So. The next coach coming in will know that whatever his contract states, and for whatever money, the players have the power at any time to decide he has "lost the dressing room", play like crap, and get him fired. Only takes one bad trot and that's that. Who in their right mind would relocate and uproot their life to move to Brisbane, knowing this can happen to them too? However good or poor a coach they are, only takes players deciding to destroy him and phone it in for half a season and his job is under threat.
Edit: having said that, glad he is gong but also disappointed. The train wreck was entertaining. For all the wrong reasons, sure, but entertaining. And we just lost the conductor. Slightly sad.
