This is the point. From Rhule, to Cam, to "Stop Pounding", to bad turf, to a failed practice facility...

Hiring Frank Reich doesnt erase the ways Tepper has dropped the ball. 

I don't really think anybody "loves" Tepper right now.

There are however some of us who think it's at least possible that he just made a major decision without screwing it up.

fug Matt Rhule

This is like me stealing your wallet and then suing you because there isn't enough money in it.

[BigCat#1]

I think Nebraska backloaded the deal to make tepper pay more offset and tepper isn't having that

[BIGH2001]

Rhule is a fuging douche who shouldn’t get another dime from the team ethically. Legally, the panthers have a bit of an uphill battle to fight if the offset clause is clear in the contract. I wouldn’t piss on Rhule if he was on fire but he’ll probably get his money or most of it.

Read above.

Actually sounds like Tepper might have a point.

He's at least got the lawyers at his disposal to at least force an interpretation. Even with the cost of the lawyers this whole thing likely saves Tepper a few million.

[ForJimmy]

Yeah but seriously if he is owed it pay him. Tepper doesn’t want to be in the business of screwing over coaches. We will eventually need to hire another one…

I think the legal dispute here is above board, for the record. basic contract language litigation, and it'll go to an arbitrator, so there will almost certainly be a settlement of some sort.

I just think it reflects poorly on Rhule on a personal level. so in that sense, just add it to the list of other things that have transpired since he left the Panthers.

but overall it's pretty clear there is actual acrimony between Tepper and Rhule. parlor drama, yes, but it does make Tepper's "mistake" comments seem a little more emphatic, doesn't it.

Rhule is literally doing what every other coach would be doing along with everyone on this board.  Tepper owes him.  Saying it reflects poorly on Rhule is just fandom getting in the way IMO.  How bad of a coach Rhule was doesn't really matter. 

Offset clauses are routine.  Tepper owes him.  Tepper just using his big checkbook to pay him less.  Hardly something to celebrate Tepper over.  Part of what is wrong w/ this entire country.  The mega wealthy using their money to screw people over.

Meh, this is literally just two douchebags playing a game.

If Rhules Nebraska contract wasnt backloaded in salary Tepper wouldn't owe him anything, but because his contract escalates every year from 5 million to 12 million by the end then Tepper ends up owing him because of the first few seasons being below what he was being paid here.

He's basically suing to get a free 5 million from Tepper even though his Nebraska contract per  year is higher than the one he signed here.

So true. It’s so funny how hated he is that people think he should just walk away from money he’s likely owed. I assume the $5M is the difference from his overall contract amount minus what he was already paid and his Nebraska deal. It’s offset language meaning he can’t get from Tepper what Nebraska is paying him but I’d think his contract says he gets the difference assuming Nebraska pays him less. If I’m owed $5M, I’m going to try and get it unless I breached the contract, which he didn’t.

LOL, there’s even people saying he stole money from “us” so he should just go away. As if someone other than Tepper paid him.

Apparently there are grown ass men concerned with how Tepper spends his money. They're also grown ass men who think that it's OK to call Rhule everything but a son of God because he's a bad pro football coach. They're also grown men who think it's OK tell people "fug you," because they supported Rhule, and grown men who have the nerve to tell people what and what not to poo on when half of the poo they do is just poo on people's posts.

I would like for one of these grown ass men to tell me why I or anyone should care about whether Tepper has to pay Rhule. Why do you care, motherfugers? Why? Are you that damned petty? Why do you not think it's a good idea to put this thing to bed and move on? Do you have a mature response, much less anything credible to say as to why Tepper paying Rhule five million dollars bothers you so damned much that you'd poo a post on a message board?
