[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 903796, member: 2426"] I don't see it quite that way. A tenant not paying rent would be more equivalent to the HC not fulfilling the roles of HC. (i.e. not showing up for work, not meeting commitments for press/conventions/etc.) In the case of Collins, a seven year contract was probably a bad idea. Having a full contract buyout until the end of the fourth year was definitely a bad idea. There are several reasons to have multi-year contracts and buyouts for the HC. Recruits need to believe that the person recruiting them will be around. It adds some protection to the athletic association from over-zealous boosters who demand that a coach be fired after one bad play. It gives the HC leeway to do some things even if they aren't immediately popular IF he believes that those things will lead to longer term success. You could draw up a contract with requirements for success. The problem with doing that is that a competent coach and legal team would want those requirements tied to minimum support levels from the athletic association. The athletic association can make a contract as cheap and strict as they want to, but it will greatly limit the availability of coaches willing to work here. The overall goal should be a contract that works for both sides. I think we can agree that the CGC contract did not. [/QUOTE]
