Former NFL player thinks Colorado is perfect landing spot for Matt Rhule

The Colorado Buffaloes need a coach to rebuild the program and timing might be everything. Less than 24 hours after the Carolina Panthers lost to the San Francisco 49ers, Matt Rhule was fired by the team just two years into his first NFL tenure.

It might sound crazy for the Buffaloes to chase after the former Big 12 Coach of the year, especially after posting a 11-27 record with the Panthers, but one former NFL player believes it could be serendipitous given the current state of CU’s program.

Nick Ferguson gave his reasons why Rhule’s background of fixing teams should be on CU’s radar as he exits Carolina.
