Bit of a weird one for me as I thought he was being prepped as a successor for Rayer, when he decides to call it a day. There isn’t that same progress opportunity at Coventry.

No. Of course there isn't the same opportunity for progression at or from  Coventry.

The opportunity to stay at Bedford, become head coach, and continue for 30 years until he takes his pension, at a club where  ambition means to stay where they are.

Or, the opportunity to move to a club which has shown ambition after rejoining the championship, and where his immediate predecessor has just been recognised by the RFU and promoted to coaching in the same role at international level.

Coventry didn't want to lose Louis Deacon, at no notice, but have passed h on with the blessings of the club, and with congratulations on his recognition and promotion. 
Bedford? Less so.
 Ambition is wasted without capability.  We once had our time in the sun, but we we’re burned by the harsh world of finance (or lack of it). 
If I remember correctly  Cov were sniffing around at the time, hoping to sneak in to AD1, on the back of our misfortune.

Of course we would love to be there again, under the right circumstances, as would all Champ sides.  However we are chilled and realistic, hence don’t bang on about ‘ambition’ anymore, at least not until a Billionaire steps up.
