In the OSU thread Mdot just posted about Day's contract extension. Which makes sense for Day since he just won the NC.

But it made me wonder if the more transactional, short-term nature of NIL and the transfer portal will reduce coaches' negotiating power to get contract extensions.

Coaches were nearly always able to make sure they had a minimum of 4 years left on whatever contract they signed. Because they--perhaps rightly?--could claim that not having that would impact recruiting, as any prospective recruit wouldn't have a guarantee that the coach they were signing up to go play for would be there the duration of their collegiate experience.

But now, recruits know they're really not trapped into the first school they sign with, and also know that if they're signing with a coach because they believe in the coach, they can immediately jump ship to wherever the coach ends up next if he doesn't last 4 years.

Do you think this will start to creep into coaching contracts?
Nope. It feels like it has been years and years that people have been guessing perhaps there will be some kind of slowdown in contracts.

and the money keeps getting bigger/the spending keeps getting higher. It’s Bay Area housing prices until it stops being that.

yup. the more money that gets pumped into the system the more the coaches are going to make.

a good coach is a better ROI than a player - usually

pretty much agree with that everywhere except QB.

Surefire elite coach or surefire elite QB....I'm paying the QB.

At least until you can sign players to 4 year contracts, it's not close

ok good point I overlooked, so I'm changing my answer to coach. that is until sign an elite QB to a 4-year contract to where he can't just go hit the portal for a better NIL package.

have a feeling like we're getting close to that- very soon these players will be under contract and will not be able to just hit the portal.

even a decade or so ago, a surefire elite QB was going pro after a year or maybe two of starting

so, maybe two GREAT seasons from a QB - not that there's anything wrong with that

A great QB can be squandered by poor play-calling or line play.  I'm not sure how a great HC can be squandered.
