From Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News:

Jackson said Tippett has earned that trust. After five seasons with the Stars, he has the best regular season winning percentage (.632) among active NHL coaches and is coming off a playoff where he helped the Stars get to the Western Conference finals.

This extension is very well deserved. Tippett has turned the Stars into bona-fide Stanley Cup contenders for this upcoming season.
