you would have to think that after this - Mitchell's Coaching career is going to be pretty much done. No administrators are going to want to employ a coach that cant work with the playing group.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
I think you will find that he had similar troubles at Sale and was removed by Clive Woodward from the England assistant job too.
The end of the Mitchell style of coaching came when change rooms started smelling more of hair product than Dencorub.

Gotta admit I maybe have the same trouble "getting" the Gen Y's at my workplace. Perhaps Dingo is more adaptable and JO'N has become more flexible. Easier to be flexible with a lack of backbone.

All I can say is we played a more exhilarating fast passionate attacking style that enthralled the crowd, and managed to finish above ALL of the other Aus teams, and won away in both SA and NZ under Mitchell.
I'm not a player, never met the man, didn't have to deal with him on any basis let alone daily, but I liked him and was appalled at the treatment he got.
I know it has ended the same way at ABs Force and Lions so he's the common denominator, I just can't understand it.
