Agents for coaches are no different than agents for players. Once the first few players got the big 7+ year deals agents started using those examples in negotiation and now they are the norm for star players. It's probably going to make it more costly to fire coaches in the future but given the fact that these guys get fired so often they probably deserve some financial compensation for working for impatient owners.
