[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 902876, member: 3893"] Walter Alston only signed one-year contracts when he managed the Dodgers. Retired after 23 one-year contracts, seven pennants and four World Series championships. He said he only wanted one-year contracts because if they didn't want him, he didn't want to be around. That's impossible in college football. A four-year contract is minimum for recruiting purposes. But a novel approach would be a four- or five-year contract spelling out the terms each year, incentives or whatever, but no buyout. If the coach wanted to walk away and go somewhere else, he would be free to do so without financial encumbrance. Likewise if the AD wanted to let him go. Sort of a throwback to Mr. Alston, one of the best managers baseball ever saw. [/QUOTE]
