Matt Banahan leaves role, effective immediately, concerningly close to the RWC. An offer "closer to home was too good to turn down"

Shame he couldn't request joining after the cup

I can speak to this as being in this near exact position...

There is no money (or I should more accurately say was) in womens rugby below head coach. They would have covered his costs with a stipend. When an actual job pops up you can't afford not to take it.

Womens rugby is in a strange state, that it offers a platform and some notoriety to young coaches in the media, helping their public profile, but doesn't have the money for long term careers.
