[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1111917, member: 73592"] They are; but Eddie post RWC still isn't as bad as it feels though. In terms of win ratio, Eddie post RWC is above average for an England coach (58%, or 6th out of 16* [or 4th out of 8 professional era]); and there's no way that wouldn't be increasing again had he been given the last 12 months of his contract. Going into the RWC23, England are essentially guaranteed a QF spot and heavy favourites for a SF. And that'd regardless of who's coaching. Taking out hyperbole and dislike, there's absolutely no doubt that Eddie had a plan for the RWC; whether we can tell what it is or not. Any new coach isn't going to really have time to put a detailed plan in place, and will have to reply on a fairly simple plan, and empowering of players (ala 2007) - relying on the inherent talent and a dead-cat bounce (and a whole year's worth of DCB is a hell of an ask). IMO Eddie had a better chance of us reaching the final, and a much better chance of winning the final than any new coach. An inexperienced new head coach has much more opportunity to sh[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]i[/COLOR]t the bed than an experienced one. That's my concern - that I wanted Eddie out doesn't really change that. * taking out the 2 caretaker HCs we've had, and doing the same for SCW, diving his into the first and second 4 years in charge. 1 82% SCW b 2 77% EJ a [S]3 74% Rowell 4 71% Cooke[/S] 5 61% Lancaster 6 58% SCW a & EJ b 8 55% Johnson 9 55% Ashton 10 41% Robinson [S]11 36% Green 12 33% White, Elders, Colston & Davis 16 25% Greenwood[/S] [/QUOTE]
