Surely they could have waited until after the 2 wasps games to announce it

Sure Eddie only lives up the road, LAM had a another year to go on his contract, we must have received a sweetener from Bristol to allow him leave early

Yeah I've heard that as well Nigel likes what he's doing.

If he does step up the search for academy coach will be interesting as a lot of our recent success I'd down to Nigel and his team.

Definitely think Carolan deserves a shot, but from what I have heard, he ;loves working with the academy

Not at all sure about Jackman as head coach. Grenoble have flattered only to deceive under him.

Who else is available? Ben Ryan? Maybe Robbie Deans would like to coach real rugby again?

Yep, announced on BBC 5Live here that he's signed as Head Coach for Bristol.

What a crap start to the week.

Thank you for everything, Pat - whoever comes in will be standing on the shoulders of giants.

Ditto on Jackman. First name that entered my head when one of the guys at work told me Lam was going even though Grenoble are having a nightmare this season. Best of luck for the future Pat.
