Possibly something to do with them living in London.
For what it's worth, Faz and Edwards are regularly seen at Wigan as well.

Faz and Edwards live in the london area and Offiah is an agent some of the quins players so is seen at reserves games too. Doesnt mean they are next in line for a job. They just love watching the game like we do...

Now that is far too sensible a post to be on here! Recant immediately!
You'll be saying next that 2+2 really doesn't make 5

Well Edwards was a Rugby League player and is now Rugby Union coach. Change can happen.

But Edwards wasn't new to Rugby Union. He'd played it at a reasonably high level in his youth.
Besides, I don't think that, just because one man has made the switch successfully, others will do the same. Look at the players who've failed to cut it when they've switched codes. It's happened both ways, and it's happened a lot. Probably more have failed than have succeeded.
Don't get me wrong. I'd be interested to see Eddie Jones involved with Wigan at some level, but I don't think he could possibly be appointed head coach straight away.

| I thought Eddie Jones had been a Rugby League coach in the distant past.
Can't see him being head coach after so long out of the game.
Same as before, Director of Rugby, Noble head coach and Faz as his assistant

| Eddie Jones is a class operator in RU with a solid CV. How that would work in RL with Noble as well, I can't see it.
These situations where you bring in a "Director of Rugby" or something similar always seem to end in tears in RL, RU and football more often than not.
As for Faz, it goes without saying that I along with most people on here would love to see him back at Wigan in some capacity. His lad's doing well for Sarries and Faz is respected in RU for his leadership skills despite not quite having done it playing wise.

Eddie Jones has far more exposure to League than Edwards did to Union. Jones was the chief point of contact for the ARU when they were targeting NRL players, he is widley credited with stealing ideas from League and incorporating them in union, i think he may even have his coaching badges from Australia, he is a massive fan and student of the game.
That being said could he or should he come to the biggest league club in the world and walk into the head coach position, never. The only possible chance is if he were to bring in a strong experienced and well respected number 2, which i where i guess the Faz links comes.

That's something I didn't know, and would definitely put a different complexion on things.
