Penn State has fired football head coach James Franklin leaving Nebraska's head coach Matt Rhule as the leading candidate to replace him. Coach Rhule grew up a Penn State fan, he's a graduate of Penn State, and a former walk on linebacker with the Nittany Lions. In his press conference on Monday, October 13, Coach Rhule's response to questions are eerily similar to his answers in a press conference prior to leaving Baylor University for the NFL. This video highlights some of the similarities and should serve to prepare Husker Fans for the eventuality that if Coach Rhule is offered the position of head coach at Penn State, he will accept. This is difficult for Husker fans to come to terms with as no head coach has ever left the Nebraska football program voluntarily to take another position.

Matt Rhule is a good man who is attempting to balance his current responsibilities and commitments to the Nebraska players, university, and fans while not outright lying about his desire to coach at Penn State. He is doing what he can to not "tank" the Husker's football season while remaining truthful. It seems clear the Penn State football head coaching position is Matt Rhule's dream job and no one should fault him for accepting the position.
