I think everyone would agree it was an odd time to extend his contract.

I would agree with that
Not sure what difference it makes when you do an extension, though. I mean, does it really matter when you add 1 year? I would say the off season is the time to do it. It would have been odd to do it in the middle of the season. Just my thoughts.

Usually you see the extensions at the end of a season in response to vacancies that might be attractive to the candidate. But nobody was beating down our door for Gus in December and it would've been odd to give him one on the heels of a 6-6 season. That's why I think it was done in conjunction with Big Cat Weekend (or shortly thereafter).

It's weird because we guarantee him more money without really seeing any benefit from extending him. If we had done it when we were hiring coaches, it would have made more sense.
