Carey’s contract expiration date is 6-30-2020.

I think the effective date of his contract might be when STF gets a new job

Thank you. I was finally able to find his original contract and amendment:

Carey Contract

His original contract went until June 30, 2018. Based on a 2014 amendment, he was given an extension to June 30, 2019. So now, if it ends on June 30, 2020, he was given another one-year extension.

I think it’s dumb to think his contract matters. He won’t get fired no matter how much he’s hated. We’ve gone this route before. The real question is who will be his successor. Who can keep us relevant and moving up the midmajor ladder......?

His contract does matter because he won't get fired while he has an active contract with a buyout clause. The extension means that he's ours for an extra year. Nothing will be done now until 6/30/20 - if even then.

Let me sum up the board

Non Me: Childers sucks

Me: Maybe he is not the only problem

Non Me: Childers is the root of all evil

Me: Maybe we have to look somewhere else for a problem, you know the guy who makes 500,000 a year instead of the red shirt freshman who was thrown into the fire

Non Me: If Childers only can complete those hail Mary's NIU will be awesome

Me: NIU's problems go deeper than NIU completing desperation passes


People are sleep walking and finding an easy guy to attack with Childers. It reminds me of all those drunk Bear fans who ALWAYS ALWAYS call for the backup QB to play. The backup QB is always the best player in the world. People are not even looking at the source of the problem which is not Childers. I just get extremely frustrated at destroying a kid who was put in a tremendously non-ideal situation. It sickens me

That’s where your argument defies logic, and is filled with contradictions. You complain that Childers development was slowed because “he was thrown in the fire”. Just the opposite happened he was introduced to the starting role at he weakest part of the schedule. You say he had valuable reps taken away; again just the opposite, he will quite possibly enter his sophomore season with more game reps than any other Soph QB in the program’s history. You claim the offensive scheme is too conservative, when in actuality Childers was given every opportunity to make plays last season; sometimes he did, many times he didn’t; that is part of the development process... stick with your QB through thick and thin. Carey has done just that with Childers. Bottom line, I am the idiot for trying to reason with you.

EXACTLY!!!

On the bright side, admitting this is the first step....

Why do you rush to MD's defense like he's a child? No one's taking personal shots at him or bullying. It's standard dogpund stuff. MD says something MDish. Posters prove him wrong. He ignores facts and blames Carey. It's filler until there actually stuff to talk about.

Can we get some “ I’m on my MD-Ish” T-shirts made for the season opener? Or random MD quotes for the Dogpound section to wear....

It would be so sweet if Childers does well.
I want a great 2018 season with NIU back on the national stage.

Assuming all of the above to be accurate and true, what reason or justification is there for the last extension?
We went from 5-7 to 8-5, from 5-3 (third in the MAC West) to 6-2 (tied for second), from no bowl to a 36-14 thumping by a beatable Duke team, from no post-season victory to the fifth bowl loss under Carey, from using the last holdovers to an entire roster of Rod Carey's recruiting, from his fourth full year to his fifth; why did the existing contract have to be amended when he still had 2018 and 2019 owed to him?
