As Penn State's season collapses into one of the biggest surprises and disappointments of 2025, it's also time for Nebraska football fans to hear a lot of talk about Matt Rhule as a top candidate to replace him. The question, of course, is whether the Huskers' head coach would leave. And whether Penn State would want him.
On the former, there's reason to fear. Rhule is a Nittany Lions alum. He clearly has a special place in his heart for his old school. One of the first things he asked after beating Michigan State was whether James Franklin's crew lost to UCLA.
