qualified than Kendo and the Gang were when they were hired. But we're off to the Championship first anyway.

Haag was Bath's Academy Forwards Coach for a year according to Wikipedia. He's never (according to wiki) coached in the Premiership
Quote:Bazzo
I would say that lots will leave if we changed coaches, especially the young lads who have come up under the coaches, my guess would be Joe, Johnny, Theo, Tom P, Rory B. There are some names for you. Maybe they would be happy under new coaches instead of the ones who you reckon produced boring rugby over the past few years. Or maybe, just maybe they would depart because they had good relationships with the coaches who helped them get England age grade caps and also helped them win an academy trophy, playing a very exciting brand of rugby. I go for the latter scenario there, but you might be right.
Quote:paulm1953
I would like to get back to the days when you turned up to watch a game and there was an air of we could win this game today (haven't felt that this season).
Quote:GHA
He's spent more time coaching in the Premiership (three years) than Kendo has. Judging by his CV which I only really found out about today, yes, he sounds worth the risk.
I mean, he was just a name plucked out of the air, but it seems like any name is a slight on the current boys, so apologies for that.
Besides it looks like we've gone with others now.

Fair play GHA, you plucked a name out of thin air and it got a bit of momentum there for a while. You did your best to get him a job. Don't be feeling down about it.
