If he doesn't have a job offer. what's it gonna hurt to get more hours/experience being a coach&supervisor/more pay/more benefits/more time to wait out the oil glut/better resume while looking for a job since you are not"unemployed"/ etc. etc.
You have been given a gift. Don't look a Gift Horse in the Mouth.
Times is hard all over. Others simply get thrown on the street.
Hey, that is 6 more months of pay and benefits, then you will get to move the severance into 2017, lowering the tax burden on it. I consider that a win my friend.
