Rhule inherited an absolute mess with the Baylor sexual assault scandal.

Look at his 3rd year at each stop. Look at his 2nd year at each stop. This guy can coach college football. The NFL is a different beast. Saban, who will go down as one of the greatest football coaches in college football, was not a very good HC for the Dolphins. Urban Meyer...one of the best football coaches in college football history absolutely bombed in the NFL.

Matt Rhule is probably a better college football coach than an NFL coach. I'd take him at GT and it would be a great hire.
Agree Rhule is very good person and did a very good job at baylor.
Lets give the Baylor Admin and the AD credit for making a quality interim hire (- Coach Grobe acc coach of year 2006 wake forrest) was selected by a sesrch team to be a bridge while admin struture was put in place and a long detail search was made.
Lots of guys stayed and gave baylor a 7-6 season and bowl victory over boise state.
Rhule came in with the total support of admin and AD.

He did great left program at high point.
Baylor went shopping for a new coach and hired the DC of national champions LSU.
Year 1 He struggled but got the Players to stay , but re did the offensive coaching staff.
