The Jets have expressed interest in Baylor coach Matt Rhule for their head coaching position, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com tweets. It’s unclear when or if an interview has been scheduled, however. 
The Jets are scheduled to be in Texas on Sunday to interview Cowboys assistant Kris Richard, so that may be a logical time to chat with Rhule. The Baylor coach lacks real NFL experience outside of his 2012 stint as the Giants’ offensive line coach, but he has been on the professional radar nonetheless. Last year, he was a candidate for the Colts’ opening before the Josh McDaniels fiasco.
Rhule does have vast amounts of collegiate experience, as he’s been working in the NCAA since 1998. Rhule was head coach at Tempe for four seasons before taking over Baylor, where posted a disappointing 1-11 record in 2017. This past season wasn’t a banner year for Baylor either, but the Bears at least finished above the .500 mark.
8-17 record at Baylor and 36-40 over HC record? This better be fake news…
Overall*
The circumstances he dealt with when he took over at Baylor tell way more than the record
Wrong.
100% right. He took over a dumpster fire program thanks to art briles (who is a human piece of shi.) and his rapegate program. The fact he has them in a bowl in year 2 and won that bowl shows he is a real deal coach. Baylor will have to pull out all the stops to keep him.
Can we stop adding “gate” to the end of everything?
He’s not an NFL coach yet though c’mon…let’s be real here.
You clearly don’t know art briles. Good man – scapegoat. Remember it was Briles who first removed Josh Gordon from the Bears when it was RG 3’s senior year and Gordon was projected #2 WR in the country. He never was a win at all cost kind of coach. Learn the facts and you’ll be kinder to Briles

He coached at Temple not Tempe.
You know what he meant. I didn’t even notice the typo until I saw this comment anyway.
