So, does Pel get an extension or raise?

I think a rollover is typical. I don't think he should get a raise.

[Lakerhog]

Not until he proves that he can win consistently.

Raise? YHGOBFKM! No way............

[Spider-Pig]

he doesn't deserve anything. He should give some money back

The UofA could dock his pay for any time he's late.  That might put him below minimum wage though.

Do not know.  Probably up to the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor/Athletic Director as to he does or does not.

Long was able to get him another year. Would not think they would rollover his contract and add the too the buyout next year. If it doesn't go well.

[Boarford T. Justice]

Let's give him a raise to 2 million and lower the buyout to a $1.....we might come out better!

Pel gets one more year until ALL his appeals run out.

He will get an extension.  You almost have to do it for recruiting if you're not going to fire him.  I also think the buyout is lowered.

[No1Hog27]

Heck NO!!!!!

You don't have to do it for recruiting. That's a lie ADs tell. You think a kid cares if Pel's contract says 3 years remaining instead of 2?

His contract is through 2014.  Why extend it further?

[DoubleJ]

He deserves one.  He's a great coach, guys.  We need to lock him down before Kentucky comes after him.

This is what I would expect to happen.  It's the norm.

It's the same thing as a lame duck president.  Usually nothing gets done in the last term.  I think kids are smart enough to figure out that if Pelphrey doesn't get it done this year he's gone.  However when they ask him if he'll even be their coach he can at least give them an honest answer by saying I'm on contract through 20 whatever. 

I'm not saying that he deserves a roll over but there's no reason to further damage our chances with the 2011 kids.  Also if they renegotiate his contract he can ask for an extension and we can counter with a lower buyout.  I would much rather give him an extension with a lower buyout because of the potential of a much lower cost.  The savings could be used towards finding his replacement. 

I don't think the wool is over anyone's eyes at this point.  Pelphrey knows he has to win big next year.  Long knows he has to have a legitimate exit strategy.

I definitely think a raise is in order.......from the swift kick to his backside.
