[QUOTE="User1245, post: 316237, member: 40986"] I can't find the two articles I saw yesterday but basically one said that SARU will be meeting with the Lions management to discuss plans and the other said that previous ex-Lions players who played through their golden era in the mid 90's, like Kobus Wiese and Hennie le Roux, were offering to be technical advisors. The Lions have been bad for ages now, but this year has been worse, and I blame Muir for the most part. He simply can't be head coach of a team. His management decisions baffle me. For example during the Sharks 2008 campaign there was some crazy stat that no player played in a position 3 times in a row. He had a weird belief that all backs should be utility backs, just in case. And in the 2007 S14 final he takes off players like Smit with 5 mins to go, I mean, really! And we all know what happened there. As a back coach, sure he's actually pretty good, look how good the Boks backs were in the Tri-Nations. But take away his ability to manage and select players! The fact that he keeps on choosing Spencer should be case in point! [/QUOTE]
