According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Panthers’ secondary coach Steve Wilks will take over the HC duties on an interim basis. Wilks spent a total of seven years with the organization, serving in a number of different roles. He was the head coach for the Arizona Cardinals in 2018 but was fired after going 3-16 in his first year.

Matt Rhule joined the Panthers on a highly-lucrative six-year contract in 2020 with the goal of transforming the franchise into a championship contender after several lukewarm seasons under Ron Rivera. Rhule, who impressed owner David Tepper with the way he turned around college programs of Tempe and Baylor, was reportedly given much say in the organizational sense and even got a final word on the hiring of general manager Scott Fitterer.

However, Rhule failed to deliver what he was brought in for, with the Panthers going 11-27 during his time in Carolina. The 47-year-old seemed over his head in the NFL. It also didn’t help that the Panthers didn’t have a franchise QB while he was at the helm.

Rhule leaves less than three years into his deal and is reportedly set for a big compensation. He should receive north of $20 million as compensation.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Rhule managed to command a lucrative deal to leave Baylor Bears. The 44-year-old reportedly inked a seven-year contract that will pay him $60 million. The figure could get even bigger, as he can earn $10 million in incentives. 

Matt Rhule was a highly-sought-after candidate among NFL teams in recent weeks, thanks to an impressive 11–3 season with Baylor. Rhule was mentioned as a favorite for New York Giants’ job, as he spent the 2012 working as an offensive line assistant with the organization. However, the money ended up playing a crucial role.

Rhule first went to have an interview with Panthers before being set to interview with Giants on Tuesday. After receiving a big offer from Carolina, he reportedly got in touch with New York to see if they will match it. Giants refused, and he ended up choosing the Panthers.

Rhule comes to NFL with a reputation of having the ability to turn around college football programs. In the first two seasons with Temple Owls, he had an 8-16 record before improving to 20-7 in the next two.

A similar thing happened with Baylor, as the Bears went 1–11 under Rhule in his first year. Then, the Bears got to 7-6 record in 2018 before finishing the last year with 11-3.
