I had the same problem with mine ever since I replaced the belt a year and half ago. I got tired of having to take my draw bar plate off to get it back on. So I took the deck off and crawled under it. The belt seemed way to loose so I adjusted the brake rod. The belt is now tight and so far so good on the belt staying on.

Yeah forget this tip it's still coming off.
Just curious what kind of slack you are getting in the belt when you take tension off while the mower is not running? You should only get enough slack to allow the pulley to slip, not shoot out several inches "like a tongue" I believe you said. Is it possible the belt may be on wrong? Look all under it while the tension is off the belt and take your hand and move the belt around and see what you find. Hope this helps.
