Matt Rhule reportedly declines Nebraska job

He posted this before claiming the hire had been made on 10/18 FWIW

Okay, now I missed that one. Gosh darn fraud, sick twisted bastard.

Why do we insist on posting public information and general discussion threads in tPB Underground?

More broadly: why are people with no actual inside info allowed to start threads in tPB Underground? Starting threads there should probably be something that only mods & admins have permission for.

I agree 100% but not until they fix the site access issues. Having to switch to a new VPN server every 60 seconds in order to use this site is infuriating and I'm so wrapped up in this stupid coaching search I put up with it.

I've seen his posts in other threads and now that someone else says that Rhule isn't the guy he's all I told you Rhule wasn't the guy he did the same thing with Mickey when someone said he wasn't the guy either.

 

[MtnHusker]

maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but that sounds a lot like Rhule is getting the word out that he's willing to sit out a year to get leverage on Carolina

What leverage? He's getting paid $8.875 million/yr with Carolina. If rumors of Lane getting around $10 or more are true then don't you think Rhule would command at least $8.875 Million or more? We should be paying Top 10 money for a coach as we want to compete and have deep pockets. Plus we have some boosters who have supposedly want us to aim high.

 

[Carm]

this is so stupid. A smokeshow that makes you look like you failed? Geez.

If you had #2ndChoice wrapped last month there's no need for a smoke show. You just keep your mouth shut.

That goes for anyone other guy you argue was wrapped a month ago

the leverage of sitting out a year and making them pay the full amount. the more likely they think that is the better the odds of negotiating a lump sum payout

outkick? ya, dont believe anything clay travis is associated with. will wait for someone more credible

 

[skersker]

I disagree I actually have some close ties to outkick and they are solid. FWIW one of their shows had Coke Cubelic of the SEC network on yesterday and he was hinting that it may be Fickle to Nebraska. Again, TIFWIW

Lmao

I trust a few of our Insiders on this board than anyone in the Media. Only reason media will learn anything is if Turd wants to put out some smoke. Some of our connections to top level boosters, legal team and administration should know more than a writer in New York. Only way I see them having more inside info is if they are working the agents angle and have a connection that is leaking info. And we have some connections to that world also which haven't given us anything solid yet.

Either David Tepper ( Panthers owner ), who we know is an ego maniac with "fuck you" money, is playing hardball with Turd and wants the full 10m / year as a contract for Rhule, or it's all a smokescreen and we really have him locked up .. I'm not sure who to believe at this point.

 

[Bootleg11]

Man I love that movie

 

[Napkins]

I agree, I think he locked up Fickle a long time ago.

It would be interesting, if this is true, to know what role Urban may or may not have played as an intermediary. If his being involved in the search and around Turd in the time since had anything to do with next steps moving forward, setting things up. Regardless of who is hired I am curious about what has been going on but that would be really interesting.

I have no trust in Urban as an intermediary/consultant for Turd after the role he played with Addazio at Colorado State - that one didn't work out to well for the Rams

 

[CornFed Gregger]

I can get all the cloak & daggers with Rhule & negotiations but let’s say it’s urban, why use Rhule as a smokescreen? Even with fickle, what’s the incentive to keep it in the dark? Is it to avoid a bidding war

I might be wrong, but I’m just missing how Carolina would have that much control over what Rhule’s next employer pays him. They can dispute it not being “fair market value,” but I’m missing how that challenge would kill this entire deal. Maybe a snag, sure. But the idea that Carolina basically stopped us from getting our top candidate is something I don’t believe to be true. I think there’s another explanation.

Yeah, I'm not sure how Rhule's contract was worded with Carolina as well. I'd think a dispute like fair market value could be settled in court, but going through the litigation process would take much longer than the necessity of Nebraska needing a coach very soon ..

That’s the thing… you’d think litigation would happen AFTER we employed him and not before. The point of contention isn’t his employment, it’s the rate of pay.

Unless I got a hard stop from counsel, I’d proceed and let those claims be settled in court later. Carolina can’t stop him from working.

If he’s your top guy, go get this deal closed.

Go advise Turd this, and lets get this fucking deal done ! LOL
