I guess Penn State told him no thanks. Smart move on their part.

I didnt write this but I think it’s the right read on rhule

Rhule’s conference win percentage at Nebraska is like 40%, that’s a far cry from almost always winning. 

I don’t think Rhule was anyone’s first choice. LSU and PSU just fired guys who are better versions of what Rhule is supposed to be, a “program builder.” The dollar store version isn’t going to be appealing. Florida probably needs someone like that but they’d be much better off with Franklin. 

Then a tier down you’ve got schools that have comparable of fewer resources than Nebraska and they wouldn’t target him because why would he leave Nebraska to go somewhere that’s in worse shape than Nebraska? 

If he can actually do something at Nebraska maybe he will be a hot commodity again but he’s six years removed from being a guy anyone’s getting excited about hiring.

The only thing Rhule has proven at this point is that he can drag a program out of the gutter and get them back to a decent level of respectability and competitiveness. What he has definitely not shown yet is that he can beat good teams. I don't mean consistently, I mean literally at all. LOL
