This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Yeah I'd agree, while pretty much everybody knows by TWO
the length of contracts of all these coaches, even Saban since he works for a State school where FIOA allows those interested to know the details of his contract.
I think it's better for these guys to be obtuse up until the end. As you say at some point coaches will use that against you on the recruiting trail and tell kids if you go there you won't play for the HC who recruited you.
It's why, at least in the past, you'd see assistants staying through NLOI signing day then leave programs (voluntarily or otherwise) after that so that kids wouldn't back out of signing because they weren't there to coach them.
