Crusty you and I may have an a generational gap that explains our differences- I just don't believe there is any loyalty in sports-especially in coaching much less any industry these days.  If you are saying that our coaches are significantly underpaid and that there are many schools out there that can easily scoop them up, then a small bonus and extension will mean absolutely nothing when that time comes.  As an employee in a 30,000 plus international corporation I appreciate some of the nice things my company does for me from time to time.  However when the guy across the street comes to double my salary it won't really be much of a consideration to stay.  If I have a bad year or two they'll get rid of me and be glad they did.   I highly doubt Shafer and staff are much different in that regard-if they were satisfied with molding young men they could do that at lesser institutions for less money and none of the pressure.  For their own reasons they have chosen BCS football for their profession.  I hope I am wrong and he is wildly successful here and I will happily eat crow when Shafer turns down a better offer when that day comes.  At any rate 7-6 is a good season but I'd like to see it duplicated and even better yet improved upon before tearing up the contract.
