Remember clips of him in the coach's box, like a jack-in a box & definitely not poker faced. More like heart attack material. Good coach, but we never had the abundance of talent in his era.

Meyer startede is caching career as SWD coach in George and from there went to the Bulls where he did a good job for the Bulls. But h e was a failure as Springbok coach and ended up coaching the Dallas team in the USA .
The news is out that Meyer is trying to get a job with South Western Districts Rugby in George - and my first idea is that the area is a center for producing school boy rugby by having at least four prominent rugby schools, So much good can be done as to promotion of rugby in the area. and last year was in the draw of the top 8 teams competing in CC rugby.
He is a nice person - but his coaching was questionable because of his using people after their retirement to play for the Springboks. He was not a good coach because he refise to use he scientific performance evaluation program developed to didentify squad selection and ended up wit a vey poor RWC squad in 2015. A better coach than De Villiers and Coetzee - but a failure in the coaching of S tatde Francais.
I hope h e gets the job in George anyway,
