Ehh I wouldn't party yet, we did the same thing with Schiano, they said they were gonna give him a 4th year right before we played the Saints to end the season, he got blew out against them, then they fired him and brought in Lovie Smith.
They prolly announced it now to see, how the team responds and depending on how they play, they'll see if they'll really sign that extension.
Honestly, I wouldn't bring him back, but if he does come back, he's gotta fire Mike Smith, his defense cost us at least 3 games this year alone with Buffalo, Green Bay, and the 2nd game against Carolina. Could say 4 with the 2nd Falcons game, but with how hurt we were before the game and then getting 10 hurt during the game, that's a 50/50 game
He's gotta either call his offense like he has been since Jameis has been back or get an offensive coordinator in there that call build off the current scheme. The offense still can't run the ball, but that's a talent on the o-line issue, but the pass game has actually been great except for Detroit game. He's completed 70% of his passes for 1200+ yard with 8 TDs to 2 INTs and a rating of like 100+ since coming back, the fumbling is still an issue cause he's either getting blindsided and losing the ball or he stays in the pocket too long trying to keep the play alive.
Licht got his fukkin' work cut out for him, cause they're keeping him as well for the last year of his deal.
We got damn near 70 mil in cap space, he better fix both fukkin' lines
