Nebraska has named Matt Rhule as the school’s new football coach, signing him to an eight-year contract.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Rhule told ESPN’s “College GameDay” on Saturday that knowing the previous regime made the Nebraska job more attractive.<\/p>\n

“One of the things that drew me to it is knowing that Scott had been there for the last several years,” Rhule said. “Scott Frost is a coach that I truly respect and consider a friend. And so I know that program has a good culture, I know they know how to work. Now it’s about just all of us picking up, moving forward.”<\/p>\n

The Cornhuskers (4-8) finished their 2022 campaign with a 24-17 win against Iowa on Friday.<\/p>\n
