Report: Matt Rhule and Nebraska are close to finalizing a deal

Sean_Callahan

For the last few days, all signs have pointed to former Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule to land the Nebraska job.

Less than one hour before the Huskers’ Black Friday game at Iowa, things continue to point towards Rhule.

ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Nebraska and Rhule are in the final stages of contract negotiations.

But a deal is on track to be done in the upcoming days. Don’t expect anything formal to happen until after the Iowa game today. “It looks like it’s going to happen.”
— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) November 25, 2022

NU athletic director Trev Alberts did not travel with the team to Iowa City on Thursday. He came in on Friday.

Rhule is owed $34 million in buyout money from Carolina, which would factor into his agreement with Nebraska.
