Ian McGeechan has ruled himself out as coach of the British and Irish Lions when the Lions tour to Australia in 2013 just months after coaching the Lions to their first Test victory since 2001.McGeechan is often referred to as Mr. Lions after having toured with them as coach or player seven times.
"I cannot have such an involvement again," McGeechan told the Daily Express.
"Generally you coach the Lions only once and that makes it a great opportunity for coaches as well as players."
"But I’ve been head coach four times already, plus the other tours. If I were to go for an eighth time I think I would be pretty greedy."
Perhaps this will open the door for Gatland and Edwards who were part of the coaching team for the 2009 tour.
