The Matt Rhule tenure with the Carolina Panthers has come to an end.

After going 11-27 in three seasons with the Panthers the team has seen enough.

So what is next for Rhule?

Well, it seems obvious that he will return to the higher ranks where he has had plenty of success over the years.

Before Carolina, Rhule was a unconfined higher mentor at both Temple and Baylor.

So what higher jobs might be interested in hiring Rhule?

Three jobs come to mind, all of which have rich traditions in football.

 

Top Higher Openings

The first team that comes to mind is the Wisconsin Badgers.

Wisconsin fired their coach, Paul Chryst, without starting 2-3 in the 2022 season.

Playing in the Big Ten, the Badgers need a good mentor that can compete with Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan.

At every school, Rhule has coached he has gotten the weightier out of his players.

There is no reason to think he can not do that in the Big Ten.

The other unconfined job that has struggled to find the right mentor is Nebraska.

Scott Frost was fired from his alma mater without a 1-2 start to this season.

In three seasons at Nebraska, Frost has a record of 16-31.

Rhule could take over Nebraska and lead them when to relevance.

Another Big Ten team, just like Wisconsin, Rhule can recruit good players to play in one of the weightier conferences in the nation.

Also, the Big Ten West is the weaker of the two divisions of the big ten.

Teams like Wisconsin and Nebraska could only be a mentor yonder from making a run to the Big Ten Championship game.

According to Odds Shark, Nebraska has the weightier odds at landing Rhule.

The third higher job that Rhule could take is at Arizona State.

Coaching in the Pac-12 would be easier to win games than in the Big Ten.

But, Arizona State is not a school that stands out for football.

It seems like an odd fit for Rhule to go to the Pac-12.

But, Arizona State did just fire Herm Edwards, who was a former NFL coach.

So it would not be crazy to see them go when to a former NFL mentor again.

Ultimately, Rhule has shown the worthiness to have success at multiple spots in college.

He should get one of these higher jobs next year and has a endangerment for much increasingly higher success in the future.
