Yeah, Carolina gave Rhule a massive contract - 7 years, $60MM + potential $10MM extra in bonuses.
That contract makes him the sixth highest paid coach in the NFL behind Belicheat ($12MM/yr), Pete Carroll ($11MM/yr), Jon Gruden ($10MM/yr), Sean Payton ($9.8MM/yr) and John Harbaugh ($9.0MM/yr).
On top of that, Rhule had a buyout clause with Baylor (estimated at $6MM) that Carolina will pay.

Panthers are giving former Baylor HC Matt Rhule a seven-year - seven year - deal worth $60 million that with incentives could be worth up to $70 million, per league sources.

One other cost for Carolina hiring Matt Rhule: Panthers paid Baylor a $6 million buyout to hire their new head coach, per league sources.
