Followed Scott Frost. Matt Rhule slid Nebraska from National Program I to National Program II in 4 seasons.
Those guys know who it is, but we’ll probably keep it internal this week.
Anthony would play for us right now
Every single time you're going to see Anthony scramble. He's looking to throw the ball. He’s not looking to go out of bounds or go down or take a sack.
It will allow him to call the game without a conscience and just go attack
Honestly, it can break some guys
You get to play at Nebraska
You really can't waste a day
His real stature score, season by season, across every program he’s coached — so a stretch that stays in one tier the whole way can still climb or sink on the line, not just flatten out. Node color marks the tier reached. Which program a stretch belongs to is carried by the shaded lane behind it.
Reached National Program in his 4th career season — faster than 19% of the 675 FBS coaches who have ever reached National Program (rank #505 of 675 by seasons-to-arrival).
Where each stint’s offense sat between run-first and pass-first, and how far it moved from one season to the next. The band is that stint’s real season-to-season range, not a fixed-width box.
Season-to-season pass-rate range for all 258 FBS coaching stints with at least three covered seasons, 2014–2025.
How he does in the games that matter most — rivalry record, performance broken out by real opponent tier, one-score games, and his toughest historical matchup.
5–8 against his rivals. Winless in 6 tries against Lincoln Riley.
A statistical estimate of this coach’s contribution to team performance, separated from that season’s roster talent, returning production, and his coordinators — pooled across his whole head-coaching career.
Model fit as of 2026-09-04.

I think this year will say a lot about if Rhule will be a long time Nebraska HC or not

That seems like a long time for Matt Rhule based on the current football product and the schedules we're going to face. It seems obvious that this class is mostly not going to have a long term impact at Nebraska based on the trajectory of the team.
