Matt Rhule's new buyout is $71MM! Dude is 0-18 vs ranked opponents at Baylor and Nebraska

Only if he’s fired this year. Not a horrible move if they aren’t planning on firing him
 





I agree with the free market, but this coaching value is insane, I don’t know at what point it all goes to sh@t, but it has to, doesn’t it. Paying these coaches insane salaries, paying players, allowing transfers, year after year.
The product on the field hasn’t suffered, to me anyway, but I don’t think it will sustain itself long term.

I don’t understand why people hate the free market

The nfl should get their monopoly lifted so this happens there too.


Why are people against the workers getting compensated?

We're against singular mediocre performing people getting far more money than they deserve based on name recognition when the real value comes from the players.

This also goes for CEOs in the corporate world versus the far less compensated and protected people who do the actual creative and technical work that makes the organization succeed.

The head coach isn't calling the plays, he's not the main recruiter, and he's not the guy most players typically have their closest relationship with.

Nebraska football would be better off with a great FCS coach making $1-2M and spending $10M a year on players

More than they deserve is super subjective

Nebraska sells 80k tickets for 100 bucks each for 7 games for 40 years straight

He isn’t overpaid

The market is stupid but that’s the market

Do you feel that way about Scott Frost? Most of that was built on the backs of Devanney and Osborne.

Well this is more of a political discussion.
But yeah, I feel like the market is whatever the market is willing to pay.

Hundreds of others would’ve taken less to be the coach


Someone said the market comes from the players.
Asinine. The G league teams would beat 99% of college basketball teams and I can’t name a single team.
The thing that brings value to college football is the institutions.
Most CFL teams Would beat most college football teams but they have far less value

Agree
And people would be better off buying a 15k sedan rather than a 50k truck yet here we re

Agreed, the market is what people are willing to pay. Now if some schools and their fanbases are upset that they can’t afford the price, that’s a you problem that those schools and fanbases need to address with fundraising for their programs. It isn’t the responsibility of financial successful programs to lower the market prices to make the other schools more competitive
 







0-18 through the first 3 seasons at a school is not unprecedented vs ranked opponents.

Fleck was 2-7 through 3 seasons.
Ferentz was 1-11 through 3 seasons
