Matt Rhule Shares Two Reasons He Took Nebraska Job on ‘College GameDay’ (Video)

Matt Rhule is Nebraska’s new football coach, and the former Panthers’ coach is excited for a new start.

While it just became official, Nebraska’s new leader is already looking forward to the opportunity. Rhule appeared on College GameDay just moments after the news was announced to explain what made the Cornhuskers so attractive to him. He cited two major factors in taking the job: the fact that he already misses the players and the coaching environment, and the potential of the Huskers program.

“This is Nebraska, this is a team that I grew up not just watching, this is a team that I grew up revering,” Rhule said.
