Nebraska is ready for the next football coaching reload. This time, the Cornhuskers may have the right man for a big job.
The program announced Saturday morning that former Baylor and Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule was its new head coach. He takes over the top job after interim Mickey Joseph guided the team after Scott Frost’s dismissal three games into the season.
Rhule isn’t the next Tom Osborne, but he might be the next Frank Solich. That should be just fine with Nebraska fans who have been properly humbled over the past 20 years, as their program has slid into irrelevance and crash-landed in incompetence.
