His resume for developing kids coming in that are more the 3 star kids as it’s rare Nebraska can real in the 4 & especially 5 star kids … he’s proven he can develop those kids into stars that are being drafted into the NFL … something that only Dr Tom could seem to do in the past !

As a lifelong cornhusker fan, I believe this is just the person to put things back together that were so messed up by the firing of Frankie Solich.

Strong leader and man of faith in Jesus, just like Dr. Tom. That foundation of faith makes a huge difference.

First of all, you can discount all of the "thumbs down" votes that wanted Mickey, they'd vote against any new hire. MJ was the interim coach, he wasn't the next in line, nor was he fired as HC. Rhule commanded the room today, when it took Bill Moos to do this last time out... That tells us a lot

Proven builder and evident respect for Nebraska. So his overall college coaching record is .522; his two year 1s combined it's .125 (3-21) taking over damaged programs; year 2s is .520 (13-12) and his 3 years 3-4 it's .756 (31-10). Looks like a builder to me. Keep MJ and Busch and it should go well.

Why the heck did Husker Nation think they deserved a better candidate than this? Let's be realistic and hope that Rhule is better than Frost and Riley, at minimum. If he's not, God help us.

I think that he has the experience in the college ranks to develop the players and turn this team back to the powerhouse it once was.

He is a builder for players future but he needs to keep Mickey Joseph and Bill Bush for me to like this hire.

Proven winner. Development of players a strength, knows big ten.

Time will give us our answers. Nobody knows how this will turn out . GBR !!!

It's too early to judge otherwise.

no brainer

Anyone who can lead Temple to two 10-win seasons knows what he's doing.

will develope players

Matt is a great human being, and great leader of men. Highly regarded in the college circles and also in the state of Texas!!

He's had success as a college coach and has coached on both sides of the ball. So far, he seems to respect Nebraska football and the fans.

experienced head coach, with proven rebuilding efforts

GO BIG RED TILL I DIE!!!

When it comes to coaching hires, there's no such thing as a "sure thing" or a guarantee of success (see Scott Frost). I think TA did a great job of executing a diligent and thorough nationwide search that resulted in a very good hire. One that gives Nebraska a great chance to turn it around quickly!

He mentioned "offensive line"

he builds programs...........

After celebrating the Scott Frost hire a few years ago I've learned to tread carefully about declaring who I think will be a great coach for the Huskers, but the evidence of his past work certainly looks promising.

He has done a very good job in the past with our kind of program so I hope he can do it again

He would be good hire for 90% of programs in CFB. 90% of programs are better than nebraska right now, we need to be realistic about where we are as a program.

We need a guy that can turn us around and I believe he is that guy.

High quality college coach....feel he will consider keeping a few current coaches with strong ties to roster and recruiting players (example - Joseph, Busch, Fisher)......Huskers Rhule.....GO BIG RED!!

Come on, the options were all maybe mediocre at best coaches. Would all be in over their heads in Big 10 just like Frost. KU coach and staff, KSU coach and staff, ISU coach and staff, NCST coach and staff, Army coach and staff, Bronco M and his VA staff? No thank you. Choice was a no brainer.

Proven program builder. His teams (ie Temple and Baylor) were know as punch you in the mouth type of teams. Nebraska will Rhule.

Proven builder

I live in Jackson, MS and believe me, anyone who can do what he's done at an HBCU school like Jackson St can flat out coach and he talked the #1 overall recruit in the country into signing with them! Not to mention several other highly ranked recruits. Yes, he could get it done! JSU SUCKED B4 DEION!

The silver sluggers would never allow this. But I think hed be a breath of fresh air, but could be a PR nightmare for TA.

he will bring the energy we need to rebound the program. but like any program one coach don't do it alone need great assistants.

I just feel Deion Sanders can recruit the 4&5 star recruits that will make Nebraska competitive! GBR

Prime is the only coach out there capable of being able to handle the fish bowl that is Nebraska Football

Prime time would bring prime recruits and a winner’s attitude
