Eddie Jones is targeting World Cup glory in 2019 and a sustainable future after agreeing a contract extension with England.
The former Japan boss extended his deal with England on Wednesday, keeping him in the job until 2021 and in doing so has agreed to help select and transition the next coach over two years as the RFU seek continuity.
Jones is hungry for World Cup success and says he is looking forward to playing a role in ensuring England evolve well under the new coach following his departure.
"It was after Christmas when Steve (Brown) raised the possibility and it then ignited an idea in my head that we could do something for English rugby here and win the World Cup then walk away," told Sky Sports News.
"That's still the deal, but now I can play a role in helping England be sustainably successful.
"I'll be the head coach and then the new guy comes in and I'll increasingly give him more responsibility.
"This is a choice I've made because I think we can do something that no one's ever done before and create a successful transition in coaches."
When asked whether his presence will put off coaches from applying for the job, he replied: "I think if they are put off by coaching with me then they probably don't want to coach England badly enough."
Jones' contract also includes a performance-based break clause based on England's performance at the World Cup which means he will not continue in his role unless they have a good tournament.
"It's mutual agreement," he responded when asked about contract. "I don't want to stay here if I'm not successful and that's always been the case. For me [being successful] is winning the World Cup."
