[QUOTE="CEB, post: 909904, member: 4905"] Interesting question. From a coaching perspective and an initial contract perspective, I think a lot of coaches would take the position that they don't want to be judged on what they do with someone else's guys. Basically saying, four years is the minimum to get a group of guys that I have recruited and developed; judge me at that point. I dont think that changes much. I agree, everyone talks about having four years so a recruit sees stability over the course of his career... that seems to be more of an extension thing. Initial contracts grew to 5 and 6 years because of that "4-year remaining" notion coupled with the fact that renegotiating a contract after one season is kind of silly - just call it 5, you're logically there already anyway. All of that said, where the portal might have an effect is in those extensions discussions. I think you'll still see the 4-5 year initial contracts, but I think its going to be a little less critical to extend a guy just for recruiting appearances. Guys who aren't worthy of extension but aren't quite at the firing point might find themselves with 2 or 3 years remaining a little more frequently. [/QUOTE]
