Matt Rhule will not get us to “Elite”. Terrible choice.

Hell no to Rhule. Get someone with no PSU ties. We need a huge reset.

Rhule is Franklin. Program builder with a very real ceiling. Not elite.

All Mattt Rhule has done at the college level is win. Temple and Baylor are not exactly USC. Look at him at Nebraska. They were dead and he has them winning. It will be interesting to watch Rhule if he stays at Nebraska, or if he moves to another job at a traditional blue blood program. Having Penn State ties is not a prerequisite for the next coach.

HarrisburgDave said:Minor bowl games...actually all bowl games...mean nothing outside the playoff See what Cignetti did at Indiana. And he wasn't handed a QB because of ties to Indiana. We aren't looking to build a program. We're looking to win titles. If we weren't a major program I'd agree with you. He'd be great at any program that hasn't won recently.The last time a Nebraska coach won more than 3 games in the BIG was 2016.

This year, Nebraska has beaten three OOC cupcakes, Michigan State at home, and Maryland on the road. They have Minnesota, Northwestern, USC, and UCLA (NW and USC at home) before Penn State. Nebraska is 5-1 now. I think it is almost a lock that they can win one of those games to become bowl-eligible. Even if Nebraska only goes 3-3 the rest of the way, 8-4 is a record Nebraska hasn't achieved since 2016.
Let's see what happens. If Rhule can get Nebraska to 9-3 or 10-2, then he has really accomplished something. At this point, 8-4 is a "floor" or minimum.
All that said, Rhule's done a good job and appears to have Nebraska on an upward trajectory.

Frank Cignetti’s player will run through a brick wall for him. Most followed him JMU and say he is inspirational, that is exactly what Penn State needs!! I just don’t think they get him…I don’t think he feels Penn State is a better leap, and that sounds insane to me too.

Frank Cignetti very fortunate to get out of Iowa City...Hawkeyes had that game won.

No top 25 wins since. 0-18 since leaving Temple. Nice guy. Runs clean, respectable programs, but no thank you.All Mattt Rhule has done at the college level is win.
