Debating and grading CFB coach hires: Kenny Dillingham to ASU, Matt Rhule to Nebraska

Nebraska made the first change of the coaching carousel back in September, and the team now has found its next leader in Matt Rhule. The former Carolina Panthers, Baylor Bears and Temple Owls coach was hired Saturday morning following an extensive search that spanned more than two months. Rhule struggled in the NFL and was fired in October following a 1-4 start to his third season in Carolina, but he had success both at Temple (two 10-win seasons) and Baylor (Big 12 championship game appearance).

Arizona State didn't waste much time, either, bringing in former Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham after letting go of Herm Edwards earlier this season.
