Is Nebraska the best landing spot for head coach Matt Rhule? PaulMyerberg and DanWolken break down his top landing spots.
Nebraska's search for a reboot under athletics director Trev Alberts should lead directly to Rhule, who meets every prerequisite for the job as subtly outlined by Alberts in announcing Scott Frost's dismissal last month.
Rhule has experience as a Power Five head coach. He's clearly drawn to the rebuilding process; while his departure from Temple to Baylor one year after Art Briles was fired came as a slight surprise, given his lack of ties to Texas, the challenge spoke to Rhule on a deep level — and the chance to put his fingerprints on once-proud Nebraska may do the same.
As a recruiter, Rhule is adept at evaluating prospects who fit the blueprint: Baylor signed only three-star recruits in a 2017 class that has formed the backbone of two New Year's Six bowl teams in three years. Combining that eye with Nebraska's strong resources in name, image and likeness would make for an intriguing mix.
The big unknown is whether Nebraska can get him. Rhule is dealing from the advantageous position of not needing to work; he can collect the roughly $40 million due from the Panthers and sit back and relax, though that's not his style. He could also patiently wait out this year's market, assessing the openings that will arise in late November and early December.
