Matt Rhule isn't going anywhere. The Nebraska football head coach signed a new contract extension on Thursday that will keep him with the Huskers for an additional two years.

Pete Thamel was the first to report the deal made official after earlier rumors started floating around Wednesday night that he'd agreed to a new contract. What stands out as most interesting, beyond the fact that he's now off the market, is that the deal shows a head coach who, when he said he loved Nebraska and wanted to stay, wasn't just talking the talk, but he also walked the walk.
