There was a long article about coaches losing the dressing room in sport - various coaches and codes of sport were mentioned in the article in which it was clearly stated that Coetzee lost the dressing room.
That created a very serious deficiency from a psychological perspective.    Players do not believe the talk and the game plan of the coach - there is no team leadership with Coetzee retaining Strauss as captain after the latter indicated his retirement - they find no leadership from the senior players in the team who also became disheartened in the process - they underperform and is careless in execution.
I think a major problem is that Coetzee will for financial reasons be kept on as coach  - but that will just cause even worse performances by players - since there is no chance that he will find the lost dressing room - it just does not happen in reality in sport.

 Well let's see. Suppose Coetzee has a two million Rand contract......suppose a seat is worth R20 a pop to SARugby. That means you need 100000 extra bottoms to break even. The Boks play 8 matches at home, so 12000 or so additional bottoms a home game breaks even. Success versus failure has to be worth something like that. And that doesn't even take into account better sponsorships, TV rights and anything they get from other sources like merchandise. It's a no brainer....the real numbers need to be inputed, but the economic decision is deep six this guy. And the above argument doesn't even take into account the carry over effect of his tarnishing the brand on future revenues.
