He shared the division and had an overall losing record. It's not marlin's fault that our AD allowed such language in the contract... But no coach should be rewarded for a losing season..ever. while I didn't agree with it, if it was in his contract that he get that...even I thought it was owed to him if that was agreed upon. A deal is a deal even if it's a bad one. While marlin was being ever so thoughtful for Hud's sake... He essentially granted himself extra years on his deal by "allowing us" to do the extension later. The man has hard time relating to players and recruiting but he isn't dumb.
