Gus Malzahn’s Contract Extension Means Nothing

If you weren’t surprised when you looked at your phone yesterday and saw that Gus Malzahn was given a contract extension, then you know something most of us don’t. My Bleacher Report app notified me that the contract extension would be through 2020, and at the time I thought that was a big commitment.

Ok, yes. I am guilty of not knowing every SEC coach’s exact contract ending dates. A closer look will tell you that this is only a 1 year extension on a deal that is already ranked as the 13th highest salary of a coach in the NCAA.
