[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 346197, member: 13611"] Munstermuffin or any Munster fan for that matter; what's your take on the multitude of calls on MF.com for Tony McGahan to go? I'm interested in your take on it. My take is that anybody calling for the head coach to quit is misguided. Munster lost by 4 points away to a team they rarely win against on the road. They did so without their star back (Keith Earls), Lions hooker (Jerry Flannery), starting tighthead (Tony Buckley) and captain and talisman (Paul O'Connell). McGahan is in the throes of a major rebuilding of the squad due to, to be blunt, lots of over the hill players nearing the end of their career yet he's still qualified for three major semi finals and won a trophy in the 4 tournaments he's participated in. He's also overseen the successful Munster A squad who lost the B&I Cup final last year. People are right to question the appalling Laurie Fisher (surely Anthony Foley is a much better option) but the head coach is doing an excellent job in difficult circumstances. I'll put it this way- I would have had no problem if Leinster replaced Michael Cheika with the incumbent Munster coach at the end of last season. [/QUOTE]
