Original Title: Matt Rhule addresses Penn State rumors on McAfee: “(Nebraska) is not a jumping off job. This is a destination job . . . And I love Pat Kraft, but they’ll find the best coach for them, whoever that is.”
Full quote:
“With my team, it’s just unbridled honestly. You tell them the truth and don’t B.S. ‘em, because they’ll know. And secondly, just with what’s out there, this is it, this is part of (being a coach). It’s better than when I was in Carolina and they were chanting to fire me, it’s better than being on a hot seat list. So having other schools maybe be interested in you is pretty cool. But I don’t do that during the season, I don’t mess around with that, I don’t play that.
And, at the same time, (Nebraska) is not a jumping off job. This is a destination job. This is one of the greatest places in the world. … I can do whatever I want here, I have a great young team, the youngest team in the Big Ten. Think about how good we’ll be next year. Now I’m not thinking about next year, but where we are right now, we’re learning, learning, learning. Think about where we’re going to go with (sophomore quarterback) Dylan (Raiola) and all these guys. So I refuse to be distracted.
At the same time, when it’s your alma mater, you have to show it love and respect. And I love Pat Kraft, but they’ll find the best coach for them, whoever that is. But this is a destination job that should be a national bully and should be a beast, and I think we’re making our way to doing that."
