House Rhules podcast with Matt Rhule

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.


Yep. Rhule had to go to arbitration for some of this too because Carolina was being difficult to deal with, but ultimately the contract we signed him to helped us and him.

We signed him on an escalating eight year contract worth only $5.5mil the first year, up to $12.5m in the final year, so we get a cheaper bill for all the remaining years of his Carolina contract buyout where they have to pay the difference between what we're paying him and the $8.5m yearly on the Carolina contract.
 
Newest episode is pretty long, but some really good discussion on things like rev-share, NIL, etc.

Also some interesting food takes from Andy and Ari.
 



Coach Rhule and Yahoo Sports’ Senior Writer, Dan Wolken talk horses, football, and the lost art of talking to people in real life. Cuz also toasts the win over Michigan State with a frosty cold Outlaw Light, and Coach talks about the crab cake situation in Maryland as the Huskers look ahead to their next Big Ten matchup.
 



Amazon’s Thursday Night Football analysts, the co-host of the Fitz & Whit podcast, and football legends, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth land on the pod to chop it up with Coach Rhule. This episode has everything. Hot Dog Cannons. Runzas. Kenneth Williams getting a scholarship. A toast with Outlaw Beer. What more could you want from a podcast?
 
Oh no! The podcast! Won't someone think of the children?!



No one hates to lose more than Coach. This week, we talk about putting it behind you and attacking the game in front of us this weekend versus a tough Northwestern team. We’re also sharing a special interview Coach did with Motorola Solutions CEO, Greg Brown, last summer. It’s full of wisdom and insight into leadership, communication, and where to get the best Italian food in New York City.
 
As someone who has been and still is a HC...this weird idea that they are also a "CEO" and blah blah blah, is so stupid.

We have business owners on this site and I can't imagine they think of their business as a Texasing sports team. Business owners do real work.

I think there are two styles to coaching, especially at the upper levels. The CEO types manage their group of assistants and hold them accountable for the reults. Those assistants have more freedom to think and creatively do their job. The control freaks try to do everything themselves and just use their assistants to help carry out their specific directions. Those assistants are more scape goats when things go wrong imo. Both can work but I believe in todays game, the CEO types are becoming more common.

I guess, but then you are not really coaching.

So you are either a coach or you are not a coach.

crap, I have had team moms that did most of my "non-coaching" crap for me before.

Me too. I relied on moms handling admin stuff I didn't have time for or just didn't want to do. I was/am a control freak simply because I struggle to get assistant coaches to share my vision and communicate it effectively to the team. I think the CEO idea works if you can get assistants with the right skillset and motivation. Dana for instance, should be better at being an OC since he doesn't have to think about defense, special teams, or admin crap.

My question is Dana being "allowed" to be what he is at OC or is Rhule or Dylan limiting what can be part of the playbook? How much of the playbook has changed since Satterfield?

Great question. I think there will always be player limiting factors but how much is Rhule dictating what happens on offense? I'm guessing he is pushing the run more than Dana would naturally use it here recently.
