I think McNamara is a poor coach but I like some of the ideas he out forward and put in place.
The England knights is a very good idea if used properly for the youth players that are on the brink of the England team.
The England squad meet up more than they did with other coaches which is needed. We can't expect players just to slot into a team that only meet two weeks before the comp.
The exiles was another good idea but it seems to have run it's course now. The idea of having a few competitive games is good but now to many players are dropping out, it changed to a one game series and the fans look bored of it already. The idea was good tho.
Maybe the is a job for him in the England set up but not coaching the team.

I dont disagree with that. He seems like a capable administrator, so if they want to have someone at the RFL doing the job of putting systems in place and running the performance management activity then I am sure he would be capable at that. Then bring in a proper coach for the actual coaching side of things.
