[NU Sports] The lessons of history (& contract extensions)

[Jeff Beamsley]

In a similar vein, contract extensions aren't a guarantee of employment for
a coach either.

If RW isn't able to reload with the new crop of QB's or he is involved in
another scandal, he's going to be on the hot seat again regardless of his
contract status.

So, at the end of the day, RW got a raise for the good results the team
turned in during the Baz years.  That certainly seems fair.  He has also
earned the chance to prove that he can continue to deliver good results with
this new bunch of kids.  Though some are understandably skeptical, I think
most everyone hopes that he does.

Quick note about Stephen Truog's post:

"We can stop worrying about whether the coach will leave or get snagged by a
big school or fired and build on the last few years."

Am I the only one who remembers Gary Barnett? Granted, I don't think that RW
has the high market value that Barnett once did, but a contract extension
guarantees you NOTHING from a coach. That being said, I will only start to
worry about Walker walking if he opens a restaurant in Evanston with his
name on it.  :-)

Victory & Honor,
Jim
