Former Baylor football head coach Matt Rhule was fired less than three years into his NFL stint with the Carolina Panthers on Monday, as first reported by ESPN and NFL Network. Rhule took the helm as head coach for the Panthers in early January of 2020 after an 11-3 season with the Bears, but now finds himself jobless following a 1-4 start to the 2022 season.
Carolina had signed Rhule to a seven-year, $62 million contract and after being let go, he’s still owed upwards of $40 million.
