Heyneke steps down

Heyneke steps down

30 Jun 2006

Heyneke Meyer will step down as coach of the Blue Bulls following the Absa Currie Cup match against the Lions on Saturday.

Meyer’s position as hands on coach of the Blue Bulls will go to current assistant coach Pote Human as of next week. This was announced by the Blue Bulls on Friday.

They released a statement on Friday afternoon, saying: “The BBC (Blue Bulls Company), along with its shareholders, are considering several steps to afford Heyneke Meyer ample opportunity to place coaching in the Union on a better footing and in so doing ensure the success of the Blue Bulls in all structures and competitions, with specific focus on the Super 14.”

“All options will be considered in the coming weeks and will then be presented at the Union Meeting of 11 July and then to the Board of the Company for finalization.

“During this period, Pote Human, under the guidance of Heyneke Meyer, will take responsibility for the preparation of the Currie Cup side.”

Meyer was unavailable for comment.

    Not entirely true St Pete.
    Pote has been involved with coaching for quite a while now, he just received less attention and publicity.

    Any coach would have achieved what De Villiers did with the players he had.
    Let him take a small province and turn them into winners before i will really rate him.

    Was Pote at a small union as well beforehand?

    Nope, don’t think so….club rugby, same as DeVilliers was, except that I understand DeVilliers won the league in the region he was involved with.

    Jake is the best man for the job, but i am getting seriously pissed off with him.
    We all have seen that Jaco is not the man for the job, but White persist. It is too late now to experiment and he will not admit that he was wrong.
    De Waal, Bosman and Steyn would not have done worse. Why did he not try Ruan at flyhalf for a few minutes?
    The same goes for this fetcher issue.
    If he doesnt wake fast and drop his teacher mentality, it is going to cost us dearly.

    So why would you have a problem with DeVilliers getting the job then?

    He is known,rated and already probably knows most of the Bulls players who he has already worked with at age group level.

    See….Steyn,Habana,Olivier,Delport,Spies,etc…..

    Agreed some of the selections in that match were bizzare…….but he has made some good ones in the past.

    He always played Olivier and Habana together in the centers.

    St Pete,
    We should have won that game.
    I had to watch the game with 2 grinning frogs,
    after we lost the previous day as well.
    Pain, broer, pyn.

    Tell you what St.P. I will support the Bulls this afternoon. Seems like it will be mass suicide in Tswane (and Russia) if the Blue one’s lose. And we wouldn’t want that…

    Grrrr……
    As I already stated on a previous thread.
    The Lions will probably win this one. There’s nothing at stake, probably a kak crowd at Ellis with most of the Bok players away.

    The Bulls stick to beating the Lions when it counts, CC final ’02,semi-final 04 and ’05, etc,etc….

    After the Sharks, the Lions are the 2nd biggest chokers.

    St P
    one seriaaas question, how come the loyal bulletjie spectators don’t take over Ellis on days like these?

    You’ve got a large group of loyal spectators.
    You’ve got the strongest squad out of all.
    You don’t excalty need passposts to nip across the Jukskei for a bit of afternoon donnering.

    Quite frankly Sarky

    I’d build one huge 90000 seater stadium midway between Jo’burg and Pretoors in a far safer and accessable enviroment with planned parking and public transport.

    Share the stadium between the sides.Local derbies would be fantastic.Could become SA’s “National Stadium”….ala Twickenham at altitude.

    Half the expenses….twice the income.

    Meyer was well known before he took over the Bulls: coach of SWD, assistant Stormers (forwards) coach in 1999 and assistant Bok (forwards) coach 1999.

    De Villiers is a great coach and does not need to prove anything to anyone on this board.
