Quins consider Richards successor

Evans and Harlequins avoided expulsion from the Heineken Cup

Harlequins chief executive Mark Evans says the club have received several inquiries about the vacant director of rugby role at the Stoop.

"We are searching. We are talking to a few people and we've had quite a few approaches," said Evans.

Dean Richards resigned from the post in August after admitting orchestrating the use of fake blood in last season's Heineken Cup quarter-final.

Former Wasps director of rugby Ian McGeechan has been linked with the job.

The 62-year-old, who coached the British and Irish Lions on their tour of South Africa this summer, refused to be drawn on whether the role could tempt him back into the game when interviewed in August.

Evans has remained similarly cagey despite Quins' failure to register a win in their first four Premiership games this season.

"We are moving on. We're not talking about anyone who is or isn't in the frame," he told BBC Sport.

"We have only just started the process but will look at all the suitable candidates and Ian McGeechan has got a terrific track record.

"But we spent a lot of time getting the job specification together and looking at different structures and are just about to go out and talk to a few people."

Evans insists that Richards' successor will work with the existing coaching staff led by John Kingston, and hopes to avoid resorting to an overseas appointment.

"If you put your ideal person there, he would probably have experience of the English game. We've got a lot of English players," he said.

"We have very experienced coaches. John has been in the game since it went professional, and before it. Technically, he's excellent, and the players like him.

"Colin Osborne has been at the club for 15 years, in various different roles. He's a super attack coach.

"And Tony Diprose has got a great rugby brain - he is going to be an exceptional coach. He's got a great future in the game."

Evans also said that he "wouldn't be surprised" if the club made an appointment before Christmas.
