I know that it's the norm to allow assistant coaches to leave for head coaching jobs, but it sure makes it tough to keep good coordinators around for very long. Look at Clements -- he was nearly gone after a single season had Notre Dame wanted him. What kind of committment is that -- one season?! I like the policy of allowing assistants out of their contracts to advance to head coaching positions, but I'd like to see this policy adjusted somewhat. For example, if an assistant has served less than 2 years with his current team, he may not be contacted by other teams for head coaching positions if he's still under contract. Jerry Gray has been with the Bills for 4 seasons now and has earned the right to leave (though I sure hate to see him go). It's just that with coordinators coming and going every season it's nearly impossible for a team to get any continuity going. A new coordinator comes in with a new scheme and it's practically like starting over again. Like I said, I like the policy, but I think it's time for NFL owners to tighten it just a little bit.
