As far as learning curves go, Daryl Gibson has already travelled both a slippery slide and rapid ascent in his first season as a head coach.The step up to the top job at NSW Waratahs was never going to be easy given the way Michael Cheika had first transformed the franchise from Super Rugby laughing stock to hardened rugby outfit and then delivered a maiden Super Rugby title while instilling a style of play that was not just the talk of Australian rugby but also the nations ultra-competitive sporting market, too.Gibson may as well have been following Sinatra on stage.Adding to that was a swathe of new playing personnel, changes to the backroom staff, injuries to star Wallabies Bernard Foley and Kurtley Beale - and then some choice comments landed him in Eddie Jones crossfires prior to Englands arrival Down Under.Yeah, good question, Ive made plenty of mistakes this year and, I guess, from those things, thats good experience in the fact that Im learning from that, Gibson told ESPN earlier this week when asked about the step up to the top job.But Ive really enjoyed the role of the head coach. Its very different to an assistant. You probably do less coaching but a lot more managing and you can probably have a greater influence on the whole squad.I think one of the real positives is that weve managed a lot of change this year with Cheik leaving, we had to bring a number of support staff in and we lost 15 players to retirement or overseas and there was a lot of experience in that 15.So to manage and to make sure we stay true to the culture that we have set up here, its been a really big learning curve. And I think next year well see a similar sort of turnover and then go through a period of really nice stability in years to come.Gibson had access to his entire squad for the first time in a month earlier this week when the Waratahs Wallabies returned to Moore Park to begin preparations for the final three weeks of Super Rugbys regular season.Beaten 3-0 by Jones England, it hasnt taken long for the Wallabies to crash back to earth following their thrilling run to last years Rugby World Cup final.Luckily for those Waratahs involved the recent series whitewash, a Super Rugby season that still has a heartbeat will be a welcome distraction while Gibson has expressed surprise at their condition given the physical nature of the three Tests against England.Theyve come back very well, all with a real keen attitude to get playing again, he told ESPN.I guess coming off the disappointment of the Test series, they really want to get back and play. I expected them to be a bit more beat-up than what they were, but Im really pleasantly surprised that theyre keen to get into it and on that, just about all of them will play, or start, which is really positive.The Waratahs first assignment is also clearly the easiest of their closing three rounds given it comes against Japans Sunwolves.Being played in Tokyo, it is also just the Waratahs second overseas fixture - New Zealand excluded - after they had just one match in South Africa against the Stormers.And it should also afford them the opportunity to fine-tune a game plan that finally clicked in what was easily their best performance of the season - a 45-25 victory over the Chiefs in the final round of fixtures before the June Test window.Yeah, I think we tried, against the Crusaders, a week before [the Chiefs], to play quite a defensive game, to kick a lot more, and it really didnt suit us, Gibson said.We didnt play particularly well and we were well beaten. So against the Chiefs, we really went back to saying hey, this is the style of play that we really want to play against a team who we respect around a number of things.So really it was a case of well, if were going to progress in this competition, were going to do it in the way that we want to be known for and the style of play; thats very much using the ball positively, whether thats going through a team or going around the edges, and keeping the ball alive, continuity, combined with that go-forward and using our big forwards to rumble on.Following their Tokyo outing, the Waratahs return home to face the Hurricanes before heading offshore once more to tackle the Blues in Auckland.The state of Super Rugby ladder suggests that only one Australian team will reach the playoffs, and with the Brumbies -- who currently sit level on 34 points with NSW -- having a much easier run home, its likely Gibsons side will need three wins to reach a third straight postseason.But drawing on the learnings from 2014, when the Waratahs won nine straight to lift the title, Gibson knows the Waratahs will be primed for a crack at the finals if they can negotiate a tricky final three rounds.Back in 2014 we went on an amazing run, I think we won nine straight and we built a lot of momentum and a lot of belief out of quite a lot of adversity really, he told ESPN.We werent playing very good rugby in the early rounds and we struggled our way through; I think we came off a loss to the Force and then went on a winning run. So for us, and in my experience, coming into finals its all about momentum and getting really confident and positive about your play.I guess the challenge for us with the returning Wallabies is harnessing their energy and getting the best out of them while also the guys whove been holding the fort, so to speak, and making sure that they also carry the team.Whether they fall short in a quest for a third straight finals appearance, or record the three wins theyll likely need to progress and challenge for the title, Gibson has already endured a crash course in head coaching.More to that, its opened his eyes to the greater challenges at play in Australian rugby, specifically NSW, and what he needs to do if the Waratahs are to be perennial contenders under his reign.Well certainly part of our challenge here at NSW is to set up the pathways and systems so that we can have long-term success, he said.I think weve got a way to go, but were certainly growing and starting to align more with the very successful teams in Super Rugby.I guess the luxury we have here is the fantastic player base that we do enjoy and its making sure that we maximise that advantage and I think that weve still got plenty of growth (to go) and were still finding out what is the best way to do that.
