Report: Baylor hires Temple’s Matt Rhule as head coach

Baylor has hired Temple’s Matt Rhule as their next football head coach, according to Fox Sports’ Bruce Feldman.

Jim Grobe has served as the Bears' interim head coach all season after head coach Art Briles was fired in the aftermath of a wide-ranging sexual abuse scandal that rocked the university in June.

Rhule, 41, served on the coaching staff at Temple from 2006–11 before leaving in 2012 to join the New York Giants as their assistant offensive line coach. After just one year, the Owls hired him back as the school’s head football coach in 2013.
