Matt Rhule, in all likelihood, is coming back to college football.
Fired as the head coach of the Carolina Panthers, he will probably not be in contention for any other NFL job that might open. Put simply, Rhule was not successful in the pros.
However, he's a proven college coach who twice showed he can build a contender. Rhule notched a pair of 10-win seasons and an AAC crown at Temple and elevated Baylor after it was revealed the university had mishandled multiple sexual assault allegations against student-athletes. He capped that tenure with an 11-3 record and a trip to the Big 12 Championship Game, laying the foundation for the Bears' league title in 2021.
