Sure there are lots of ways to structure contracts, but it isn't as easy to


pull the wool over assistant coaches' eyes. If there's no big buyout, there is no long term security. Why would a good coach join a HC's staff knowing that next year or the year after that he would fired? You can get coaches that don't have better opportunities, sure, but not the best coaches. They aren't stupid.

Furthermore, lack of a big buyout would be used in recruiting. Any coach with more stability will say, well, that guy has one bad year through no fault of his own and he's going to get fired.

At the end of the day, you're paying to make the job attractive to coaches and recruits. If JCP is the choice, VT is screwed badly.
