Update
Chris has a vast background, and AJ wanted a fresh face appointed to QF. AJ is not happy with the past 12 months publicity so wanted fresh blood brought in. QF will bring more Engineering back into AUS, and some other 'initiatives' that are yet to be unveiled. If Chris doesnt oversight the changes effectively he will be punted, and quite easily, due to him being an 'outsider'. Its way too early to tell whether Chris will 'make the grade' or fall like a cheap deck of cards, like Mr Cox.He is reputedly a marginally better performer than Cox, and also has more of a safety focus, which AJ is pushing presently.
Heck, if he is a success,he may even don a white outfit and sing with the choir !!
Time will tell folks, lets let the dust settle.
