[Fly Like a Duck]

I know one thing... if I am being asked to uproot my family to come all the way to rural Pineville... and I see how Bell just handled their former coach... as well as the current economy of the area. I am demanding a 5 year contract.

No doubt.

That should be the case at most places, too.

That is another aspect that people don't understand in regards to wondering why coaches aren't just uprooting to move around anymore. There is no contract other than it being a year to year deal.

No contract for a job that pays dirt (not just Bell, but in general), and also has so many variables that you can't control:

-talent levels coming through or lack of
-administrative changes above you
-not being able to hire any of your staff
-financial cuts
-etc
