Coaches contracts are pretty much always fully guaranteed (and if we won't offer him a guaranteed contract, someone else most likely will)This is almost assuredly why there seems to be a dispute over the contract length...if we're okay with 15m/yr (which is basically the going rate nowadays) but Matt wants a 5 year deal and we're only offering 2 years, there's still a gap of 45m between our two positions. And if we sign him to a long-term deal like he wants and turn around and fire him next offseason we're still on the hook for 60m+. But if it's a shorter deal like we'd prefer, maybe it's half that amountEven though that's outside the cap, given how cheap we've historically been with coaches I'd be awfully surprised if we came to any kind of long-term deal with Matt that didn't imply considerably more "job security" than he currently holds</blockquote>
