[Rapoport] Giants Turned Down Offer To Match Panthers Deal For Matt Rhule

[bobsfoodbasics]

sounds like the Giants are putting on some serious spin this morning

 

[DFive]

If true, they likely didn’t want to get in a bidding war. But it is kinda a turn off to be like, “Hey, this place is about to swoop me up, what you gonna offer?” Maybe they couldn’t compete with Tepper, maybe they didn’t want the sloppy seconds. Only time will tell who made the right hire, if there was a right hire made....

That's a big oof if true

[Mr. Scot]

That scares me a little.

Sounds like Tepper is putting a huge amount of money into an unproven commodity.

Sure hope it works.

Nate Burleson said he bets Rhule closed on Tepper and not the other way around.

Sure looks like he was right.

Dude is with worth > 2x more than Jerry Jones. Coach salary is like him leaving a tip at Waffle House.

Sounds more like Gettleman doesn't like anyone doubting or questioning him in any way, so he's trying to spin it like he got the guy he really wanted.  Huge ego.  Huge tool.

I think it’s all just Giants looking to save face. Their owners interview after the season and the pressure they all have up there was obvious. Also the narrative they and the media built around Rhule dreaming of being the Giants coach after his one year of being the O line coach tried to make them sound inevitable. I wouldn’t trust much coming out of NY.

If I was in a position to get paid between 2 potential employer, I'm going to try to maximize my salary.

Tepper will officially be the next Dan Synder if this flops. This feels a lot like the Steve Spurrier hiring.

[Mr. Scot]

Now that we know what that offer was, can't say I blame them. That's a crazy salary for a guy with that little NFL experience.

Other NFL teams are probably not so happy with us right now (especially the Browns).

I'm not worried about Tepper's wallet.

I'm worried about whether this will be a good investment.

It comes out of his wallet, not the salary cap.  Tepper made billions on the stock market.  The only way you do that is by dumping losers.  If this doesn't' work out, he eats 40 million of his worth and hires another coach.  He isn't going to keep him on for 7 years if it isn't working because he is afraid to cut bait.  His current job does precisely that, cut bait when it isn't working and move on.
