That seems like an odd thing to assert. Coaches contracts really, really rarely expire. Trent Johnson's was the last I could think of, in college sports, and I can't really think of any examples off of the top of my head -- and certainly not in revenue sports.

Not even Trent Johnson as far as I can tell, which only further bolsters your point.

The articles from that time seem to indicate that the trouble was that Johnson was left hanging with only a year left on his contract - not that it actually expired.

Here is Wilner talking about the issue before Johnson left for LSU. Wilner writes, "Johnson's contract expires a year from now". The article is dated March 27, 2008 which was one month (to the day I think) before Johnson bolted for LSU and one month minus four days before Montgomery signed with Cal. [Wilner speculates that Bowlsby wanted Montgomery coaching Stanford again.]
