Shula given extension, but no raise

[BAMAPHIN 22]

Alabama coach Mike Shula received a one-year contract extension Tuesday but didn't get a raise to his $900,000 salary.

Shula, 40, has led Alabama to 4-9 and 6-6 records, including a berth in the Music City Bowl, in his first two seasons after taking over a program reeling from NCAA sanctions and the offseason firing of Mike Price.

"I am humbled by the University of Alabama's generous offer to extend my contract," Shula said. "This extension reinforces the university's resolve to restore our football program to national prominence. That remains my top priority."

He didn't get a raise after leading 'Bama to the Music City Bowl? :D

Wow, only a one year extension? He really has done good things for that program. Only a one year extension makes you think they brought him in just to be a place holder for a few years until someone better is available. Sort of like what Florida did with Zook.
