Like I said, Fr Mike was out of town and when he gets back they will get it done when Sean wants it done. Fr Mike got back from his visit with the pope and now it is done for 10 more years. Sean will not be wearing Sears wear next year that is for sure.

Hey Muskieman: What was the Pope’s role in this extension? By the way I got a Pope bobble head last week, way cool.

Assuming Dow is right and Miller's "Total Compensation" is just below $1M, this is very disappointing.... We are not thinking big time at all here...

Miller is still making less then Majerius...

It needed to be the the $1.3M range....

pass, I think Miller's contract contained a clause saying that he got a lifetime supply of this product--

I'm a "glass is half full" kind of guy, so I think this is great news. I would say to True Blue that there is always going to be another Coach getting a bigger paycheck. It's the nature of the beast. For the moment Sean is apparently content. If nothing else, we should now be able to keep this topic off the board until the end of the 2008-2009 season.

I disagree, I don't think that Miller is in it for the money, because if he was he would be gone. If you look at the article, this is his 3 contract extension in 4 years, thats pretty good. He was only making 325,000 base his first year, and he is now making 700,000-800,000 base, thats pretty good. Rick is making so much because he is a big name, and I think Miller knows we are willing to negotiate with him. It just seems to me that if he wanted to leave, he would be gone.

Mr. N: I’m thinking Pius IX is not smelling real good right now.

It was also mentioned that with the Popes not being known as chick magnets, that might not be the scent you want to go with.

You are disappointed that Sean didn't make 1.3, what do you get a cut or something? Sean is a smart man and if he said yes to 1 or less then why are you disappointed. Did you want to go brag to your buddies?

look Sean could have gone to many schools but stayed at X and if he stayed for less money then that might tell you something about the man. Maybe he got other perks that make the contract more appealing to Sean.
