It depends on whether one thinks brain power or mouth power is the answer. For me, the former wins hands down, we must agree to differ here.

now that is revisionism bordering on a simplistic crock of SteveWalsh. Lineen like him or not spent how many years coaching a jamesmatthew Glasgow. What he might have had some input to was building the culture at Glasgow, the underdog, underfunded and not the favoured child of the SRU; while nurturing the narrative that Edinburgh went soft under the noses of national coaches who favoured them.
The solution is to get away from Murrayfield and team Scotland, to build an identity, Edinburgh Rugby's own identity. That does not come quickly or easily - and it takes brains rather than a shouty mouth who has proved he can do exactly the opposite -as Leicester DoR Cockerill has pretty effectively run down a proper club; such success as he has had is all down to legacy and money, lots of money. Edinburgh need a modern coach with a brain not a dinosaur with at best a dead cat bounce

when Lineen became Head Coach Glasgow had finished last; then had a few reasonable seasons with some progress but in his penultimate season they finished 11th. He got them to a play off in his last season by which time the decision to remove him based on that 11th had already been made. He under achieved at Glasgow and had lost players due to his "style". Kellock was the driver of the Glasgow "culture", not Lineen

I hope I'm wrong but I can't get past Cockerill Mr Angry persona. Who will leave this time Nel, Toolis, Bradbury or Hoyland?
Q Why do you have such a thing for Cockerill and are you Scott Johnson in disguise?
