[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 934908, member: 70871"] They have bigger fish to fry. There are many excellent head coaches (Azema, Mola, Sonnes, Labit, Travers). There is a slew of excellent technicians (Galthie), specialist coaches (Dal Maso) and upcoming coaching talent (Garbajosa) in Top 14. I’m not going to list them all. Look at the org chart of the bigger clubs. Toulouse, Stade Francais etc. have 20 people in their staff with a good mix of locals and foreigners. The talent pool is there. The union hasn’t tapped into that pool because they’re not very attractive. Look at Brunels’ assistants Ellissalde was out of work after being sacked from Toulouse, Bonnaire is a federal coach without previous coaching experience in pro rugby, Seb Bruno is on loan from his club Lyon. Hardly the stuff of legend. As a coaching unit they wouldn’t get hired in Top 14. Why is a highly rated scrum specialist like Marc Dal Maso working for Eddie Jones when he could be working for the FFR? It’s hard to see the incentive to coach a side ranked 10th vs prospects of le Bouclier and European ***les. These guys want to win silverware and they have a better chance to do that with their club. Noves sacking and the court proceedings are hardly a big incentive. Not to mention the FFR-LNR politics. On attrape pas des mouches avec du vinaigre... [/QUOTE]
