re: How to fix the Coaching Carousel?

Folks like Jimmy Sexton are to blame. The coaching carousel started primarily with him. Until the major schools start putting teeth in their contract like you say, it will be this way. But that is like saying baseball teams should not pay the players so much, it won't work that way. There is always one fool (Steinbrenner) out there who won't go along and will pay big bucks to try and gain an edge. And right now colleges are willing to pay big bucks in contracts that give them almost no protection just so they can win . . . NOW!
The only way we return to the days of coaches staying 10-20 years at one school is if the contracts specify severe financial penalties on either side for leaving.
LSU took a step in the right direction with the $1.25 mil buyout for MI in Miles' contract. But it needs to be higher. More like 5 years' salary.

I said this in another thread. These coaches need to have HUGE buyouts. If he doesn't want that in his contract, move on with the coaching search. That tells you all you need to know about him. He's not in it for the long haul.
If a coach cannot sign a 5 year deal without a buyout, then he is going to be looking elsewhere in a few years.
You don't want him coaching your program.
