Texas, LSU and Oregon, possibly Tennessee and potentially other suitors would have been insane not to throw everything they had at Pete.
Also, we have assistant coaches who are cream of the crop (cough::JimmyLake::cough) who we will want to keep.
This isn't negotiating against yourself. This is heading off bidding wars and rumors that can drive Pete's price up and fuck up recruiting. It's good for everyone.
I understand 10 years seems like a long time, but this a pretty safe bet.
Don't act like Texas, LSU and Phil Knight wouldn't back up a Brinks truck to get Pete right now.

He was going to get a raise at the end of the year, UW always takes care of it's coaches. A 10 year contract is ridiculous. He does not want to leave. He had way more money on the table for years when he was at Boise State when major conferences would come around. Even a 6 or 7 year extension would have been sufficient. This is just stupid. Obviously we like him but why promise more than is necessary?
I would bet he is way more concerned about his budget for assistant coaches vs this bs 10 year extension.

Fozzy doesn't want a coaching change... maybe this is our way of locking him up.

Year 3, we are 9-0.
SHIT, we don't need anything to jinx this Saturday's game. #superstitioussuperiorityguy #paranoia
(Seriously, while we're at it any chance we can back up the truck for Kwiatkowski and Jimmy Lake?)
