It's definitely not common but it has happened recently. Jauron started this year as a lame duck as an example. And Herm has never had a problem with credibility or relationship with players. Say what you will about the man but everyone close to his teams has acknowledged that as the truth. If he competes for a playoff berth at the end of 2009 he gets a contract, if he doesn't he's gone. Simple and clean.
But I think it's only a little better than 50/50 he's back next year - based on nothing but guessing.
