Screams to me WCC couldn't get a US-based coach. I heard WCC expected coaches would be throwing themselves at them for the job, but that didn't happen.

Curious how this all shakes out in the end. With the Landis gone and Simone not returning any time soon, I imagine the endless stream of transfers to WCC is over. And given their abysmal track record of developing their own elites, I can't imagine there's any juniors waiting in the wings for them.
 
Looks like Laurent and julliete might be moving to be closer to Cecile.

I wonder if coaching a whole team of elites wasn't that appealing for many coaches. I could see a lot of elite coaches preferring to stay somewhere where there are only 1-2 top prospects so they aren't stretched as thin.

That said, I don't expect the size of the WCC elite pool to be as big moving forward so that probably won't be an issue.
 
Daymon is American and he tried WOGA for a couple of months 2 years ago so it's actually not that surprising.
I don't think any high profile US coaches besides Jantzi were available. And you'd want someone used to coaching larger elite teams. Having to replace two coaches surely did not make it easier either - two people used to working together make more sense. So they are quite the logical choice actually - it will be interesting to see whether it will work out.
