Matt Rhule Ranks 32nd Among College Football Coaches for 2025 Season
CBS Sports has unveiled its ranking of the top 68 college football coaches for the upcoming 2025 season, placing Nebraska’s head coach Matt Rhule at 32nd overall. This list reflects Rhule’s journey as he aims to build upon a promising 2024 season where the Cornhuskers finished with a 7-6 record and clinched a victory in the Pinstripe Bowl—the program’s first bowl win since 2016.
After a 5-7 finish in 2023, Nebraska showed improvement last season, but Rhule’s ranking fell three spots, with some voters remaining cautious about his second-year performance. Tom Fornelli, who assessed Rhule’s placement, noted that while achieving bowl eligibility is commendable, the margin between a 6-6 season and a more competitive 8-4 record can influence perceptions critically.
Looking ahead, the Nebraska football program is gearing up for a major leap in performance, supported by a mix of talented freshmen and key transfers on both offense and defense. Rhule has a history of executing significant improvements in his third year, evidenced during his tenures at Temple and Baylor, which raises hopes among fans that a similar trajectory could unfold at Nebraska.
As the program prepares for the 2025 campaign, a favorable schedule adds an optimistic outlook for the Cornhuskers, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
