I find it amazing that we still have this reputation in the media....

Northey 1993-1995. Walked away when he was contracted for another year due to his own insecurities. Not sacked.
Walls 1996-1997. Sacked after a 137 point loss in Round 17. The way we played for most of that year, it appeared clear that he had lost the players.
Gieschen 1998-1999. Not sure about this one- I thought he actually resigned at the end of his term (may be wrong). From the outside it appeared he didn't have the respect of the senior clique of players.
Frawley 2000-2004. Was not offered a new contract. Based on performances in his last 3 years, is it any wonder?
Wallace 2005-now. who knows?

That means that so far, in 16 years since 1993, we have sacked 2 coaches (if we include Gieschen). Hardly the type of ruthless culture that the media portrays.
