Matt Rhule’s megadeal with the Panthers could wreak havoc on the Browns’ coaching search
Date: Jan 08 2020
As the aftershocks of the Carolina Panthers’ all-in move for Matt Rhule subsided on Tuesday afternoon, the lasting effects of his hiring began to set in. Not only did the Panthers change the calculus of four different coaching searches – including their own, and that of the New York Giants, Cleveland Browns and Mississippi State University – the impact of Carolina’s seven-year, $62 million deal is going to be an adrenaline shot for elite NFL and college coaches.
“Insane – but great for coaches,” said an agent who represents college and NFL coaches.
“Crazy,” added another. “Leverage is a beautiful thing.”
