The money part of firing Rhule

[Chiefzack]

If Tepper decided to pull the plug after this season, a big consideration is Matt Rhule is due 5 years 100% guaranteed at $10 million... so 50 million

If I'm not mistaken, those buyouts usually don't equal "coach gets a check" there's terms that usually say if terminated, you can accept this lump sum amount or get payments of the remaining balance over 10-12 years, but if you accept payments you cannot accept another job.

 

I'm just wondering if Matt's contract is as iron clad as made out? Usually most coaches don't ever usually get 100% of that guaranteed amount unless they take payments, so they get a lump sum of 50-60%.

I will pack Rhule's bags and drive his ass out of here myself.

Honestly I have no clue and I don't give a fug. $50M is less than half a percent of Tepper's net worth.

I think Rhule is coach next season…Joe Brady probably goes

Yes, it is.

That said, Big Dave don't give a flying F***...

...paying Rhule out is akin to loose change under the car seats for him.

See ya...

Personally I would keep Matt Rhule and just let Joe Brady go.

It doesn't matter at all and I just hope Tepper learned from  his first attempt.

I understand that we are not getting out from under the 100% guaranteed.

What I'm wondering is did Rhules agent put a clause in where he gets paid 100% of the remaining contract if he gets fired?

We might be able to get out at 50-60% if he took a lump sum if he has to take payments.

What is it that anyone has seen up to this point that indicates Rhule will finally figure it all out if he's given more time/another season?  

I'm just not seeing anything that suggests Rhule is growing into his job as a head coach.  Quite the contrary in fact, it appears to me that this team and Rhule are regressing.

Does not matter, at all...

Who do you suggest should replace the Head Ball Coach Matt Rhule?

As far as Rhule's contract, it simply shouldn't make a big difference in Tepper's decision making process.  The amount of money we're talking about amounts to almost nothing in terms of Tepper's net worth.
