Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule actually has a excessive opinion of the Massive Ten.
The second-year head coach acknowledged at Massive Ten media days that he believed 4 groups from the convention ought to robotically get into the Faculty Soccer Playoff as a result of he considers it “the NFL of school soccer.”
Whether or not Rhule’s evaluation is true or not can actually be debated, however his grandstanding for a convention by which he gained simply three video games final season didn’t sit proper with famous school soccer analyst Paul Finebaum, who went in on Rhule throughout an look on ESPN’s “Get Up.”
“Matt, keep in your lane,” Finebaum mentioned. “Job 1 — win sufficient video games to get to some silly bowl sport. Don’t fear concerning the massive boys since you’re not one among them. We noticed what you probably did within the NFL — you have been an entire catastrophe in Carolina, you one way or the other bought this job in Nebraska, and also you’re speaking such as you belong on the desk with Ohio State and Georgia; you don’t. Simply try to win perhaps six video games, stop choking massive video games on the ultimate play and depart the punditry to the professionals.”
In Rhule’s first season at Nebraska, he led the Cornhuskers to a 5-7 file and he went simply 3-6 towards Massive Ten opponents.
Except for two 10-win seasons at Temple and one 11-3 season at Baylor again in 2019, Rhule’s teaching resume leaves a lot to be desired. He has a 52-50 profession file and he’s 1-2 in bowl video games, which furthers Finebaum’s level that Rhule doesn’t have the skins on the wall to be making such declaratory statements concerning the CFP.
Nebraska’s schedule solely will get more durable this season with the addition of UCLA and USC to its slate.
