Here's the article I found talking about the extension: http://www.nytimes.com/1993/12/30/sports/sports-people-nfl-bengals-give-shula-a-2-year-contract.html

Quote:MIKE BROWN, Cincinnati's vice president and general manager, said, "He has done a good job under trying circumstances, and I'm confident he can shape the Bengals into a winner in the near future."

I think the fact that he was the son of a famous football coach (like Mike Brown) and played football at Dartmouth (like Mike Brown) probably earned him some points.
