AFL coaches: who is under most pressure?

   Jon Pierik and Matt Murnane
    The Age
    January 22, 2014

Here how your club's coach is faring:

Richmond: Damien Hardwick

Contracted to end of 2016

State of Play:

The man who finally took the Tigers to September was rewarded with a two-year contract extension shortly after the club's surprise elimination final exit. Have recruited players to fill specific needs over the past few seasons and increase their depth. However the biggest improvement last season came defensively. Having broken their finals drought, the next aim will be to claim a top-four spot, although just ensuring they make the top eight again will be hard enough.

Going into this season I would say most are safe from being sacked besides for Brad Scott and McKenna.

Actually think Longmire could be under the pump at bit

Signing Buddy for this year after getting Tippett last years means the expectations in the Harbour city are massive

They'll be thinking GF at a minimum

What happens if they don't make it  ;D

As long as they are in the top 8 throughout the season he won't be sacked.
