Why he’d be a good pick to coach at Nebraska
Matt took over a Temple program that in the prior 10 years had only three winning seasons. The other seven years, the Owls had records of 0-11 (one), 1-11 (two), 2-10 (one), 2-9 (one), 4-8 (one) and one 5-7 season. Rhule then led the Owls to back-to-back 10-win seasons his last two years at Temple.
His next move was to Baylor University, where he replaced Jim Grobe who had taken over for Art Briles. Briles was fired after his apparent cover-up of a sexual assault scandal that hit the Baylor football program.
Unlike the Owl program, Baylor had enjoyed seven winning seasons out of the prior 10. Will the magic Rhule used to resurrect a moribund Temple team be enough reason for Trev Alberts to hire him as the next Husker head coach?
