He is better than Laxman as a coach.

Regardless of whether this turns out to be the case with this particular guy, here is the point that Indian cricket fans and admin need to see:

 

Great player does not equate to great coach. Mediocre or unknown player does not equate to mediocre of bad coach. Coaching abilities should be independently evaluated from player-achievements.  The superstar fawning culture needs to be trashed.

 

As an analogy from my field of work - almost always, star research-scientists are terrible teachers. They may be able to provide sporadic guidance and expertise to a few supremely-talented youngsters, but lack the patience and empathy to teach and mentor most people.

That may be true only because Laxman is a dud. In the finals of Emerging cup we fed 35 overs of non stop pie chucking spin to Tayyab Tahir. The coach could have given some input to bring on the pacers. Think tank along with the captain seemed tactically inept.

That's my point. Laxman is so meh as a coach that almost anyone seems better.

Another issue regarding a majority of past Indian cricketers is that they have operated all their lives in an environment of respect your seniors irrespective of quality, fawn over superstars and believe in medium pacers ... and have imbibed these beliefs to their core. 

 

And these beliefs are not conducive to team success. 

 

There are obviously exceptions and not all Indian past cricketers believe in them. 

 

But Laxman seems like a classic example .
