Utah State head coach Tim Duryea reacts to a call during an NCAA college basketball game against New Orleans, Monday, Dec. 19, 2016, in Logan, Utah. Utah State won, 76-66.
When Utah State hired longtime assistant Tim Duryea to replace Stew Morrill as head coach in 2015, the deal was presumed to be for five years.
The contract wording is under dispute, though.
While part of the contract noted that the deal was "for a term of five (5) years," dates listed on the actual contract claimed it was four years, beginning on March 30, 2015, and ending on June 30, 2019.
