Smoaky reported it tonight on Twitter. Great news for Baylor! Apparently told the team tonight and they were pumped.

Something special is happening with this group. Hope you all choose to jump on board rather than keep on complaining about ridiculousness.

That sounds good to me, but look out for the avalanche of naysayers.

Would like to know about any outs in the contract for NFL jobs. Otherwise it doesn't mean much for me.

These people... the worst.

Great news. CMR is the right HC for Baylor, and I'm excited about the program that he is building.

Sic'em

Good for him. Glad to hear it!

What's that sound?



Stranger's head just exploded.

Huh? Ok I guess I imagined last year with the Jets. Think he was under contract then too, except he could leave for the nfl. Look forward to hearing the details.

We can thank Daniel Jones for saving Pat Shurmurs job..haha

curious to see the amount and the buyout once it's all said and done

Curious as to why they didn't wait until the end of the season. Seems a little early to lock that in. I like what he's doing, but I'd like to see how this season plays out.

More money or just an extension?

Nothing but positive here.

Same here. Glad to hear he's made a commitment to Baylor.

Everyone who knows my posts know I'm 100% team Briles and always will be but I'm happy with Rhule and glad he has extended his contract.

Recruiting

Being a Baylor is so manic depressive sometimes...

We sign a 4 star basketball player... We lose Mario Kegler... We're leading ISU by 20... We win with a last minute field goal... Matt Rhule signs a 10 year contract...

Please let's just keep the good times rolling for once!!!

Those are not mutually exclusive positions. Respect.

Performance and retention incentives..and increase in base salary..and as anyone with a double digit IQ knows (this isn't directed at you) he can still leave whenever the hell he wants.Just has to pay a buyout.

First of all, I am and always have been a Baylor fan. When Baylor wins I'm happy.

That said, I question the timing of this decision. Rhule has yet to bring his overall record to over .500. He is 4-0 this year but has yet to beat a team with a winning record. Last season showed seven wins but none against a team with a winning record.

The Bears grabbed a win Saturday but gave up three touchdowns in the fourth quarter and were lucky to survive.

Does anybody think this might be premature? Does Rhoads think this contract will keep Rhule from bolting to the pros like he has threatened the last two off seasons?

It seems the squad this year still poses a lot more questions than answers. And I think most of the questions lie with the coaching staff, not the players.

I remember Kevin Steele being given an extension while he still had a losing record at Baylor. Shortly afterward, he was fired.

I think all Baylor fans want the best for our team but myself and others think the jury is still out on Rhule. Could it be that Rhoads is trying to bolster his decision to hire Rhule in the first place?

Let's let the season play out then judge this decision.

We'll see.

Yea, sure you are....until the next loss or close win and then you are back to being a hater.

Respect.

Like most things in CFB. This 100% related to recruiting. And you can be 100% sure the NFL will not quit calling in January.

Making a statement like that assures me you don't know me. If you did you would know my commitment to Baylor for many decades. I'll forgive you of your ignorance of that fact.

Iowa State was 2-1 arriving at Waco Saturday. Kevin Steele never took Baylor to a bowl, much less won one.

Your bias is showing. All that's missing is your grade-school name-calling.

Promise?

You make some really good points. And I would have waited another 4-6 weeks to announce this decision, but I did like that Rhule is making the BOI make financial commitments to the football program.

Iowa State does not currently have a winning record but you are correct that they were 2-1 when they arrived in Waco. You are also correct that I don't really care for Rhule but that does not diminish my love for the Baylor Bears.

Comparing this to the extension of Steele shows again you have no idea what you are talking about.

I know exactly what I'm talking about. Steele was given the extension to aid in recruiting, despite his losing record. We currently have a coach who was probably given an extension to aid in his recruiting.

You shouldn't disparage other posters just because they don't share your viewpoint.

No. You don't, at all. One was a terrible coach, the other isn't. They are not the same thing and neither are their contract extensions and the motives behind them.

I can call out bad posters with weird axes to grind as I please.
