Matt Rhule

[WestTnVFL971]

Could anyone honestly enjoy coaching the Carolina Panthers? Would he listen to a UT offer? He has experience coaching both sides of the ball and has been a recruiting coordinator. It’s a little far fetched, but could it work?

We need someone who’s coached college football can recruit and knows how to manage an SEC program

Way too far fetched but why not try?

Matt Rhule would be a HR hire. Doubt he’s leaving after one year.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Matt Rhule is in his first year of an NFL job. The Panthers are trending in the right direction. He is an NFL guy, which sucks because he was great for college football.

He has coached college football and has experience recruiting players to several different programs including Temple and Baylor. He hasn’t been in the SEC but I he has had big coaching gigs. Cut his teeth coaching about the time UT won the natty so he probably would view it as a pretty good job.

I’m not saying he’s lining up outside the stadium begging for the job but he’s making about 8 million per year. If UT would get serious about winning is it possible that he prefers the college game to the pros?

If he did, he wouldn’t be in the pros.

I don't think it would work, I've never seen 2 head coaches work alongside each other in the SEC.

We have to get rid of cornbread first... Next year

Are you suggesting managing an SEC football team is a bigger deal than managing an NFL team?

 

[VOLfrombama]

We wouldn't be lucky enough to hire Rhule.

Hard pass

The NFL thought he was good enough but he’s a “hard pass” for Tennessee fans. Check

Matt Rhule is currently on a 7 yr/$60 million deal. Any need to elaborate beyond that?

perhaps just this one.

The recruiting part yes

We could do 10 year 100 million isn't that what Jimbo got we need the big money people to get it together and get serious about winning. He has Joe Brady with him also maybe he could bring him. Could you imagine how much money Tennessee would make being a playoff team every year.

I know they just fired their GM but I have not seen any indication Rhule is looking for a way out. With a $60 million contract,up to $70 million with incentives; the money is obviously good in Carolina!

 

[BearCat204]

May as well suggest giving Santa a call about the job if Rhule is even a thought.

Best name I have heard in this discussion. What do you think his total cost of acquisition is.?

Correct. He won at Temple, and single handedly resurrected Baylor.

 

[TheManFromTenn]

Helluva thought! Wishful thinking unfortunately. But... I like the way you think. He'd have the rest of the SEC looking up at Rocky Top in no time I imagine.
