I don\'t think lifetime contracts are a good idea for either party, because so much can change, but then again I don\'t think tenure is a good idea for professors either.
Harbaugh has all the leverage right now, and I doubt contract "security" is much of a concern for him. Â His security is that he is good, portable, and in demand. Â That might change of course, but if it does, why would Stanford want to be saddled with a lifetime contract for some guy who is no longer in demand, lost the magic touch or just starts losing all the time?

Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working .I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. Peter Gibbons
