Announced this afternoon:
Nick Easter leaves Harlequins

I'm guessing Gussy's looking after Defence at least in the short
term.

I usually rely on Twitter for Quins news, seems they've decided
not to tweet this yet.
Club legend but feel like he should have honed his coaching
skills elsewhere before returning to us. Our defence last season
really was poor.
All the best for the future Minty!

Not terribly surprising.
Not sure about his "promising coaching carrer" didn't they see
our defence last season?
Oh well, best of luck Minty, legend as a player, think he would
have been better off going elsewhere, down the leauges probably,
to earn his coaching spurs first.

Can only really agree with the above. Legend as a player, seemed
to do well as a coach with Wimbledon, but should never have been
given such an important role for his first full time coaching
job. It's a shame for him as it slightly taints his legacy.
I'll choose to remember all he did as a player, forget his
coaching, thank him for what he's done for the club over so many
years and wish him all the best

He had been coaching at Esher (I think?) for a couple of years
before hanging up his boots. I think he was rushed a bit too
quickly up into Premiership level. Give him a few more years at
Nat1 & Championship level to develop & I reckon he'll become a
coach in demand, just not yet.

FF, are you getting him confused with Williams. I think Easter
was involved at Wimbledon but that is it??

He will always be up there with the Quins greats and I love the
bloke for everything he has done in a players shirt for Quins
but as said above was put in to a position he wasn't ready for.
Whether players didn't listen to him or his defence system was
pants, either way coach should have sorted it out over 2 years,
maybe too close to the players to get something sorted, Good
luck Nick.

Arguably the best Quins player since I've been attending. Shame
he's moving on. Thanks Nick.

Nick Easter has been a part of Quins since before I was a
supporter. Only just, but still. Thanks, Nick, and good luck for
the future.
