DL Coach Hawt Board v2.0

You can break any contract, it has nothing to do with NFL vs college. Break the contract negotiate the settlement somewhere below what the 'damages' would be for breaking the contract. It IS that simple, it happens all the time. Walk out on the Texans or move on to the next candidate. What the fuck are we doing here.

Not having a DL coach in place during last years portal was a disaster and we're doing it again. This is a bad look, if this hire isn't worth the wait Rhule is going to have alot of splain'n to do. Between being at square one in both trenches in year 3 my trust is Rhule is on its last thread, this kind of bullshit is getting old.
Rhule would never, ever ask anyone to do anything like this.

He’s too Nice and cares about Feelings above all else.
 
We do not know if Okam is even the guy. I am going to save my outrage for once we know who the DL coach is and the scenario.

Silverling Corch Rhule is the current DL coach and his hat is on backwards.

@pavelkasuncle any insight on this?
Unless the DL coach is in the CFP with a chance to win it all there is no excuse for this position to be open right now. None.

If they were telling recruits who it is, we'd have already heard more rumblings than this. I doubt they are being told anything besides "we promise he's gonna be good".
 
Lol no it doesn't.
Uh yes it does...... Coaches negotiate contract release in the nfl ALL the time. No they don't just 'break the contract' out of nowhere its more professional than that but yes it abosofuckinglootly does. Hell Belichick even did it when he landed with NE a quarter century ago. There are coaches being released from their NFL contracts as we speak.

He left his former team while they were in the playoffs eh?

I know the story. The season was over he was named HC and resigned the same day.

An assistant coach can't just leave. They have no leverage to get another job later.

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Breaking contracts is not something that happens every day. Nor is it easy like you are saying.

Multiple layers into contracts, negotiating, restructuring and releasing. It is normal easier to negotiate and change at the end of the term. Which in this case is a season.

Breaking a contract would require lawyers, potential litigation etc.

But couldn’t he be announced as coming to Nebraska without breaking the contract? That happens all the time

Depends on what is exactly written in the contract.

Since a contract in this case can’t be sign until the other is terminated it would be wiser not announce anything until the new one is signed.

I would need to look at the actual contract. But usually there is some kind of condition in there where they can’t official accept an offer somewhere else and still coach.

We can hear rumors from agents and other sources but not an official statement
