A year ago, Matt Rhule found himself suddenly out of work after being dismissed by the Carolina Panthers.
Now, he’s back in the college game, tasked with rebuilding a Nebraska program that’s hungry to rediscover its past dominance — and he’s loving every second of it.
“I’m having the time of my life, I really am,” he said last week. “So this is as happy as I’ve been in a really, really long time. My family’s here now. My girls are happy, my family’s happy, my wife’s happy, the son’s doing well. I really enjoy this team.”
Rhule makes his Nebraska debut tonight (8 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app), as his Cornhuskers battle Minnesota in a Big Ten showdown.
Here are the top plays from the game.
