House Rhules podcast with Matt Rhule

I think it really depends how the next few years go and how hard the job is on him. If we are winning and recruiting at a high level, I could see him staying into his early 60s. If it is a grind like it has been for the last 10 years, he may move on sooner.

He would have stayed at Baylor. He liked it there. Son of a preacher. From what I kinda remember, 2 or 3 NFL teams were blowing up his phone on the regular. The opportunity to become head coach in the NFL and boat loads of money was just too difficult to pass up. It's not like he just wanted to go from school to school to school. It was the NFL that got him.
 
I think he's authentic.

In that way completely the opposite of Jirk Fairyntz. That guy (with the help of a compliant media) has crafted an image of himself which is the opposite of truth. An egomaniac who takes credit for what others have done. If a piano fell on him I would laugh.

Hard to tell anymore. The status, salary, and endorsement opportunities in college these days might outweigh the NFL. Matt Rhule is making close to what Nick Sirianni -- coach of the world champion Philadelphia Eagles -- makes at $7.1 million. 10 college football coaches currently make $10 million+ a year, not including Aflac commercials. I'm betting Urban Meyer wishes he'd passed up his NFL gig. At least Rhule's bad Caroliina experience didn't hurt him in his return to college ball.

Man, What could Meyer get right now? 13+ million a year in college?

I know he likes what he is doing right now but that kind of money, for a few years, would be tough to pass up.

Colleges do pay coaches really well these days absolutely right. All I remember is he doubled his salary after the 2019 season from 4 mil to 8.5 per year by going to the NFL. My point was that it's hard to say no that kind of opportunity lol.

I don't remember well, but I do think NU ate some of his 60 million contract from Carolina.

Not sure, but my understanding was that Rhule's Carolina contract allowed him to make the same money, whether he coached Nebraska that first season or not. i.e. he could have waited a year and spent more quality time with his family, but jumped on the Nebraska job and all the work that came with it.

I am sooo glad he jumped on the NU job. Was a great decision!

The other way around. Nebraska didn't have to pay him as much because Carolina is still paying the difference between what NU pays him and what he is supposed to be getting paid from Carolina.
