If only there were someone who was responsible for professional coach development and succession planning.

I see the sarcasm in the post but actually want to know whose job that is?

Its the job of the IRFU High Performance Director, one David Nucifora.

So are we spinning this as "Tobin legged it at short notice because of the rumoured developing rift between Black Dave and the province of Leinster"

Which might be true or might be total boll1x or anywhere in between.

Really ? It explains a lot... Lucifora. .. abandon all hope all here... but seriously that doesn't look good

[simonokeeffe]

If any S & C coach was going to leg it because of Nucifora youd think itd be the guy at Ulster who now has to work with Rodney Ah You

Not at all, just pointing out that elite level coaches and their replacements are his responsibility.

I know I said that could be a positive move for all concerned but his fitness has gone so far backwards since it was announced (and was obviously very poor already) that I've abandoned all hope of it working it out. It's embarrassing.

Ive probably angered mocker gods into making Rodney score the match winning try against us in pro12 final

So much raw material to work with . . . growing by the week even . . .

That's another one of the winning backroom disappeared over the hill.

If only we could spend all this money the IRFU are supposedly giving us, to replace what has been lost.

If only this happened a year ago! What if Cullen was moved to the forwards and Mike given the top job? I'm sure he won't be short of offers.

While Bath play nice rugby, they've an enormous budget and Ford strikes me as a bit of a tool all told, plus he's won sweet FA with them.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Not sure why people think he could help our coaches given the position we finished in and the season he had.

[Dave Cahill]

The thing he's best at is where our coaching team is strongest
