Mad stuff....shocked by this....
The craggy podcast were discussing today that the squad were still facing into 3 weeks of training before they broke up for the summer break/international duty. And that this would be in essence a pre pre season....
This is going to make these 3 weeks pointless.

I agree totally performance's fell off a cliff since Christmas he had lost the dressing room he had to go. Saturday was all for Mul and what a send off the
players gave him.

By all accounts it’s not a results based decision, other suggestions that all was not well in the camp would seem to be true.
Atmosphere in the camp from not just players made it a tough environment to work in.
I think Connacht felt they had to lance the boil rather than let it fester.
Courage is knowing what lies on the other side and still opening the door.

Let's not. He won't be available for pre-season so he'd be as hamstrung as Keane was, and if he's any way useful he'll be off to Munster before you can say Stand Up and Fight.

Sure he said he has no interest In managing Munster and knows the banter is better in Galway .... a cockerill type of appointment might be the right job

Not for me he is as just as much to answer for as KK . He was the backs coach in a misfiring back line so no thank you

He's previously said he's not interested in the head job so it would only be under duress I imagine.

Good point that. We finished 11th overall but the attack (9th in tries/points scored) was a lot closer to matching our league position than the defence (6th or 7th best depending on whether you're looking at tries or points).

Can't believe I'm the first to suggest it, but Eddie O'Sullivan lives just down the road.

Kieran Crowley is coming to the end of a two year contract with Benneton but has an option of extending it by another two. If he hasn't yet signed that extension he'd be a very desirable option. Robbie Deans, Rob Penney and Tony Brown (Assistant to Jamie Joseph) could probably be coaxed out of oblivion in Japan.

The Words Frying Pan and Fire come straight to mind. The guys address cannot be a criteria for the job. Ask yourself why it seems clear he's never even been considered when positions became vacant at Leinster, Munster and Ulster or before the appointments of Lam and KK. We cannot afford another mistake or all the great work done under Lam's tenure will all be undone.

But he doesn't live down the road from Leinster, Munster and Ulster.
