Not terribly surprising.
Not sure about his "promising coaching carrer" didn't they see our defence last season?
Oh well, best of luck Minty, legend as a player, think he would have been better off going elsewhere, down the leauges probably, to earn his coaching spurs first.
He had been coaching at Esher (I think?) for a couple of years before hanging up his boots. I think he was rushed a bit too quickly up into Premiership level. Give him a few more years at Nat1 & Championship level to develop & I reckon he'll become a coach in demand, just not yet.
