Matt Rhule is one of the hottest names in this cycle of head coaching candidates. Giants safety Sean Chandler understands why.

Chandler played under Rhule at Temple, a perennial bottom-dweller of a program that was turned into a contender under his guidance, before Rhule left to do roughly the same at Baylor.

“He makes you want to play for him because you know he’ll back you up each and every day,” Chandler said of Rhule.
