Quote:I've never really bought this concept. Don't most coaches essentially work off of a one-year deal anyway? If they aren't, are you sure that you want them on your staff? Granted, there are guys like Sullivan and others who just really want to be positional coaches, but don't you want a guy who is trying his best in order to get promoted? And don't you want to avoid the guys who are worried about Job Security?

While it's true that nfl coaches can and invariably get fired after just one year if the record is bad enough, let's consider smart business moves.


Wouldn't you want a multiple year contract of at all possible? Any legit coaching candidate would. Because Gus is on his lame duck year of his contract, there is no way that the new DC is gonna get any more than just one year.


It's simple economics. If you have other options, you're gonna go elsewhere. No need to sell yourself short on a 1 year deal when you can get a multiple year deal as insurance that even if you get fired, you'll have that cushion of income down the line.
