I wonder who Penn St would go after if he left.

he's done this beforeProbably fed to the media by Franklin's allies, looking for an easy raise. BTW - if this season continues to go well Nebraska is going to need to give Rhule a raise asap. It's embarrassing some of the names that make more than him in this conference.
Rhule's year 1 salary was pretty middle of the pack, but his contract provides for pretty lucrative annual escalations - he's up to $8.5 mil by 2026 and $10 mil by 2027 which I think would rank him pretty high in the BG10. Guessing a back end loaded deal with NU was a tax planning strategy given the huge buyout he got from Carolina. No one likes to pay income taxes, not even rich football coaches.Probably fed to the media by Franklin's allies, looking for an easy raise.

Wasn't his contract back-loaded to get a bit more money out of Carolina?Probably fed to the media by Franklin's allies, looking for an easy raise.

Sounds like it. Also looks like a huge buyout, so I'm not too worried about him leaving anytime soon.Wasn't his contract back-loaded to get a bit more money out of Carolina?
Uhhh … no.At this point, don’t care if Rhule left because then Tony could step in
I agree … the moves he made before were not destinations. Temple??? Baylor??? If he starts winning no one could outbid us for his services so the only reason to leave is lack of support (if something were to change) or sentimental connection (psu).We can only hope Rhule is being truthful when he says he wants to be here a long time. I know his track record is to keep moving, but I'm hopeful we got him at a good time. He now knows he's not a pro-coach and what resources he has here. Those resources will explode if he starts winning. His family seems to love it and I think he wants to raise his young daughters here.
Time will tell.
