Rhule, like Sanders, is attempting to lead his program back to its former glory—the Cornhuskers have not so much as made a bowl game since 2016. " was a professional, did a phenomenal job," Coach Sanders said. "Maybe not the job that he aspired to do, but he has a ton of experience and I love what he's accomplished in his college coaching career."Patrick Andres is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
