Matt Rhule Could Be the Hire That Nebraska Football Needs

There's plenty of work to be done, but the Huskers have landed a proven college winner who can lead their climb out of irrelevance.

Nebraska is ready for the next football coaching reload. This time, the Cornhuskers may have the right man for a big job.

The program announced Saturday morning that former Baylor and Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule was its new head coach. He takes over the top job after interim Mickey Joseph guided the team after Scott Frost’s dismissal three games into the season.

Rhule isn’t the next Tom Osborne, but he might be the next Frank Solich.
