Word is Rhule to Nebraska *edited with some contract info*
- Thread starter PSUJam
- Start date
If Rhule goes to nebby and hires Jay, LaVar, and Golden to his staff, I’m going to be really pissed. Kraft will not appreciate my call.
Based on everything I read here regarding Rhule, Nebby is your 2024 National Champ.

If true, I don’t get why Rhule would rush back to coaching for the Nebraska job. He should sit out a year, cash his $8 million in paychecks and wait to see what better jobs open.
He will get his 8 mil, probably get 4 or 5 more, and even if he gets fired after 3 or 4 years, he’s still going to be a candidate for other jobs. Guys like Lovie Smith prove that you don’t have to win to get another job, and one more after that.
Good for Ruhle. I don’t see Nebraska doing much with him though definitely more than they have been doing.
He gets 838k a MONTH for the next four years to not coach. Plus, he has admitted that he does not like to recruit. Don’t know how that goes over in Lincoln. But with the portal and NIL recruiting may not be as important anymore.
Hang on. Does Rhule know that nebby isn’t AAU?
It’s Lincoln, NE. The place recruits itself.
I just spit up my beer!!!
2023- and they may win the Super Bowl, tooBased on everything I read here regarding Rhule, Nebby is your 2024 National Champ.

I'll be shocked if this happens. His accumulated collegiate coaching accomplishments qualify him for far better than Nebby. Matt might end up at Auburn and his agent is using the NU opening for leverage.
Come on, this is great. All the Rhule diehards will get a chance to evaluate his abilities vs a full time B1G schedule, even though it is the weaker division.
That's an interesting take. His heart is to get the PSU job, but in the interim he could re-assemble his cadre of TX HS coaches from Baylor and enjoy a higher level of success than Jimbo. Baylor messed up by hiring Aranda instead of one of Matt's disciples.
Very well may. I wonder if it’s different if he goes the college route vs NFL
Yeah, I don’t get why he wouldn’t take a year off. Do some game analysis on tv and then take a better opportunity elsewhere.
I think that's why he's jumping on the first power 5 gig.
Considering he built up Temple and Baylor from nothing to good teams - he may not like to recruit but he is pretty good at it.

He can revive Nebraska to a winning record and then upgrade to a better job before actually win anything.
Better jobs? How many other programs have won 5 National Championships? If Rhule gets the Nebraska job, he should be honored given his underwhelming coaching resume.
Nebraska is in a very bad place and they have been for a very long time. Those championships feel like lifetimes ago.
I’d pass on Nebraska. Auburn is a much better job, but Rhule’s probably not sleazy enough for it (hello Lane Kiffin!). I think Georgia Tech is a better job too. Arizona State could be intriguing. Nebraska is a relic - no NIL, poor natural recruiting geography, it’s in Lincoln. Just a very hard sell these days.
Nebraska’s last title was 1997. If that feels like a lifetime ago, how do you feel about the 36 years since PSU last won a title?
What was Nebraska’s last major bowl? Cotton 2007? They haven’t even been to a bowl game since 2016. They will never be back. Penn State is in a completely different and wildly better situation….
I agree Arizona State would be a destination as the PAC 12 sits right now but what's it going to look like in two years? How much can the old boosters at Nebraska drum up for NIL?
Dunno. Nebraska’s only draw is the B1G. They have nothing else going for them.
How many B1G titles does Nebraska have since joining? How many NY6 bowls? How many 10 win seasons? How many 9 win seasons? Heck, how many winning seasons? I stand by my comment. Nebraska is in a very bad place. Penn St is in a MUCH BETTER situation than Nebraska. The two aren’t even comparable at the moment.
Right. Rhule's MO is to take a job to coach a
team and take them to a bowl and come out a hero then move on. The Cornholers are a perfect opportunity for that in a weak B1G West.
My friend, you have gotten way off topic. The original conversation was about a comment stating Rhule should wait for a better job. This was not intended to be a Nebraska vs. PSU debate. You are arguing against yourself.
You asked about how we felt about PSU’s last title compared to Nebraska. So, you kind of brought up the ‘debate.’ Nebraska hasn’t had a top ten recruiting class since 2005 - they’re dead.
