Athletic Director Mack Rhoades IV and Interim President David Garland announced today the hiring of Matt Rhule as the 27th Baylor head football coach.
“We could not be more excited to welcome Matt, Julie and their children to the Baylor Family,” Rhodes said in a University press release. “When we set out on our search for a new leader of our football program, we wanted a coach who shared our values, who had demonstrated success, who showed a true commitment to the overall student-athlete and who we believed could lead Baylor to a national championship. We found all of that and more in Matt and I know that he will be a perfect fit with the Baylor Family.
