Nebraska announces Matt Rhule as program's new coach

Nebraska has named Matt Rhule as the team's new coach.

Rhule, who was fired by the NFL's Carolina Panthers in October, previously had successful stints in college football at Baylor and Temple.

Rhule replaces Scott Frost, who was fired from his alma mater earlier this season after a 1-2 start. Mickey Joseph was promoted to interim head coach.

The Cornhuskers (4-8) finished their 2022 campaign with a 24-17 win against Iowa on Friday.

Rhule, 47, was less than three seasons into his seven-year, $62 million deal with the Panthers when he was fired after a 1-4 start to this season.
