Let's say Kirk has a two year window. Kirk and Barta should make a call to Matt Ruhle. He has a BIG pedigree from Penn State, has OC and QB coaching experience. Success at Temple and Baylor as a HC.
Iowa's pitch, Matt we know you are owed $9M per year by Carolina unless you get another gig. Then they make up the difference.
Kirk is going to be retiring in 2 years. We would like you to join us as assoc. head coach, OC and QB coach. You will run your offense with no interference. Package is $2M a year from us and $7M from the Panthers, that way you sting them a bit for not keeping you for a longer term. When Kirk retires your new deal is seven years at $10M per year.
I know it would never happen because Barta's not an out of the box thinker. We need to have a transition strategy and Brian isn't it.
