Idaho coach Robb Akey was asked about a possible contract extension this morning, and he said he’s talked to athletic director Rob Spear about it. “We’re going to get together at the end of the season and I look forward to that conversation,” he said. Akey is in the third year of a five-year deal. A couple weeks ago I asked Spear about this, and here’s what he said: “Coach Akey and I are focusing one game at a time and when appropriate we will have that discussion”/ Sportslink .

Question: Are you worrying (as I am) that the Vandals are going to lose football coach Robb Akey in a year or two, if he continues to be successful in Moscow?
