Another risk with selling covered calls far in advance, is if the stock tanks, then you are stuck holding it until expiration

Why not just buy them back?

There's nothing to force the call writer to maintain the position until expiration. If the stock falls early on, well in advance of expiration, the call writer can simply close the position, freeing up the shares used to cover the sale. With a volatile stock, it is often better to take the money and run when selling coverd calls.
