How long before he fires Mueller? Or fires Rosenstein for not firing Mueller?

I'm going with weeks.

All this other firing may very well include 'cover' as a motive. Trump is like the kid with frosting on his face saying he didn't eat the cupcake.

Who said it was a coincidence? It ain’t as if they could fire him after he retired.

You fire somebody to get rid of him. If he's already going, there's no reason to fire him. Most organizations encourage people in trouble to resign so they don't have to deal with the potential legal consequences of termination. Sessions couldn't even pretend that he took the time to review the matter thoughtfully. This was nothing but the robbery of the pension McCabe earned from 22 years of service. It's pure vindictive meanness. Commentators are already calling it a "Roy Cohn" move.

And now McCabe, a civilian with nothing to lose, is free to come after Trump, and I'll bet McCabe has a lot of friends in high places.

Sounds like old Mark Pocan might want to take a gander at the report first, particularly that part about our new hero perjuring himself.

And McCabe denies it. Under ordinary circumstances there would be an independent review. That's the issue.

Is the deal he would take the job, work some minimum number of days, then resign with his government pension back in play?

The release says it's an offer of a job related to election security issues. It doesn't specify terms, but it would make sense to keep him working through the election. On the other hand, working a week might be enough to qualify him for his benefits.

No it doesn't. It really doesnt change anything except that McCabe will earn his pension.

"Wrongful termination" is hard to prove, and such cases often fail. Taking his lost pension off the table eliminates the sympathy factor.

He doesn't need sympathy. The question is credibility. Are people going to listen to him? My guess is yes.
