Matt Rhule, the newly appointed coach of the University of Nebraska football team, is now opening up about his previous experience with the Carolina Panthers. Rhule’s tenure with the Panthers ended on a sour note when he was fired five games into his third season. Despite a promising start with a strong record at Baylor, Rhule struggled to find success in Carolina, never winning more than five games in a season. However, he views this setback as a catalyst for growth and a lesson in prioritizing what truly matters.
In an interview with ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Rhule candidly spoke about his time with the Panthers, describing it as a “purifying fire” that allowed him to shed any unnecessary worries or distractions. He realized the importance of focusing on what truly matters and has now brought that perspective to his new role at Nebraska. Rhule also expressed his determination to protect his players from going through a similar experience.
During his time with the Panthers, Rhule had notable players like Christian McCaffrey on his roster. However, the team struggled at the quarterback position, hindering their overall performance. Rhule now faces the challenge of turning around the Nebraska team, which had a disappointing 4-8 record last year and has not achieved a winning season since 2016. Despite this, Rhule remains confident in the potential of his team.
Rhule believes that Nebraska has the ability to become a national power in college football and aims to make an impact in the changing landscape of the sport, particularly with the expansion of the College Football Playoff to 12 teams. The Nebraska Cornhuskers will have an opportunity to showcase their progress on August 31st in their season opener against Minnesota.
With Rhule’s determination and mindset, Nebraska is poised for a fresh start under his leadership.
