Fired Panthers HC Matt Rhule Getting Blasted For Saying He Regrets Taking Carolina Job
Nebraska has named Matt Rhule as the school's new football coach, signing him to an eight-year contract.
Rhule, who was fired by the NFL's Carolina Panthers in October, previously had successful stints in college football at Baylor and Temple. A news conference is scheduled for Monday.
Rhule replaces Scott Frost, who was fired from his alma mater earlier this season after a 1-2 start. Mickey Joseph was promoted to interim head coach.

His deduction? Rhule wouldn't have taken the job, knowing what he knows now.
"I think I probably would just have taken another job," Rhule said on The Season with Peter Schrager podcast. "A great place with wonderful people, but I just don't know if I was a fit there."
