Since Penn State fired James Franklin, more than a few insiders have claimed Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule is the top candidate to replace him. When Rhule addressed the media on Monday, he didn't exactly put the rumors to rest that he might take the job, even as he carefully laid out why he loves Lincoln.
The worst part of all of this, for Husker fans and players, is that the rumors are likely to be flying around for weeks, if not months. The Nittany Lions aren't expected to hire a new head coach until after the regular season at least.
