Rhules Contract.

[TLGPanthersFan]

I didn’t really pay attention to the Rhules contract details after he was hired, but now I am curious about how much of Rhules contract is guaranteed so I looked it up. 
Wow, the entire 60 million, up to 70 million, is guaranteed. 
How stupid can you be to give a college coach so much guaranteed money? 
So unless Tepper buys out his contract or, I guess, Rhule leaves on his own. We are stuck with him no matter what happens. SMH. Hope the guy improves then. 

[Rags]

Remember when we hired this guy and we said "yeah give him 3 years at least." But then we start acting like this.

 

Yeah I remember.

I want a cage match between the Deshaun to Carolina vs Rhule to Penn State camps

both want it to happen so bad.

*just a random thought*

any who this is a long project not a short fix like Green Bay when McCarthy got canned

I guess when you are worth 14 Bs, 60 mil aint really that big of a deal.

I am in neither. But this contract is so bad and unnecessarily long.

Was an incredibly stupid contract...but it's Tepper's money so whatever.

Who cares?  His contract doesn't affect the Panthers.  I'm pretty sure Tepper would have no issue firing him if it came down to that.  Tepper doesn't strike me as someone who would hold onto a bad investment over a mere millions of dollars.

(Not that I want Rhule to get fired.  I think the hate he's getting is unnecessary.  Hard to win with a piss poor QB.  He 100% deserves blame for hedging his bets on Darnold, but he deserves another offseason to correct the issue).

So? It doesn’t go against the cap and Dave has more than enough to pay out.

Im not saying you are panicking but it seems a lot of folks panic like it effects the roster cap.

It wasn't a good contract but Hurney was GM and in the room with Tepper and Rhule so this is what you get.

Facts. Those stories Tepper was telling about Hurney eating meatballs were gutwrenching. What a couple of idiots.

Hurney is the gift that just keeps giving... Years after he's gone we will still be frustrated by him.

Look at some of the guys still here hired by him and what they do...

That was Teppers biggest mistake, not firing Hurney with Ron and now his stink still lingers.

Tepper isn't stuck with Rhule.   He can still eat his contract.  Especially if this shitshow starts to drag down revenues in a big way. 

and while these contracts are all guaranteed, they also have offset clauses.  So if you fire him and he goes to coach at Penn St for example.  You aren't paying him the full amount.  Just the difference.
