Bulls mentor Jake White said he would also be willing to"walk away" if he were not the right person to coach the team.
Bulls director of rugby Jake White said Edgar Marutlulle was"relieved" after being demoted back down to the Blue Bulls juniors and that he would also be willing to"walk away" if he was not the right person to coach the team. White took over the Blue Bulls’ loss to Western Province and oversaw six defeats in European competitions on the trot. But the former Springbok World Cup-winning coach said the decision to demote Marutlulle wasn’t a sign of panic."It’s making decisions in the best interests of everybody.
"And that’s not an excuse - it’s just the lay of the land. We had a very tough two months over the Christmas period in terms of fixtures – playing the Sharks and Stormers, then Exeter and Lyon. "If we don’t do anything and the guy has a nervous breakdown or doesn’t handle the pressure and doesn’t take it well and gets personal attacks, people will ask me: 'Why didn’t you come in and help the guy?'
"It’s a very tough environment. He’s done well. He won the [SA Rugby] Under-19 tournament and the Under-20 last year as an assistant coach.
