Question about a coach's 3rd year....

I don't keep up with it, but do most coaches who are deemed likely to be successful, rewarded with some type of extension during their 3rd season to help with recruiting and stability?? Like I said, I have no clue, but I would love to hear more from someone who may know more about it. Just seems like it would be a fairly common practice, if you were going to keep a coach.

 

Yes. You sign a 5 year contract. By the end of year 3 you expect an extension or firing. Otherwise you kill recruiting. Now there have been situations where coach's have gotten extensions that don't mean anything. i.e. add year to the contract, but the buyout goes down.

 

That's kind of what I was thinking. Thanks droski.

 

That's just the way it is.

 

But, but...Coach K at Army.

 

Yet another valid point

 

Exactly.

You ain't got to win championships in year 3 but you better be making people believe you are headed that way.

 

Year three you are passing the eye test.

This crap on the field .........well it is crap
