[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1024522, member: 59968"] Eddie Jones is not going to get sacked. OK, performances have been poor since the RWC, but it would be grossly unfair to sack a coach with his record, not to mention massively expensive. Given the RFU coffers have been decimated by COVID-19, that is a big factor. Yes, I’d like to see us winning and playing more attractive rugby, but there seems to be a strange expectation that Eddie is underperforming unless we win every game. That’s just not realistic. [I]IF [/I]it does happen, my choice would be Pat Lam every day of the week. Yes, Bristol have given him a fair bit of money to build their side, but he’s done just as well with the unheralded signings like Randall or Thacker as he has with the star names and his achievements at Connacht show he’s very good at getting the maximum out of his players which is key as an international coach IMO. He also has his teams playing attractive rugby and knows English rugby well. What’s not to like? Baxter has done a great job with Exeter and seems like a top bloke who is able to build a great playing culture. BUT, we see very little variation from the tried and tested gameplan and that worries me. We also haven’t seen him outside of the Exeter environment. I’m sure he’d be able to replicate that success again, but we haven’t seen him do it. [/QUOTE]
