1 - Matt Rhule, Nebraska
This is a great hire for Nebraska. The Cornhuskers program has been teetering for two decades and has been nearly irrelevant since joining the Big Ten in 2011. They are coming off their 6th straight losing season (7th in 8 years) and are light years away from their heyday of the 1990s. Rhule has resurrected programs at Temple and Baylor, so the hope is he can do the same in Lincoln. He is an enthusiastic guy who is willing to sell his program -- but remember that his first season at both places were rebuilding years (2-10 at Temple; 1-11 at Baylor) before the program took off. Also, he's not known to stick around for long ... but that may not be an issue at Nebraska, where he could build the Huskers back to a last job kind of program, and his shine from the NFL may be gone after his poor showing with the Carolina Panthers
