It's safe to say ESPN commentator Greg McElroy is a fan of Nebraska and Matt Rhule. 

The ESPN analyst had a chance to evaluate the recent hire of the head coach and expressed how the program will be impacted.

While talking on Always College Football, McElroy gave Rhule an exceptional grade of an A+.

"Could not be a better situation I think for Nebraska to go out and get a guy that’s done more with less, has identified diamonds in the rough already in the past,” McElroy said. “Did a great job at Temple, did a great job at Baylor and will do a great job at Nebraska. The guy has won everywhere he’s been.

"I’m so excited about the possibility of him taking what is a crazy good NIL situation, a crazy proud fan base and the ability to now go out and recruit in the state of Texas, where he’s familiar, I might add."

In June, Rhule agreed to an eight-year contract to become the Cornhuskers' new head coach. 

After turning programs like Temple and Baylor into winners during his tenure, Rhule has become one of the more respected coaches in college football.
