... May 23, 2007: Randy Wittman is signed to a three-year, nearly $5 million contract. On one hand, signing a coach to a multi-year contract lets him know management has confidence in him.

I haven't heard of any other teams bidding Wittman's price up, so I can only imagine that McHale and Taylor's decision to commit that much money to a coach with no real success in his career was mostly a country club decision. ...
