"Nothing has changed" at Edinburgh despite an improved performance against Leinster, says BBC Scotland's chief sports writer Tom English.
Sean Everitt's side were beaten 49-31 in the last 16 of the Champions Cup at the weekend, a result that effectively ends their season.
"I think Leinster showed Edinburgh zero respect," English said on the BBC Scotland Rugby Podcast. "I thought there was a terrible arrogance about what Leinster were trying to do. It was astonishing.
"Edinburgh's pressure and physicality was right up there to force interceptions and knock-ons. They dug in, they made a game of it. They lost it by plenty in the end but that was better than I thought they would do.
"Edinburgh have a very good pack, even though they might be missing a few. I thought they would come out all guns blazing, their season was riding on it.
"We see from Edinburgh that there's a good team desperately trying to break out - maybe not trying that hard but there is a good team there.
"They have a lot of decent things in place but it just never comes out or it will only come out for 10 or 15 minutes in the game.
"That performance didn't change anything for me. I think they need big change, not just at assistant coach level.
"They need to remove Sean Everitt, I think Edinburgh deserve a better, more experienced coach and then we might see Edinburgh move up a level."
