Consider me a member of the "black cloud gang" if it means thinking this extension is idiotic!

I doubt they'll stop "calling" him. 7 more years to demonstrate why we're not an institution of football.

Yeah. I don't care what a Pollyanna thinks either.

I don't believe it. TIM said he'd be gone soon.

Why the rush? The Bor gives him a raise after 1-11. Now this. 4-0 is great, but Dang. Just ready for K St. Sic'em

Seems premature. I think ISU was our first win against a team with a winning record.

BOR gets their wish. Baylor football equals mediocrity for the ages. Plus boring football.

Last year Oklahoma State finished 7-6. Not great, but still a winning record. Maybe ISU will continue strong the rest of the season with wins over TCU & OU like 2017. I'd be pleased if they beat Texas too.

I don't consider this team, or the improvement they are showing, as "mediocrity" at all. Rhule and the team are doing great...just don't think an extension through 2028 is merited at this point.

When you're a traditionally mediocre program with a coach in high demand, you don't have the luxury of waiting for the results to match your expectations. If you feel confident in the direction you're headed, you strike before a competitor can.

If nothing else, this should raise Rhule's buyout and make him harder for the NFL or a blue-blood program to steal. It also sends a strong signal to recruits and our current athletes that we're building something lasting and significant here. All of those are good things.

Seems early for that unless they included some severely huge buyout provisions for his leaving for the NFL within the next few years.

This is the reason. Baylor wants to clamp down on the speculation every year that he will go to the NFL. It won't necessarily die completely, but it might lessen it a bit.

I think we can take them at their word as well: Baylor football does seem to be on a positive trajectory. How far this will go is anybody's guess but no Baylor fan (except maybe the cow & frog trolls) expects Baylor to be 7-6 again this year. The bar has been set higher--by Matt Rhule--& no doubt it will be high in 2020 as well. That's also a good thing.

Rhule himself needs to be the one to clamp down talk of him leaving. Contracts are made to be broken.

This is the greatest decision ever made by the Baylor athletic administration. Well, maybe 2nd best behind the decision to hire and later extend Kim Mulkey.

Amazing to read the Rhule news threads on the free site and premium site. It is black and white, negative and positive. No wonder I pay for premium.

You couldn't be more wrong, but that is par for the course with your ignorant posts.

You'd be in the ignorant and small minority in thinking that.

A contract extension isn't good enough for you. So, a statement would just be attributed to typical coach speak.

Can you create a statement that would be good enough for yourself? I doubt it.

Let's see.....

He has gone 1-11 and 6-6 in his first 2 seasons. And walloped the worst team in the SEC in a bowl game by just barely.

Extension?

Sure. Before Alabama comes after him.
