TERRY Wallace has been guaranteed his job as Richmond coach until at the least the middle of the year.
The Tigers board met on Tuesday night and reaffirmed its commitment to reviewing Wallace's performance mid-season.
Richmond president Gary March said last night the club would not bow to 'outside pressures' after the Tigers' winless start to the season.
"We will not buckle to outside pressures in regards to the process which we put in last July,'' March said.
"The coaching review was to be made mid-season and a decision will be made as to what direction the club takes."
"The current situation is nothing has changed."
"Terry is coaching. He is contracted to coach."
"And the review is not just the coaching, it's the whole footy department. It's a work in progress.''
Wallace needs to get the Tigers to the finals for the first time in his five-year reign if he is going to keep his job but finals appear to be a remote possibility with no side making the top eight after starting the season with four consecutive losses.
