As both the Demon Deacons and Owls prepare for the Military Bowl in 12 days, both programs have been in the news for very different reasons. Wake Forest has been mired by betrayal of a former player and coach, Tommy Elrod while Temple has lost their coach, Matt Rhule, to Baylor after consecutive 10-win seasons and a conference championship.
With a coach departing like Rhule did, many of his staff are expected to leave for Baylor as well, although most are still expected to coach the bowl game as a “last hurrah”.
