[QUOTE="BPM, post: 948735, member: 59968"] Agreed. Baxter is rightly lauded for the work he has done with Exeter, but I would argue that their progress has stalled a bit. They’ve been a little unlucky with the groups they’ve drawn in Europe, but they’ve not yet looked like kicking on to the next level. Their game plan has not really developed and the plan b last season was to give it to Cordero or Nowell and hope they could make something from nothing. I suspect it could be similar next season with Hogg instead of Cordero relied upon to perform a bit of magic. Baxter seems like a thoroughly good bloke and if/when Exeter show that they can adapt their game, I’d be happy to get behind him, but not right now. Mark McCall is far more impressive IMO. I know he’s said he doesn’t want to work at test level but there’s nothing left for him to win (or prove) in the domestic or European game, so surely there must be some way of attracting him.
