Nebraska coach Matt Rhule just finished his third season in Lincoln and CBS Sports had a lot to say. Rhule was one of 24 FBS hires in the 2022-23 coaching carousel, but only 16 made it to at least one game of the 2025 season.
Rhule is 19-19 in his three seasons at Nebraska, but has a 10-17 record in the Big Ten Conference. Fans were expecting a third-year jump for Huskers but the team finished with a record of 7-6 and lost five of its last seven

The grades were based on each coach’s success over three years and each team’s performance against its peers. With that said, CBS Sports did hold back when assessing the Huskers’ coach.
“Stabilizing the Cornhuskers on the field is a positive, but Rhule gets a middling grade for middling results. Nebraska has a 10-17 record against Big Ten competition and is still looking for a win over a ranked opponent under Rhule’s tenure.”
Rhule was given a C from CBS Sports. The Huskers open the 2026 season at home on Sept. 5 when they host Ohio at Memorial Stadium.
