Why Nebraska’s Matt Rhule was ’embarrassed’ by Bill Belichick
Matt Rhule is heading into his second year as head football coach at Nebraska, and before the season starts, he wanted to get a chance to learn from one of the greatest coaches ever.
He had that chance recently when former Patriots head coach and six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick joined the program to speak with him and the other Cornhuskers coaches, and Rhule said he was blown away by the experience.
“He is so smart. He’s seen so much that he can make the complex so simple that it humbles you and embarrasses you,” Rhule said of Belichick. “I was embarrassed yesterday listening to him. How smart he is. How simple it was.”
Belichick departed the Patriots after last season and, though he hasn’t retired from the game, he hasn’t taken any official jobs with a team, instead taking some time to go around the country and meet with other coaches, including some he used to work with.
Among those schools he visited was Washington, where his son, Steve, is working as defensive coordinator for the Huskies football program, a job he took after spending a few years working for his father in the Patriots franchise.
Rhule hopes that some of Belichick’s wisdom rubbed off on him and his fellow coaches heading into an important second season at Nebraska.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – A 20-year-old driver accused of reaching 160 mph while fleeing from state troopers in Lancaster County was arrested early Thursday.
The Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) said the incident began around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday when a trooper was patrolling on Interstate 80 in Lincoln, southeast of Lincoln Airport. A BMW sedan was reportedly seen speeding at more than 95 mph in a 65 mph zone.
The trooper attempted a traffic stop on the BMW, but the driver accelerated and fled eastbound, NSP said. A pursuit then began.
NSP said the BMW driver reached speeds of more than 160 mph on Interstate 80 before taking the exit at 56th Street and continuing south. The pursuit was discontinued out of concern for public safety.
The suspect vehicle was found several minutes later by another trooper. It was traveling westbound on Cornhusker Highway between 70th and 65th streets.
NSP said the driver again fled from law enforcement, turning northbound onto 56th Street, where another trooper successfully deployed stop sticks. The driver continued before coming to a stop near Highway 77 and Agnew Road in northern Lancaster County and ran off.
Troopers, with help from several other agencies, later found the driver when he returned home around 1:30 a.m. Thursday.
The driver, identified as Nathanael Campbell of Ceresco, was arrested on suspicion of flight to avoid arrest, second-offense willful reckless driving, obstructing a peace officer and other traffic violations. He was lodged in the Lancaster County Jail.
