Tice will make $1million in 2005 - ESPN

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Tice will return for at least one more year.

Owner Red McCombs told Tice in a phone call Monday that he would pick up the coach's $1 million option for 2005. The Vikings have lost six of their last nine games, but at 8-7 still have a shot at the playoffs.

"Although our expectation of winning the division was not met, we feel that the program Mike Tice has guided gives us the talent base to have to success today and in the future," McCombs said in a statement. "Our expectations are high for the upcoming playoffs and for next year."

Tice would have become a free agent Jan. 31 if the club had not exercised the option by Saturday -- one day before the team's regular-season finale at Washington. The extension ends much speculation about Tice's future.

Tice is 23-25 since replacing Dennis Green before the last game of the 2001 season.

"I think it will be good for the players, because they won't have to hear [about the contract] all week," Tice said.

The Vikings can clinch a wild-card berth, and end a three-year playoff drought, with a St. Louis loss Monday night. They also could make the playoffs outright with a victory at Washington.
