Extensions are for the papers.
He earned the right to finish out his four year deal.
In the college football recruiting world contract extensions matter. Not too many coaches just play out their contracts. We do have to make a long term decision on Albin pretty soon in my opinion.
I wouldn't want him to enter year 4 on a 4 year deal, and I'm sure they won't, but otherwise an extension only harms the school offering it.
Extension for what exactly? For the papers? Like I said. To keep him from other offers? You think if Nebraska comes calling in 2023 he's gonna go.. 'oh guys sorry, I just got this extension.'
Absolutely not.
However, if we go 1-12 next season and we just extended him another 4 years... guess who is paying that 4 years?
And we're a school that just started a go fund me for NIL deals.
Can't take those risks.
