Matt Rhule sends pointed message to Nebraska amid Penn State rumors
Bruce Thorson-Imagn ImagesSince the moment Penn State fired James Franklin, Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule has been one of the hottest names rumored to replace him. On Monday, during a press conference that was supposed to be about the Huskers' upcoming game against Minnesota, Rhule attempted to tamp down rumors by addressing what he thought about both programs.
There was plenty said by Rhule that can be interpreted any way a listener wants to take it, but some of his comments were straightforward. Penn State because it's his alma mater. He also loves Nebraska because he's worked hard to rebuild the program, and his family loves the state and city of Lincoln.
