Overview

  • Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola declared, "He ain't going nowhere," saying Rhule remains unfazed by outside chatter and focused on Friday's game at Minnesota.
  • Rhule told reporters he loves Penn State but reaffirmed his commitment to Nebraska, noting constant communication with AD Troy Dannen about the program's direction.
  • Penn State fired James Franklin on Oct. 12, and The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman identified Rhule and Indiana’s Curt Cignetti as leading candidates, though no public offer or move has been reported.
  • Coverage cites Rhule’s status as a Penn State alum and his prior work with Kraft at Temple as key factors driving the speculation.
  • Nebraska is 5-1 and ranked No. 25 in the AP poll under Rhule this season after a win over Maryland, reinforcing calls for continuity in Lincoln.
