As far as Tony Smith joining to be Director of Rugby is concerned, isn't that Kris Radlinski's job? His official title is 'Rugby Director'. What would that job be if not 'director of rugby'?
Assuming Radlinski's role isn't going to change the last thing we need is another cook to spoil the broth and go over the head of the coach.
If Lam is the right man for the job he won't need someone else to be brought in to work alongside him, he'll just work as our previous coaches have done. If the club don't think he can succeed then they should bring in someone who they think can.
I’m not sure I could disagree with that last paragraph any more than I do.
Every club, in every sport changes their head coach at some point. In the vast majority of cases, they build a team around them according to their strengths. Shaun Wane had Deacon and Harris to help improve our attack. He brought in Charlie Hodgson to improve our kicking etc.
I have no doubts that Lammy is the right man to lead us from the top and part of that is trusting him to build the coaching team as well as the paying team.
Using your philosophy, no club would ever need assistant coaches!
