Of the 12 teams in the Premiership, one is without a DoR, three are from the Southern Hemisphere, London Irish have an Irish coach (but that is to be expected), so the options would be

Baxter
Blackett
Borthwick
Hooper
Richards
Sanderson
Skivington

Only Richards and Baxter have enough experience - which is a short shortlist.

(No disrespect to the Championship intended!)

Can't see that happening with Gatland in charge. I've not looked at the article but I guess Itoje will be in, Watson maybe, May maybe. I wouldn't pick any of the rest

You could of course have Andy Farrell and Shaun Edwards.

Unless that meant that Owen Farrell was always picked Confused

If available to England, I would have no hesitation in bringing in Farrell and Edwards.

Why has Edwards never been given a coaching job with England - did wonders at Wales and any person that can get the French organised in defence must be good.

I can only conclude it is his RL background? (Which probably excludes Farrell as well!

That was a poor end to a bitterly disappointing season from England. Out of 5 games we’ve played one and a half games of decent rugby. We were excellent against France and we were decent in the middle 40 minutes of the Welsh game. Apart from that there are very few positives from an English perspective. Our pack looked laboured throughout the championship, we couldn’t get any forward momentum at all and our ball carrying has really lacked any dynamism. The discipline has been atrocious in every match and our back play has lacked any cutting edge, at times it has reminded me of the Andy Robinson era. 

Also our game-plan looks so pre-ordained. Why when we were 26-6 down yesterday were we still aimlessly kicking the ball away?. Are the players scared to try things just in case it goes wrong. It seems to me like the flair has been coached out of certain players. This low-risk, playing the percentages type game is getting us nowhere and it won’t ever get us to where we need to be. 

So we finish 5th and deservedly so. Changes need to be made. Either Jones gets rid of some of these players and changes the style of play or he goes himself.

In a recent interview Edwards said England have only approached him once. This was when he was at Wasps and his brother had just died in a car crash. Edwards was not in a good place personally and England were too short sighted to make any compromise, so Edwards said no thanks.
Later, when Wales came calling he was in a position to properly consider moving into International RU and was a great success.

They probably did it without raping grass roots rugby of funding too....

I would love to see an England team who all had less that 5 caps each I have to say bar 3 or 4 positions it would be an easy pick

Crikey are people really suggesting Andy Farrell?

Ireland are underperforming as much as England

Pat Lam might be an excellent choice. He has international experience with Scotland, Samoa and the islanders. He does seem to have made his home in England.
But, there was a cetain amount of jingoistic, "the next coach should be English."
Which is easy to say - but harder in practice.

Not on last Saturday's performance.

They also played really well against Wales despite an early red card.

A Farell/Edwards combination with a decent attack coach would be a good option IMO.
