[QUOTE="ILL_INI, post: 1431746, member: 4851"] Giving a contract extension to a football coach in order to help with recruiting has never worked, and Josh Whitman knows this. The only reason you give someone a contract extension is because you are afraid of losing your employee to another employer. Josh Whitman has seen the improvement Lovie has made, and believe me, if JW sees it, then every other AD and GM sees it, too. There is a lot that can happen in the off-season, but I truly believe Lovie has a chance of going from 4 wins this year to 5 wins next year! ADs at Louisville, Maryland with their dirty money, USC which might open up next year, among others, are all eyeing the improvement Lovie has shown and must be very interested. (And rumor has it that the Browns are very interested in the head coach of a Midwestern land-grant university that begins with I.) But with a stroke a of pen, Josh Whitman has nipped those assaults in the bud. While the rest of you are playing checkers, JW is playing chess! [/QUOTE]
