A tricky one because there is an argument that he does okay.

At the start of his tenure, he did well. Recently, he hasn't.

On the other hand, he has brought the best out of Westerman, Reece Lynn has ended up in the England squad under his tenure, and the players seem to like him. Rocky has probably played his best rugby under Chester.

If there is any fault, it is perhaps too much dependency on players who were once good but not quite what they were as well as not getting an established spine. For me, I'd rather see a bit of a clear-out of the Dad's Army and see some young blood than chance our arm with a new coach. The squad would be the same. Would a new coach get more from what we have? Chester and some up and coming talent might be a better option. The alternatives to Chester are a new coach with what we have or a clear-out AND a new coach. I'm not sure either option is great. The former may be unwise and the latter is too big a gamble.

I currently cannot attend games but does this performance suggest that Chester deserves a new contract at this stage of the season. I said this was a chance for redemption but despite the victory the performance still appears to be well below what a club requires to sell the product.
I presume PT will be able to enlighten me why I should have faith that Chester knows what he is doing.
