Agreed. His pedigree is good and I want to see if the vaunted SUFC system can succeed at Soup level.

Jakes a pretty decent fella from all accounts, maybe his sick or has sick family.. or possible been offered an international job.. Lets wait and see...
Now who can be coach we so far have the following listed.
Robbie Deans
Todd Louden
**Laurie Fisher
** Bernie Larkham
I would throw out as well that George Gregan is now available to coach as his not on the ARU Board any more ?
Who do you think.. Best Luck to Jake, Thanks for the great work... Hope Poecock aint cranky !!

If he is leaving for the reason reported (that he missed out on the Wallaby job), I think it validates the ARU's decision not to pick him as coach.
There was talk months ago that White was seeking Australian citizenship and still hoped to coach the wallabies after Mckenzie. If that was the case I would have loved for him to be coach because he would have demonstrated through his actions that he was here for the right reasons.
I think his actions since show he isn't worthy of the honour.
But I'd like to hear Whites side of the story as well.

We tried that with JOC (James O'Connor). It's no fun
I've finished with my lynching coat for the time being so anyone can borrow it but think I'll need it back soon for the various State and national Junior Rugby Unions.

Sad news for Aus Rugby. Jake was doing an excellent job at the Brumbies but now there will always be the feeling of a project half complete. New coach will take the Brums in their own direction for better or worse.
Will be interesting to see where Jake goes. One thing that can't be denied is that up until his announcement he did a lot for Aus rugby and the Brumbies in particular.

Yeah life would suck if you got lumped with only one of the most successful Super Rugby coaches.
You could do a lot worse. Like Pieter de Villiers. Or Richard Graham.
The players would have had no idea this was coming since they're all over the place with Wallabies and off-season holidays.
Imagine some are pissed off.

Does anybody else find the reports that this is linked to him being upset about being overlooked for the Wallabies role very odd?
That's essentially saying he's leaving, because he missed out on the job that he would have left for anyway... Must be more to it.

Plot twist - he takes over in Argentina, brings in MacQueen as an assistant, the team of Jake White, Graham Henry and Rod MacQueen win the 2015 RWC with Argentina.
But in all seriousness this is terrible.

Train Without a Station I'm thinking homesick. Every break he has had he has gone to South Africa.
