what makes you say that?

Lack of success/experience as a head coach. I dunno, why are we bothering with these third rate foreigners? I get it if we are getting top level guys but if we're mucking round with these punters why not give one of our own some experience. At least some NZ coaches and the NZ coaching fraternity woulc get something out of it instead of another person just passing through. 

But what NZ coach? Ramon is the only guy that comes close. But he seems offside with NZF, and I also have doubts our very top players may respect a coach coming from an amateur league. This is the AWs not age group stuff. Many of the top AWs players would know squat about the domestic NZamateur scene.

Have no idea how Schmid will go, but he is better credentialed than any NZ coach. As long as Schmid and Heraf also have a plan, to ‘upskill’ the best up and coming NZ coaches in the next 4 years, then plan is sound. I think appointments of Greenacre and Figueria as assistants shows that is the agenda. Hope it works out.
