Nebraska announces salaries for Matt Rhuleās coaching staff
The University of Nebraska recently announced the contract and salary details for offensive coordinator and quarterbackās coach Glenn Thomas.sports.yahoo.com
The $9.25mm is the average of Rhule's contract over its eight year term. It his heavily backloaded because apparently he, his agent, and the folks at kNU thought they could minimize the impact of the offset language in his contract with Carolina. Unfortunately for them they chose the wrong dog with whom to pick a fight.
I don't disagree. But the question under discussion is whether there is a coach who gets fired from his old gig and immediately is paid top dollar by a new employer. Rhule's contract at kNU doesn't quite make it. That's not to say that he doesn't have tremendous success and get a revised contract that puts him at or near the top, but he wasn't there out of the box.
it's because of the housing costs in LA. He needs the extra money.
Somewhere, Woody Hayes just rolled his eyes.
Always has been since day 1. Unfortunately many seem to ignore it or not see it. We are lucky to have him.
What money? Carolina isn't paying him. If Nebraska fires him, he gets 90% of his base. Right now he makes somewhat more than half of what Riley does and a mil and a quarter less than Franklin.
After a win he probably is not as good as we think. Just like after a loss he is probably not as bad.
I heard that before from someone.

I don't think i've ever heard a player honor and acknowledge a coach like Drew did here. Glowing would be an understatement.

The decision from yesterday that I keep coming back to is kicking the game tying FG with the ball on the 1.
I get it. But at the same time, do we really not go for the lead in that situation, and if we donāt convert, USC is working out of their end zone? Hmmmā¦
I didnāt like that call at the time, and even with the W, Iām still not sure I like it.
I think they had to go for the 4th and 7. Properly recognized as a do-or-die drive. The FG kick at the 1 was the one where I was like, āReally? We canāt dial up anything to grind out 1 yard for the lead?ā
Saturday's win was nice, but if I had to compare it to one other individual game, it would be 2016 Minnesota (also an OT game).
Will history repeat, as regards the Buckeyes and a potential B1G title? We'll know more in 3 weeks.
- A game Franklin HAD to win or else he might seriously start feeling his seat get hot.
- A game where it wasn't looking particularly good for in the 1st half (Minnesota led 13-3 at the half), PSU had a barn-burner of a 3rd quarter, than it was nip-and-tuck the entire 4th.
- A game that has the POTENTIAL to be a springboard to build the team's confidence and get them on a roll.
- A game where the PSU QB had their best yardage performance to date, and also had a key, clutch 4th quarter drive with a couple memorable big plays.
- A game that was scheduled THREE WEEKS BEFORE a home game vs Ohio State.

Franklin went from being booed in the 1st half of that game to being heralded after we won the B1G Championship in Indy.

So you like Narduzzi? That's the model available in that price range. In my opinion, all things being equal, in today's college game you get what you pay for. For example how long does a winning 5M coach stay around, when he's offered 8 elsewhere?
Also, would PSU be in a better place if they could compete with NIL money? Imagine this team with 2 elite WRs to compliment Warren. Look, I'm an old timer....don't like the current landscape...but if you want to eat with the big boys, you need to ante up. I'm talking facilities, coaches salaries and NIL. I can't think of any field of endeavor where employees are motivated to show they can do a better job than their competitors for less compensation.
I'll agree working conditions can factor in, to a certain degree. That's why (according to N. Singleton's Dad) some don't leave for the highest bid. But you must "be in the ballpark. "
I think one reason PSU has kept its top talent from leaving is the excellent record this staff has for putting players in the NFL.
Just my 2 cents.
Not sure why this team can't start fast (side note that OPI was a f-in joke so that plays a part), but I saw one area where CJF improved yesterday. He got aggressive near the end on those 4th downs. He still had some crap clock management and I don't like the way they are using Pribula right now. Yes it worked on the Warren play but ONLY because Warren is god and made an insane play. My issue with the Pribula plays are that Allar is (save that one insane catch) taken out of the play on almost all the others so you are playing 10 vs 11. Put them both in the backfield for f--ks sake. Then he goes with 09 on the first play of overtime? Why? If you are going to play for the FG just use Nicky and Kaytron.
So overall, one big step in the right direction, but still some stuff to sort out. Continue to seem to be bringing the sloppiness down which is also a good sign.

I didn't argue against anything you said. I simply said that a lot of coaches know the Xs and Os. What makes a coach worth his money is his ability to attract top talent.
It wasn't my intent to express anything but my view on the current state of affairs in college football. If I had my druthers, Joe would still be the coach and PSU would be lining up in the "I." It certainly wasn't my intent to take a shot at you.
I didn't see that until after my OP. I would definitely have made that No. 4
Figures 12am doesn't understand what was meant from the ground up....post sanctions and the reset PSU had. Add in trying to modernize the $taff and other things around the program. PSU still has work to do, but some still want to pretend that JF is a bad thing for PSU.
Reminds me of the baseball executive who said if you start listening to the fans you will soon be sitting next to them.
Well the haters will come crawling out of the wood work like cock roaches. Predictable as the sun rising in the East.
