[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 991534, member: 73592"] McCall, Schmidt, Cotter, Hansen, Jones, Erasmus Good arguments could be made for Cockerill, Boyd, Borthwick, Hatley, Gustard, Farrell, Catt, O'Shea Basically, anyone who's coached multiple teams, anyone who's coached at international level, hell, anyone who's taken a talented kid and got them up around "World Class" status* For me (contraversially), Baxter's biggest failure has been his England players. Between them, LCD, Simmonds, Slade & Nowell should be closing on 200 caps by now - they've currently closing on 100. 3 of the 4 are hamstrung by playing in the wrong positions for their talent (Simmonds is a flanker for every team that Exeter; Slade should be World Class by now, if played at IC; Nowell would be undroppable, rather than a place-holder if he was playing OC or FB).
