[QUOTE="RC, post: 160509"] What?! Where the hell have you gotten this idea that the Welsh - be they public or big 'ed in rugby - have an obsession with getting Scott Johnson as head coach? Even when he was picked as caretaker coach we were all cringing at the thought of an already bad 6 nations continuing down hill. Trust me: we don't want the guy as head coach. And why? Becuase that's not his job. We'd have him back in the set up anyday. Players loved him and he did a world of good, but he wasn't the be all of the coaching. Andrew Hore coming back is a few of our prayers being answered and i'm certain he is being paid a large wad of cash to work his magic. But, more than anything, i'm agreeing with I Bleed Black here: If Gatland is, as IBB says, a no-nonsense guy without an ego then he will be the best thing for the players right now. Now we can't confirm or deny what the hell happened with the players and Mike Ruddock, whether there was "player-power" involved or not - something fishy was going on. The boys are not as rebelious as everyone likes to make them out to be, we're not the team who wants to run themselves and isntantly oust any management that disagrees with the experienced players. There are a few mouths in the team, a couple of egos and to be quite frank they've got to be stamped on. I'm hoping Warren's the man to do this. [/QUOTE]
