Idaho State football coach Mike Kramer’s three-year contract extension was approved by the Idaho State Board of Education on Thursday in Boise.

Nice that Mike is trying to cut his assistant coaches in on things.

I remember getting ripped for saying this when I was there, but you have an A.D. in Jeff Tingey that wants to be there, grew up in the area, and genuinely cares about Idaho State and Pocatello. He's a homegrown guy who takes pride in his work, and has done about as well as you can with the facilities there, and now when ISU loses a coach or administrator, it's because they move to a bigger school (say Jan McMillin, see me, see Quinton Freeman among others). He lets coaches coach and workers work, but he makes sure it's done right.

I remember the whole "he's Kent's son" argument and thinking folks had it all wrong. Jeff keeps this up and it will go from "he's Kent's son" to "he's Jeff's father".

The pay raise is a modest one that doesn't break the bank, but rewards his efforts and is great to see, as is the multi-year contract. Couldn't be happier for the guy, or the school. It's nice to see hard work rewarded.

He's going to go down as one of the best A.D.'s that school has ever had, and I'm kind of an expert since I worked for almost half of them (5 of 12).

I agree. Both deserved a raise, and I hope the assistants and other athletic staff members get a raise too. The whole athletic dept. Is something to be proud of right now. If we can pull in a few better hoops recruits, next year could be one of the best overall for athletics in a long time. Proud of ISU and the leadership & coaches!
