A few weeks ago, when James Franklin was first mentioned as being on the hot seat, some Nebraska football fans refused to believe that Matt Rhule could be a real candidate to replace him. Well, buckle up, buttercups, because now that Franklin has been officially fired, the Huskers' head coach is already at the top of many hot boards.
A quick check of the usual suspects shows several On3 industry analysts believing the job could come down to either Matt Rhule or Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti. Some believe Marcus Freeman is in the mix as well.
