Jack's coming back

Jacksonville State coach Jack Crowe has signed a new, five-year contract to remain with the Gamecocks, according to today's Anniston Star (sorry, subscribers only).

The story says Crowe will earn a base salary of $150,000, with incentives for academic and athletic performance, including bonuses for winning conference and national titles. Crowe is 43-34 at JSU, and is coming off four straight winning seasons. After winning OVC titles in 2003 & '04, the Gamecocks finished 6-5 each of the last two years. Not everyone over at gojaxstate.com is happy about this.
