Robert: As a long-suffering Edinburgh season ticket holder, I just see another two years of underperforming. Edinburgh have been woefully inconsistent in recent seasons and show nothing under the current coach to suggest changing that trend. Jamie: I'd rather have Kenny Murray than Everitt.
We asked for your views head coach on Sean Everitt signing a two-year contract extension with Edinburgh.
Here's what some of you said:
Matthew: Controversial I think. Very mixed views on it as I don't see us making progress under him. But if he stays, he needs a new coaching set-up and players need to be sold because we just aren't good enough. I'm willing to see how it goes but unless things drastically improve, I don't see many changes and can see a drastic fall in season-ticket sales for next season.
Robert: As a long-suffering Edinburgh season ticket holder, I just see another two years of underperforming. The contrast with Glasgow is stark.
Ali: What an uninspiring appointment. Edinburgh have been woefully inconsistent in recent seasons and show nothing under the current coach to suggest changing that trend. It was the perfect chance to install a new coach. A club legend like Roddy Grant would have won back a lot of supporters, I've yet to hear a positive opinion on the announcement.
Jamie: I'd rather have Kenny Murray than Everitt. Giving him a two-year extension might be the biggest laugh of all. I'm going to need to drink a lot of Irn-Bru to see the upside on this. I thought bringing in David Nucifora might bring a harder, no nonsense, results-driven mantra but with only two professional teams, Edinburgh have adopted Jason Donovan's new revamped musical, 'Any team will do'. Pathetic.
Stair: Shocked! I was looking forward to the introduction of our new coaching team in a few months. A prime example of promotion beyond ability.
Andy: Not the news I was hoping to read. Another two years of inconsistent rugby with no plan, no excitement and mid to low table places coming up I'm afraid. He has done absolutely nothing to deserve this contract other than nod his head when told by SRU to promote players who are either not prepared for professional rugby or simply not good enough.
David: Oh. I feel the same sense of deflation as when I didn't get the exam result I was hoping for. He's got a lot to prove. I realise he's not the entire cause (looking at you, players) but he's clearly not the man to galvanise the team and, at times, doesn't appear to have a plan let alone a strategy.
