On Saturday morning, the University of Nebraska named Matt Rhule as its next head football coach. In its official press release Athletic Director Trev Alberts said,
“It is a privilege to welcome Coach Matt Rhule, his wife Julie, and their family to Nebraska, Coach Rhule has created a winning culture throughout his coaching career, and he will provide great leadership for the young men in our football program. Matt is detail-oriented, his teams are disciplined and play a physical brand of football. Matt also has the personality and relationship-building skills to build a great staff and excel in recruiting.”
Rhule went on to say that it’s an honor to coach the Cornhuskers,
“It is a tremendous honor to be chosen to lead the Nebraska Football program, when you think of great, tradition-rich programs in college football Nebraska is right at the top of the list. The fan base is second to none, and I consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to coach in Memorial Stadium on Tom Osborne Field. My family and I are so grateful to become a part of the Husker Family, and we can’t wait to get started.”
Rhule has previously coached seven seasons as a college head football coach at Temple and Baylor. He would win the first conference title in 49 years at Temple and would take a Baylor program from 11 losses to 11 wins within two seasons.
The new Husker head coach had a chance to appear on ESPN’s College Game Day to talk about why he wanted to be Nebraska’s head football coach.
Nebraska has signed Rhule to an eight-year contract, according to the #Huskers statement. Additional contract details will be made available at Monday’s press conference.
