England's coaching overhaul gathered pace Monday with the departures of Mike Catt, Andy Farrell and Graham Rowntree after a poor performance at the Rugby World Cup.
Stuart Lancaster, who was England's head coach at the World Cup, was fired last month just a year into his six-year deal, and replaced by Eddie Jones.
''Having met with all of the coaches to talk through the future direction, we felt it was the right time to make changes,'' said Jones, an Australian who is the first overseas coach of England's national team.
British media have reported that Jones will ask former England captain Steve Borthwick to be his assistant, reprising the roles the pair had with Japan at the World Cup.
On Sunday, English club Saracens said its defense and forwards coach, Paul Gustard, is considering the offer of a role as assistant coach in England's new regime. Jones gave Gustard his first coaching role in 2008 while at Saracens.
Defense coach Farrell and forwards coach Rowntree had been with England since 2011 and 2008, respectively, establishing strong reputations. They were also picked as assistant coaches for the British and Irish Lions in 2013, under head coach Warren Gatland.
Catt had been England's attack coach since 2012.
Under Lancaster and his coaching team, England finished second in every Six Nations campaign from 2012-15. They were widely criticized for their selections and tactics during the World Cup in September and October, when England lost to Wales and Australia to become the first host team to fail to advance from the pool stage.
Jones will look to finalize his coaching team before his first match in charge, against Scotland in the Six Nations on Feb. 6.
