Not smart at all backloading the contract like that. That's a huuge buyout if he doesn't work out. We're stuck with him for 5 years no matter how good or bad he does.

There's a difference between cheap and stupid.So much for Trev going cheap
The Panthers are paying him $12 million spread out over the first 3 years according to Sipple and Callahan.
Yup, I thought the Nebraska AD was smarter than that.
Since you are paying Rhule roughly 50% more than Fickell, you must expect he will win roughly 50% more than Wisconsin over the next four years. Right?
I am pretty sure the buyout goes down as the salary escalates. It actually makes total sense.Not smart at all backloading the contract like that. That's a huuge buyout if he doesn't work out. We're stuck with him for 5 years no matter how good or bad he does.
The buyout goes down if Rhule decides to leave. If he’s fired, I'm sure we'll have to pay the full remaining amount on his contract.I am pretty sure the buyout goes down as the salary escalates. It actually makes total sense.

And the Panthers are helping to pay for the first 3 years of the contract on the front end. Nebraska is paying Rhule only $5.5 million in year one, so the Panthers are kicking in a decent amount.The buyout goes down if Rhule decides to leave.

That doesn't help us in terms of buyout. In fact, probably makes it worse unless we're squirreling away the money we're saving now. I doubt this is the case though.And the Panthers are helping to pay for the first 3 years of the contract on the front end.

The fact that someone else is paying probably nearly half the first year's salary, and a decent portion of year two. is a pretty big deal. The fact that Alberts was able to negotiate that is pretty impressive. Regardless if the money is being squirreled away or being spent elsewhere is irrelevant. It is money not coming from the athletic department. Additionally, the next TV contact goes into effect next year, so while the Panthers help pay the salary of the Nebraska football coach, the revenue Nebraska earns increases.That doesn't help us in terms of buyout.

Not really, it means nothing. The backloaded contract and thus big buyout resulting is much more consequential.The fact that someone else is paying probably nearly half the first year's salary, and a decent portion of year two. is a pretty big deal.

His buyout after 3 years is half of what JIMBO’s is now. I’m not wild about it but that’s what is going on in the market place.I am pretty sure the buyout goes down as the salary escalates. It actually makes total sense.
Just curious, how bored do you have to be to dig up a post from half a year ago?I couldn't resist chiming in on this a bit outdated discussion, sorry.
I totally get where you're coming from, and I can see how backloading a contract could be risky. That being said, I think it's important to remember that Matt Rhule is a proven coach with a lot of potential, so it might end up being a smart move in the long run.
