[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 767533, member: 12207"] John Mitchell was in charge for 2 years in which he lost a Bledisloe series and a World Cup. Smaller sample size and less achievements and with stats bumped up by the minnow games in the 2003 RWC. Again, you can disagree all you like, but across any number of sports you can point to guys that have taken over champion teams and looked like geniuses, but been pretty ordinary when they had a tougher assignment. In fact, John Mitchell kinda proves my point. It's since been shown he's not a very good coach, but he still got a solid winning record with the ABs - even if he didn't win when it mattered during his short tenure and never beat England.
