Baylor head coach Matt Rhule is departing to take the Carolina Panthers head coaching job. With his departure, Baylor is in the market for a new head coach for the first time in three seasons.
Things are much different now than the last time Baylor looked for a coach. The Bears are fresh off an appearance in the Sugar Bowl and matched the program record with 11 wins this season. Baylor also proved it can spend at a high level to retain a coach.
