Should Declan Kidney coach Ireland?

Question

as a munster fan i hope he stays.... but i cant think of a better replacement for EOS

Answer 1

No!

Personally, I think Michael Cheika would be better.

Answer 2

Eddie O's contract was due to end after this years 6N. Just before RWC 07, EOS negotiated a 4 year contract. That means that to get rid of him now would cost the IRFU something up to the tune of £600,000 can they afford that amount?

he will not (IMO) resign under any circumstances, so they are going to have to sack him and go to court, or negotiate a settlement. My guess is it would cost them £300k and he would be allowed to coach immediately. They save 2 yrs money, he is not denied being able to coach for 4 years , which they could demend if they pay him in full as he would effectively be told to work his contract out at home, effectively ending his time as a top flight coach having been out of the game for over 3 years
