Coach Mike McCarthy Gets a Five Year Extension

From PackersNews.com's Pete Dougherty:

"Mike McCarthy has agreed to a contract extension as coach of the Green Bay Packers but put off signing it until next week so it won't be a distraction for his team's appearance in the NFC championship game Sunday.

An NFL source familiar with the negotiations said McCarthy's new deal will replace his old contract, which had only one year left at $2 million, with a five-year contract that averages about $4 million a year. That will put McCarthy above the average NFL head-coaching wage of $3.4 million a year. "

This is a great extension in my opinion and obviously well deserved, maybe not so well timed with the press release. On the cusp of a big game, the last thing anyone should be thinking about is a contract. At least he put of signing it, but I'm not sure its the same thing.

Oh well, its great for the Packers future to include Coach M, given his ability to relate to players, fans, front office and everybody.

Lets Go Pack!
