It’s all relative to the clubs succession plan. A plan every club should have. Clearly we didn’t, therefore we are rebuilding.What has the contract length got to do with it? After all, a coaches job is to instruct, to guide with a view to firstly be competitive and secondly to win the comp he's in. A contract is in the overwhelming majority of cases at least a year long or if during the season, it will be to the season's conclusion. Sure a coach might want to make a plan for three or four years but every single coach knows he could be out on his arse after one season or less.
Why would his imput be required as to the length of a contract? It wouldn't be, it's the boards appointee or representative whose job it is to organize the contract and the board's responsibility to sign off on any decision.
A coach can say, I want player X but it's bullshit to think he has the real say on the price paid or the contracts length.
