Jones says he has had lots of conversations so far with McFarland, who is currently working for Kobelco Kobe Steelers in Japan.<\/p>\n
But the interim head coach is looking forward to how the new coaching team will come up with a blueprint for the new Newcastle.<\/p>\n
“When we get together as a coaching group, that’ll be exciting,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We’ll be discussing concepts on how we want to play, what’s our DNA, what’s this club’s identity and how we can best bring that together.<\/p>\n
“There are lots of pieces of the puzzle that when we connect, we’ve got to make sure we’re clear on our vision and our alignment.” <\/p>\n
Before then, Newcastle have four games left of The Prem season, starting with the visit of Harlequins on Sunday (15:00 BST).<\/p>\n
Red Bulls have lost all four of Jones’ league games in charge as they sit bottom of the table, nine points adrift of Quins.<\/p>\n
The former Wales and British and Irish Lions fly-half says there have been improvements in the six weeks he has been in charge since replacing Alan Dickens<\/a>, but a second league win of the season would change the narrative.<\/p>\n And Newcastle have a favorable fixture list with only one of their games coming against a top-six club. <\/p>\n “We can look at statistics and we can see improvement, but professional sport is all about winning,” said Jones.<\/p>\n “We’re desperate for that win. We can talk things up that we’re making improvements – which we are from a statistical point of view – but the most important thing is winning and we want a ‘W’ as soon as we can. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
