[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 194395"] That's a great point and is one I completely agree with. The Irish setup has been listening to the same voices for too long and there's a slight fear that such a scenario could remain under Kidney. While the likes of Niall O'Donovan have done a pretty good job, I feel it's time to sweep in new ideas. I'd be quite happy with a coaching and management lineup along these lines: Head Coach - Declan Kidney Team Manager - Paul McNaughton Backs Coach - Alan Gaffney Forwards Coach - Gert Smal Defense Coach - Tony McGahan All the above have tons of experience with Smal and Gaffney having tasted international rugby before. It would give Kidney a hell of a "brains trust" to bounce ideas off. Obviously other position specific coaches must be added. I'd love to see somebody like Mike Cron poached from the All Blacks setup to guide the Irish scrum. [/QUOTE]
