Matt Rhule's Contract...

[JawnyBlaze]

Tepper knew who he wanted and he paid what it took to get him. How much he spent and how it compares to others is completely meaningless. You can say something about who he chose, sure. But not how much he pays him.

I dont think that Tepper would hesitate to fire Rhule if he loses faith in him. 'Losing' that $$ wont be a factor in his decision.  

[TylerDurden]

Even more disgusting is the fact that he took this offer to the Giants and tried to get them to match it before accepting our offer because he didn't want to be here anyway.

Please go back to college Rhule!

Tepper has been playing with $$$ his whole career. Move it around and gamble on the outcome. He knows how to make a buck and his hedge fund business made him  billions.

I don't see him sticking with a mistake because he overpaid. Fact is, his next moves are totally unpredictable at this point. He may just say fug it and fire everyone next season and start over.

 

Exactly, he can look at the numbers and realize he'd be better off paying Rhule his $50 million left and getting a better coach, who will potentially actually fill the stadium. A half empty stadium for a whole season is probably a bigger loss than just paying off Rhule and moving on. Not that I agree with getting Watson, but Tepper would probably let Watson pick his own head coach if that's what it would take for him to sign here.

Tepper is actually lucky there's so many out of town fans filling up seats and booking hotels to keep the city happy right now. I can't imagine he'd have the balls to ask for a new stadium from tax payers anytime soon

It's Tepper's money.

Right when you have billions...thats more than one lol wtf is 8.5 million. He makes that on interest in his weakest account many times over no doubt.

It’s not so much that it matters that Rhule is one of the highest paid coaches, it’s the fact that it speaks volumes about Tepper as an owner. 
 

On one hand, you can give him kudos that he’s going to spend when he sees something he wants. I guess that’s a good thing. 
 

on the other hand, he falls right in line with most of the worst CEO’s and upper management I’ve seen. Promoting someone to a position of power in a company with no experience or who is under qualified. It’s a classic mistake in the white collar world that many organizations make and Tepper just followed it to a T. 
 

I guess you have to pick whether you are more excited that he will spare no expense or that you are more fearful at his lack of judgement.   I’m the latter.

I've seen this too lately and it is a deviation from how poo used to be. Modern times...just lol sometimes man.

No, but it shows just how damn stupid this move was.  He gave Super Bowl winning money to a guy who had never coached an NFL game. We have a bigger problem here...

I think it's just as likely that Tepper overpaid for his coach because with the salary cap it's one of the few places he can make his wealth matter. I predict as long as Tepper is our owner, whoever our head coach is may be overpaid relative to their prior track record or accomplishments. It's one of the only ways he can leverage his billions that potentially has an impact on on field results.

Now whether he is any good at picking the right head coach is an unrelated matter, but he'll always have the ability to pay a premium to make sure he gets who he wants. You'd likely do the same in his shoes and it would be unrelated to your ability to pick the right coach.

I can’t believe RR is pulling in 7
