It's not a huge leap in spelling there.I know you love to think you're right, but unless he knows he's gone either way then yes he needs to give up at least a large chunk of the payoff in order to get his extension. WVU will take no other deal....period and Lyons would be dumb to do otherwise. Dana would be equally dumb to not concede some. Lyons will have his job in 2017 no matter what Dana does or doesn't do. Dana lacks that same assurance. People make emotional decisions all the time. Lyons wouldn't be the first. He literally decides whether Dana comes back in 2017 and can make his exit after next season either pleasant or unpleasant. Again, how excited is his next job going to be if Lyons drags his name through the mud? If he can negotiate an extension and get us to regular 9 win seasons for the next couple years he will get at least 4mil a year for the next 3 years thereafter as opposed to digging his heels, getting canned. Count his 4 mil while settling for a job for 500-600k a year with no assurance he will ever get that shot again. You obviously don't think like this. I do. I've made concessions in my contract 3 years ago that will benefit me when my new contract comes up in 2 months and will do so until I decide to retire. It sucked in the short term, but I've matured to the point where I realize that sometimes you can't sweat the short term stuff when you know you are good at what you do and have several years to get that back as long as you don't burn bridges along the way.</blockquote>
