Matt Rhule’s season with Baylor is now officially over, meaning the potential to make the leap from the college scene to the NFL is quite possible.
Rhule, who is fresh off a 26-14 loss at the Sugar Bowl to Georgia, will now conduct his meetings with NFL teams and is slated to meet with the New York Giants on Tuesday.
Rhule is also meeting with the Carolina Panthers, who fired Ron Rivera before the end of the 2019 season. He has since signed on as head coach of the Washington Redskins.
Rhule has ties to the Giants, previously serving as the assistant offensive line coach in 2012 under Tom Coughlin. After that year, he then jumped to the college scene, coaching for Temple and now, Baylor.
Once Pat Shurmur was dismissed as the head coach after two seasons, reports had circulated that Rhule was considered the early favorite for the Giants head coaching job, but Rhule also said that he didn’t rule out making a return to Baylor for the 2020 season either.
If Rhule is serious about a possible leap to the NFL, this week could be the test to see if he wants an NFL head coaching job, or if he’ll simply stay with Baylor for at least another season.
