Matt Rhule, head coach of the University of Nebraska football team, made an unexpected appearance in HBO’s series “Lanterns,” where he gave a character named Noah Macon a Nebraska hat, indicating that Macon will play college football for the Cornhuskers. This cameo occurred just hours after Nebraska won their fifth consecutive game against Maryland with a score of 48-23, marking their first 5-0 start since 2016. Rhule’s NFL coaching record includes an 11-27 win-loss ratio over two seasons with the Carolina Panthers before he joined Nebraska in November 2022 on an eight-year contract worth $74 million.
