Edinburgh have promoted backs coach Rob Moffat to the position of Head Coach, filling the vacancy left by Andy Robinson’s move to the national position.
Moffat seems to have done a pretty decent job with the Edinburgh backs, but is probably a journeyman appointment rather than the “oh, wow/really?” appointment of Robinson a couple of years ago. We of course wish him all the best in the job and hope he can take Edinburgh to greater heights or at the very least preserve their level of performance.
Other candidates known to have been up for the job were former Scotland front row merchants George Graham and Peter Wright, and I suppose it is a possibility that Wright may wish to make a move into the pro game as a forwards coach. Graham already has a head coaching job in Italy so I would think it unlikely he’d be interested in the lesser job. Moffat’s backroom appointments will be made in due course.
