Why sign a coach for one or two years when he is the guy you chose? A coach can't coach and develop players with a year or two so if he's your guy 4 years is not so bad and it doesn't count against the cap if you want to fire them.

I don't know it's a good idea in theory but for torts situation in particular they made it so they can buy him out for half price. That can not inspire much confidence.
