Less than three years ago, Eddie Jones led England to the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.
Now, the head coaches with supporters is at an all-time low with fans calling for him to resign. How did it come to this?
#1. Results
The bread and butter for any coach in any sport. Most of the problems people have with the England head coach bubbled beneath the surface when the side was consistently winning.
However, following five defeats in their last seven and back-to-back awful Six Nations campaigns, that armour is well and truly off the Aussie.
#2. Antagonistic personality
He's always loved a skirmish in the media, but it's become tiresome, ultimately losing its effect. It's now like listening to your Grandad shout at the news on the TV. Boring.
#3. Baffling squads
Jones has a strange habit of leaving out whoever wins the Premiership Player of the Year award with Saracens outstanding flanker Ben Earl being the latest victim.
It's simple, pick your best players Eddie!
#4. His love of other roles
As well as openly declaring his interest in the Racing 92 lately, he has held roles across the world with the likes of Japanese side Suntory Goliath and American franchise San Diego Legion despite being the highest-paid coach in World Rugby to lead England.
#5. Incoherent selection
Six years is plenty of time to become accustomed to the contradictions of Jones. Still, the selection of George Furbank over Max Malins during the Six Nations was difficult to understand. Just look at the team he's picked for this weekend.
Is there any logic to this madness?

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
