Matt Rhule launches a new podcast and the name is downright sensational

It isn't often that a college head coach starts his own podcast. In fact, I could count the number of times it has happened in the post on one hand.

Yet, that is exactly what Nebraska head football coach Matt Rhule has done. Earlier this week, Rhule announced that he would host his own podcast, dubbed "House Rhules" (of course), where he would be as open and honest as possible.

"I don't have to be politically correct," Rhule said. "I can speak the truth because that's how we move the game forward."

In the first episode, which is now live, Rhule discusses everything from his starting quarterback Dylan Raiola being compared to Patrick Mahomes to his 19-year-old Australian punter Archie Wilson... to put it simply, the podcast could cover anything Nebraska football.

Rhule has undeniably been a hit-or-miss head coach since taking over the Cornhusker program. When he became the head coach in 2023, he was coming off a stint with the Carolina Panthers in the NFL, but was only able to lead Nebraska to a 5-7 overall record.

Then, largely behind the hype of Raiola and the rest of a promising roster, Rhule led the Cornhuskers to a bang-average 7-6 record last season, including a win over the Boston College Eagles in the Pinstripe Bowl.

This year, the expectations for Rhule's Cornhuskers continue to grow, but this podcast might be exactly what the Nebraska head coach needs to assuage the fans for at least one more season.

Cornhusker Nation likes Rhule's personality, but they would love to win more than just 50 percent of their regular-season games. Giving that very fanbase an extra taste of what their head coach is like could lessen the disappointment for another year or two.

Nebraska kicks off its 2025 season with a home game against the Cincinnati Bearcats on Thursday, Aug. 28, at 8 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
