Its not like MB just handed ML tenure. and he will be here for life. Hes covering both ends. First its 1 more year and the Browns can eat that part of the contract if they want to fire Lewis. Second it has him under contract in case the team finally hits its stride and wins some playoff games so he cant just get away or raise his asking price dramitically.
its a smart move by the Front office. some fans dont look at things logically though.
Your logic does not make sense though. Let's say Marvin signed the one year extension because the team does not want him to be a lame duck coach and goes on to win the Super Bowl this year. They are going to be negotiating a new contract before the new season starts, otherwise he is a lame duck. Whether he wins the Super Bowl with one year left on his contract, or in the final year of it, he is going to demand a big pay raise. Many times he would negotiate a new deal even if he had 2-3 years left on a deal and won the Super Bowl.
