Is it too early to give Whiz an extension?

[Denny Green Fan]

I dont want anybody stealing him from us. He has reached mythical proportions already in my eyes.

When is he signed through? We need to lock up Haley for a couple more years too.

edit: Haley was extended this year through 2010.

He still has 2 years after this one right?

We can extend him sometime next year.

 

[Denny Green Fan]

I think 2 more years with an option for the third

 

[Totally_Red]

Yes, it's too early. He's got three+ years left on his 5-year deal and Q has two. What kind of message would that send?


Next offseason (after the 2009 season) if the winning continues would be the appropriate time IMO.

 

[Denny Green Fan]

My bad I thought he had a four year deal

 

[seesred]

Extend for Whiz..Yes we should! Two years 8-8 and then division.

As for Q we should have last year,

GBR
40

What gets me excited is imagine what Whiz is going to do when he gets an offensive line in place and a few more stud defenders.

And Whis is still a young head coach. He's still learning...I don't want to get ahead of myself but how great would it be to have a coach stay for a long, long time like Pittsburgh had the luxury of?

 

[NeverSayDieFan]

I have been impressed with Coach Whiz' from day one...

Listening to his post-game interviews has become part of my weekly routine. He just comes across as a down-to-earth, classy-guy. I'm very happy to see him as the face of our franchise. Hopefully, for many more years to come. You can't put a price on "leadership". Either others will follow you, or they won't. Clearly, he has the heart of this team. GO CARDS!

I've got no problem giving him an extension. He's proven he can coach.

I would love it. I hope the Cardinals aspire to be at that level.

Since 1969
Noll 23 seasons
Cowher 15 seasons
Tomlin 2 seasons and counting

Too early for me. Lets see where we are week 10 next year.

Well there's a surprise!


In this case, I agree with you. Except, I am fairly certain that by week 10 next year it will be a forgone conclusion.

I'm sure Whiz's contract will be extended but their is no rush to do it. Wait until he has his hand in the selection process for the building of our team bench. He's a great believer in having competition for each position, ask Leinart and Edge. I would give him a failing grade though for our overall punting. Perhaps the new punter will do better than the last.

 

[Rooster7]

give Whiz an extension???

Whew....

When I read that I couldn't help but think of Ontario "Whizzinator" Smith and wonder how in the He!! he would fit that thing in his suitcase then.

I know...old news but its still an embarrassing moment in my Vikings history.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

Well, I'm going to throw rose petals at his feet.

 

[SeattleCard]

Sign him to a lifetime contract

 

[az jam]

Extend him for another three years. This means he would have 5 years left on his contract.
