[QUOTE="bravejason, post: 88983, member: 1069"] Given how fickle the fan bases are and the relative lack of stability of the coaching profession as a whole, I'd fight hard for a guaranteed contract if I were a college football coach. There's too much risk that you exceed preseason expectations, only to have the fans' expectations change at the end if the year and now you're judged as not meeting expectations. Also, fan expectations can get wildly out of control. If you could trust the AD to stick with you long term, then it might be different, but the AD doesn't seem to have that much more stability than the coaches. The incentive approach is a nice idea, but not necessarily so from the coach's POV, particularly if the coach has a good reputation and has other offers to choose from. Of course, if the AA and fans are willing to accept coaches with little pedigree, then I'm sure those guys would accept an incentive contract as a way to get their foot in the door. [/QUOTE]
