You bring in consultants early in a coaches reign when things are bumpy. Maybe the head coach or assistants are a little inexperienced or need some outside perspective but you still believe in them. 

After that, maybe 1 season of results being below expectations you might change the assistant coaches. You still believe in the head coach but things need to change.

However, if after 2 - 3 seasons results are getting worse then the head coach has to go. He picks the team, sets the tactics and creates the team culture.

We sit here with Cash being the longest serving head coach of a major team in SA but his performance is the worst. Add to that, he took over the best team in SA that had not lost to another SA team in Super Rugby for several years and it looks terrible. Admittedly we were beginning to slide a bit under Swys but there is difference between - not quite as good - and our current state of finishing behind teams on half our budget and amateur facilities. Literally we are the worst team in the Currie Cup and in normal times we would be in a promotion/relegation battle and facing life in Div. 1. 

But Altmann Allers, Neville Jardin, Rudolf Straeuli and co think:  Cash in great and Cash must stay. Straeuli I get, where else can his son live his dream of being a pro rugby player despite no Craven week, no academy junior rugby or anything outside of Kearsney 1st Team? But Altmann...surely he cares about his investment...?

Dit en dat die Leeus so vrot is wie wil nou hier kom speel :D

Eish, administrators again fast asleep. Zak Burger, Eduan Keyter, Verity-Am, Gideon van der Merwe are all players that were available for recruitment. Even the Cheetahs are outbidding us for talent.
