That Jennings guy is absolutely crazy! These are the stuff I could dig up about him. (There may be more)
1. There were allegations that he offered money to bowlers to inflict injury on Allan Donald by means of aggressive bowling.
2. He punishes wayward bowlers by ordering them to run laps around the ground
3. He reckons replacing players' energy drinks with water will make their passion burn brighter on the field
4. He demands total control of his teams
5. He moved the fridge out of the changing room and made his players drink warm
fluids.
6. He says stuff like this: "If the players expect soft drinks, I will make sure there are none...They will go to a tap and get on their knees and drink water until they realise that it is an honour to play for South Africa."
7. And this: "He told reporters that he was not going to be a touchy-feely coach and that if his players needed "a good kick up the backside" then that's what they will get. "
8. The south african players hated his guts

I personally would hate to see this guy coach our side, but to be fair - performance-wise, hes done a bit to be proud of. He turned South African league team The Easterns around. He didnt do too bad with SA either
