[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1098120, member: 65365"] Its not that simple. It's not about individuals being incapable of good leadership. Different interpersonal dynamics and different circumstances can make a big difference. But also strong characters can drive continued success just as easily as continued failure - if a few dominant voices are driving things and the team is winning then those voices have strong credibility, not so if they are losing - in that case you don't want continuation, you want other voices to be heard. Look at brown with the highlanders; the team lost their mojo - he's been part of coaching groups of teams with incredible mojo, yet didn't know how to turn it around. Teams get in a funk sometimes and need the cages to be rattled to reset - changing coach may not be enough. And what makes you think the players don't believe in the coach btw? And I'm not saying you are wrong (I have seen some evidence to suggest you might be at least partially right) but I hope you have some well thought through insight to counter the obvious publicly available facts - - The leadership group has been consulted thoroughly and have basically been driving the decisions - to keep foster and get rid of the other coaches. - Plumtree also praised foster - said he was the best head coach he'd ever worked with (better than Schmidt). --Mounga has come out and said foster is the right man for the job and a great coach; mounga who plays for razor would rather have foster, apparently (or wanted to be picked in the starting team - seems it worked lol) [/QUOTE]
