Are you listening Mr. Limegrover?
Do you know what kind of relationship the two have? Neither do I.

Thank god the U didn't wait this one out.
A few thoughts:
It's really a 3 year deal starting next season.
It's an extension of the Kill program, so recruits should know what to expect.
It does allow JUCO recruits to know the staff will be here for their entire career. The potential for several JUCOs to come in and start in key spots is high, especially on the lines.
The next 2 seasons set up nicely for Claeys to make a run at 8-10 wins both years, which should be good enough to earn a hell of an extension. By then the facilities will be coming through and in state recruiting will have been worked for 7 years by this staff.
All good things moving forward.
I have no idea. Just a snarky comment by me because I'm frustrated with our offense at times. However, we seem to have the engine at least partially going now.Do you know what kind of relationship the two have? Neither do I.
According to the trib - 3 year deal - 1.4mil year one (next year) - 1.5mil year two - 1.6mil year three. No mention of the buyout but seems like a fair deal for both Claeys and the University at this point given the state of things. Gives Claeys a chance to prove he is the right guy for the job but also gives the new AD some flexibility of not being saddled with an inherited coach with a big contract. Would assume we will see Sawvel officially promoted to DC here at some point soon which is great because he is ready to take that step in his career and had Kill not retired it would not have surprised me to see him leave and become a DC somewhere else this off season.
The only two that strike me as nearly a sure thing are Dantonio at Michigan State and Fitzgerald at Northwestern. Coming into the year Ferentz looked like he might be on thin ice but now he might also be a safe bet to be around for a while given the year they have had.
But yeah, outside of only a couple there are no guarantees of any kind that a staff is going to be around and any recruit that doesn't understand that has not been paying any attention to the coaching landscape. As others have said, when the AD position is solidified, if Claeys is getting it done he will get a nice extension and raise. Claeys knows that and I am sure he also knows that given the circumstances this is a very fair offer for a first time head coach.

In all seriousness, I'm interested to hear if Claeys will build on that comment or if it will be a wait and see thing for fans.
The doubt would be casted no matter what, given circumstances

Over / Under on how long it will take for first thread to appear demanding a pay raise commensurate with the rest of the Big Ten to retain TC.
I'm picking October 2016
I hope it is much sooner because we just got done beating Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and our bowl opponent.
@MarQueisG: Congrats Coach Claeys aka Tripple C (Cool.Calm.Collected.)[emoji41]

Let's not forget what is most important. Tracysota? MinneClaeys?

Actually, the guy Sid dictates to is writing it as we speak.

Tracy Claeys understands how it works. I'm 100% on board with the move.
Claeys has something that Kill did not and that is swagger. He has it. His Defenses have it. You can see how TC and Sawvel command respect and the D players exude it.
But does he have swagger in his ass?
