Makes perfect sense if it was a one year extension to cover this year! Without any details it is impossible to determine if it was a good move or not. To me any extension beyond the end of this season should have been held off on until the end of this season and only providing he keeps his team out of the MVC tourny play in. Less than that and an extension wouldn't seem merited to me.

Does anyone know how many years the contract extension is for?

Too many.

More signs that Evansville is just happy to be here.

We're just over here embracing mediocrity... or should I say Martyocrity.

9 years
141-143 against D-1 competition
0 postseason appearances that didn't cost $$$
Out of 9 years, the lowest 3 SOS years have been the last 3 (self-preservation, IMO)

The self-preservation statement is my opinion. The rest are facts. You have to try really hard to explain those away. It just ends up sound like those directTv Settlers commercials.

I found this to be a nice, and fitting, line.

I rest my case.
