Even after bringing in a new offensive coordinator as recently as this very weekend, Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule can’t escape the speculation of a getaway back to the college ranks.
According to a report on Saturday morning from CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora, Rhule may be one of the University of Michigan’s top contingency plans if Jim Harbaugh bolts Ann Arbor for a return to the NFL.
“Panthers’ embattled head coach Matt Rhule would be at the top of that list, league sources indicated, with Rhule already considering several college options this past season, and with him firmly on the hot seat with owner David Tepper for 2022 after receiving an eventual vote of confidence from ownership,” La Canfora writes.
