$ for $ credit & Attracting next coach

1 ) From PFT: I had not heard this. If so, then it weakens the case against early firing due to financial concerns:

Here’s a reason to do it sooner than later. If Rhule lands a job in the coming NCAA hiring cycle, the Panthers would get a dollar-for-dollar credit as to any remaining buyout. If Tepper keeps Rhule until after the season, the college jobs might be filled.

2) If we do have the roster strength some of us believe, it could help to  have Wilks lead a turn around so possible next coaches, (if not Wilks), would see better potential and have more interest.

That would fug up our draft pick though

That offset is typical in an NFL coaching contract.  I wasn't sure what was in Rhule's contract, since they went all in to get the snake oil salesman and with Hurney involved, anything was possible.  Good to hear that part is on standard terms.

If anything, with some big-name college jobs open, it makes sense to send Rhule out the door as soon as that final decision has been made so he can land one of those jobs.  His name has been mentioned with Nebraska and Arizona State (that I know of), and either of them could remove a lot of the financial onus on the Panthers.

As far as talent and a bit of a turnaround to showcase it, we'll see.  I think we have more talent than some think, but not as much as others believe.  I also think the bulk of our young talent is on defense, which might be tempting to a coach with a background in defense.  I know a lot of people here want an offensive-minded coach, but our situation is less attractive to such candidates, IMO.

...or to an offensive coach who can hire a coordinator to run the defense and then build the offense according to his own vision.
