Baylor coach Matt Rhule has declined the chance to interview for the Cleveland Browns' head-coaching job, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
Rhule is expected to be a leading candidate for the New York Giants' and Carolina Panthers' head-coaching vacancies, according to Schefter. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Monday that the Giants were making Rhule a focus of their coaching search.
In his third season at Baylor, Rhule led the Bears to an 11-2 record and an appearance in the Big 12 championship game. Baylor is set to play Georgia in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Wednesday.
