Matt Rhule is officially getting introduced as the next head coach at Nebraska during a Monday afternoon press conference. As Rhule prepares to lead the Huskers into the future, AD Trev Alberts kicked off the press conference by discussing some specifics of the coaching search.
According to Alberts, he “interacted” with 13 candidates throughout his search for a new head coach. However, he remains adamant Rhule was always the target from the beginning.
“Candidate 1A for me and the University of Nebraska was always Matt Rhule, from the beginning,” said Alberts. “So we’re really glad we ended at that point.”
With so much pressure on getting this decision right, it is certainly encouraging to hear Alberts’ affirmation that Rhule was the top candidate from the start. Then again, it would be unlikely for Alberts to say otherwise after landing on Rhule.
