Welp, do not have much for ya on that one. But there are two reasons why he probably will be offered an extension. M and M. Probably 2-3 more years. Best case is 2 years but all/most Assistants only have 1 year so they only have his buyout to worry about after next season. Something else to consider is if they offer 2, and somewhere closer to his home or a situation he likes better offers him maybe a bit lower salary but a longer term and he decides to leave. I know that chances of that are probably low but if his contract is up its a possibility.
I'm just gonna say it. He shouldn't be. He's 93-112 with zero reg season or tourney champs. Only 3 winning seasons in 7 years and only 2 seasons with 20+ wins.
He will be extended if we follow the pattern, but he shouldn't be. They can argue about giving time etc but we didn't have to give CRI time, and CKD had a 118-96 record after seven years. While a lot weren't happy due to no post season and not even hitting 20 wins, He still only had a losing record once in his first seven.
CKD hit gold year 10, but things are different now. There is no building a team anymore as it is almost year to year rebuild, two years tops. This year was essentially build for it all and McD still couldn't do it. If it wasn't for being in a good conference and playing schools like UT, we wouldn't have even been in the NIT.
It's time for a reset.

If his contract is up, why would they extend it? He’s clearly not going to elevate the program. Right now you’re hearing so many stories of schools like MT who hired the right coach and Bam! they have historic seasons. That’s not going to happen with McDevitt. He bought the right players, he just couldn’t do anything with him.
