Roger just reported that Jimmy is about to sign a two year extension, bringing him through the 20-21 season.
Is it possible thatbthe Admin was shrewd enough to not increase the cost of buying outbthe contract extension? I understand that it is helpful to be able to tell recruits (current juniors) that his contract extends through their senior season, but I hope it is an extension only in that sense.

I am by no means in the hater category, but I am not persuaded that a two year extension, if that means the cost to Siena of terminating Jimmy as coach just went up half a million plus, is a prudent thing to do. Had I had any input the last time around, he would not have been my choice, but I see more positives than many and fewer than some others. Next year is very important in terms of my evaluation. I would not have given him two more years two years ago and I would not do it now. That's why I hope the financial commitment if Jimmy does not get the program back to where most of us want it to be is not as great as one might expect from Rodger's report.

I've been on the fence with Jimmy but I agree with KS I would hope the "buyout" remains the same. If it is just added years with "no teeth" I really don't have a problem with it. But if he's now back to a 5-year guaranteed contract I don't quite get it. Jimmy is no threat to go anyplace now. Heck after Siena beat Vanderbilt Fran did not even get an extension until after the Ohio St win.
It's not a huge deal but I probably would have waited until we won the MAAC next year. Three years is still a lot of time left on a contract.

I don't have a big problem with this like many on this forum do but I don't see the necessity of it either. It does seem to be the way our AD always does business. I doubt that there was a phone call as suggested by HJ but the fear of one seems to make our AD nervous.

Guessing Darg gave Jimmy full extension- Darg has not proven to be an astute negotiator over the years- just look at contract he gave Mitch, and now hearing lots of rumblings on Ali. In his mind he is probably thinking he saved Siena money by not doing it next year if Siena wins MAAC. Hope I’m wrong but I doubt it

I assume you mean a full extension? If so, what is meant by a 'full extension'?
