Koetter gets... an extension?

Arizona State set to give Koetter contract extension:

TEMPE, Ariz. -- The contract of Arizona State football coach Dirk Koetter will be extended, athletic director Lisa Love said Tuesday.

Terms of the extension, including the year it ends, were still being discussed, but Koetter said he is authorized to tell recruits that he will be the coach through their time at the school.

Koetter's current contract is to expire after the 2007 season.

"This extension is something I have wanted because I want to continue coaching at Arizona State University for a long, long time," Koetter said. "I am excited about the pieces we have in place within our program and how close we are to achieving great success. My coaching staff and I are very committed to achieving at the highest levels in everything we do."

you really don't like him, huh. Do you think he should have been let go?

[brady_44]

Maybe not let go yet, but his current last contract didn't expire for a couple years yet. I don't think he's done anything worthy of a big extension. Who knows, maybe he will turn out to be a great coach in the long run, but right now he isn't my first choice.

if you didn't make it to a bowl game this year, do you think he would've been axed? what's been the general sentiment of the fans about him?

I'm not sure if Koetter deserved an extension, but I think he is a decent coach.
