Coaches don't count against the cap so who cares, pay the money.

Get fired, retire, win

This is basically a message to Tepper if you want me you better pay me.

 

This. If he can get Tepper on the hook for $15M per then he can go shopping with it.

[TheBigKat]

You can remove the Commanders, Bears and Chargers paying that price

[Steelo]

Should be an easy bar to reach, the language is gonna be something though.  Has to have security THROUGH 3 years atleast.  I say 4-5 year deal, with year 4 in mind for an extension.  Just pay him 15-17.5M per and be done with it.  Still won't guarantee he comes here but 15M is gonna be steep for other ownership groups to be willing to shell out for a new HC.  Our owner is brazzen enough to do it without thinking twice, for better or for worse.

I couldn't remember what Tepper gave Rhule. It was $60M over 7 years. He got fired and got a raise with $74M over 8 years at Nebraska. Imagine making that much money not even being very good at something. Damn.

3 years guaranteed contract, re-up after 2 if things are looking good. It would still be less than you paid the moron Rhule and Frankie.

when Dipper pays that kinda of money..hes gonna want a superbowl run with this talent depleted team.. LOL...thats his dysfunction.... we need a good coach, see progress, continuity and stability and build for the future which is 3 years out...if he does everything right from this point on.... hes a stock trader and nfl teams don't react like that....i don't think he will be patient enough....but he absolutely needs to get rid of fitterererer whos been lying to his azz since hes been here... Homer Simpson needs to have a comming to Jesus meeting with himself....

This.  Tepper can pay the next dude a billion dollars for all I care.  That money doesn't impact anything.

He will get $15 million but it won’t be here. He’s not dumb enough to work for Tepper 

[SazmoRanger]

Everyone knows he’s so f*cking desperate for Ben’s Johnson that Ben’s people are saying 15mil so he can settle for $13mil from the Chargers haha 

[T-Wazzle]

His agent saying not true...who knows.

Why when they can more than likely get Jim for less or similar on a longer contract. Jim gonna have that Michigan deal to leverage as well.

Rhule did the same thing using the Giants.
