This season the Carolina Panthers turn to Matt Rhule as their head coach. His only experience in the NFL came in 2012 for the Giants as the assistant offensive line coach. Over the past seven seasons, Rhule worked as the head coach for Temple (28-23) and Baylor (19-20). Carolina went 5-11 in 2019.
He took over both programs at low points. In each season as a college coach, his team improved from the previous year. In 2019, Baylor finished 11-3 and 8-1 in conference play after going 1-11 in 2017.
Rhule has been coaching since 1998, with his best highlight coming as the AAC football champion in 2016.
