That shouldn’t be an issue at all. They owe him like $8.8/yr. $5.8 could be below market value based on some of the recent extensions I’ve seen.
WTF are you taking about? The guy was an OT FG from going to the playoffs at Baylor.
Don't waste your braincells arguing them, mate.
These dumbasses still think its 1998 and we can get ANY coach we want not that we're 24-49 in the last 73 games, not made a bowl since 2017 and the laughing stock of college football.
They don’t necessarily control his destiny I don’t believe. I think it depends on how badly they want to go to court to resolve it. Personally I think Rhule’s agent wants a longer term contract with a bigger guarantee
For anyone interested in Rhule offensive philosophy and strategy.
I read the sticking points were over assistant salary pool and the buyout. But a lot of people are just throwing things out there, so who knows.
Buyout on a new contract basically equals length of contract and/or dollar guarantee. That’s the most logical thing all coaches want beyond the biggest annual salary they can get. I commend Trev if he’s trying to keep a contract to a max of 5 years. Anything beyond that and doesn’t make any sense.
The college head coaches I’ve talked to contract length was always a huge deal. They didn’t to have to move their family every couple of years.
You don’t understand how a search is conducted and how much vetting goes on. A search firm often is able to unearth interested candidates that wouldn’t express interest otherwise. Our AD wouldn’t have the resources to contact the number of people the search firm did confidentially let alone properly vet them.
I agree. It's definitely worthwhile IMO to hire a reputable search firm. Saving a few bucks on the search is a fool's savings when you consider all the costs of making the wrong choice.
There’s been a couple of instances lately where coaches have been hired then it came out later that they had some problems that should have eliminated them from the candidate pool. Search firms can help prevent unpleasant surprises
If it really is Rhule I am ok with it. At the very least it means we won’t be scrambling for a desperation hire with all of our main candidates turning us down.
I’m cool with the Rhule. Like going outside for a candidate. I think he can at least get us to middling in the west!
He’s a darned good coach who has coached both O and D line. People need to get it out of their head that there’s a hire who can come in here and turn us in to Alabama in 2-3 years.
I'm sorry, were you right about ANYTHING you posted up to this point? Stop being so ******** delusional. You sound like an Iowa fan.
They had Rhule as a primary target. I don't judge him on his Carolina performance, that program has problems that an HC can't fix.
Rhule has proven to be a good college coach. Not sure if the spread RPO offense he ran at Baylor will work well here, or if he will run more of a power I offense like he did at Temple. But at least he has shown an ability to adapt his offense to the personnel he has.
Cam Newton played uncharacteristically well and the defense was exceptional that season. 2 years later Cam Newton was out of Carolina and Josh Norman, and Luke Kuechly were also out.
Podcast of Rhule talking at a coaching convention. This guy is exactly what Trev is looking for.
I realize everyone has a right to an opinion but so many feeble assumptions are made in this post that makes it easy to dismiss as serious.
There is a large contingency of Husker fans that will be unhappy unless the new coach is Nick Saban or Urban Meyer
Mickey is a great WR coach and recruiting coordinator as well as a good assistant head coach. BUT he's not an OC or head coach. People need to stick with their strengths.
Why not? It’s all we got until a coach is named. What do we talk about? The World Cup? BTW, people who call soccer football should get the perma ban.
He may for $1M a year. I hope Trev puts up about 8-10M a year for assistants salaries.
another thing I'm wondering is I hear rhule hired some high school coaches as assitants, during his rebuilds at temple and baylor.
which makes me wonder if the reason was the coaches or the possible access to the recruits under them coaches? I never followed owl or baylor football or the high schools ties they had.
but if we hire a raolia, maybe it's something to do with connections?
Yes! That would be genius! We are playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers! GBR!
My source told me his source told him the pool is 7 million. 3rd behind OSU and Michigan.
My Father's brother's nephew's uncle's cousin's former roommate is my source. He said Urban Meyer was out at Costco in Lincoln buying Vodka and condoms today.
