Matt Rhule explains how his podcast came to be

Last week, NebraskasMatt Rhule announced a new podcast hell be hosting titled as House Rhules.

He has since gone into the decision as to why he felt it was important for him to try and do in this day and age as the head coach of the Huskers.Speaking with the media to end the week, Rhule said it was his idea to put out the podcast.

He did note they meant to put it out earlier, though, with the Cornhuskers season set to start this week on Thursday.It was my idea, Rhule said.

You know, I do a lot of podcasts.

People ask me and Im happy to do them.

And, as I started thinking about it, Im like, well, why arent we doing one?You know, my goal was to have it kind of in the offseason, kind of leading into the season.

It just took a lot to get it going because, obviously, we wanted to do it right, added Rhule.

And so, its kind of delved into the season.As Rhule put it, the thought behind it is to bring more attention to their university and football program in Lincoln.

His hope is that it can showcase their players, as well as recruits in the future, in a way that can help them have a chance to earn some value for themselves, like in name, image, and likeness.This is the new world of college sports.

Its like, you know one of my goals is to be able to do stuff with our players and hope that we can get them some NIL money from doing an interview with us...But, you know, to be able to have it be Husker centric but still touch on other topics? Hopefully, you know, we can just continue to put the University of Nebraska and our football program out there for people to see, said Rhule.

And, I think, for recruits, you know I think I said this to you guys before.

If you have not gone to that second floor, you have got to go walk through it.

Recruits our ability to help you build your brand? I mean, content, you know, these things are really important to this generation of guys and theyre really good at it.Football is priority number one for Rhule, saying he can cancel it if the podcast isnt accomplishing what theyre intending it too.

Still, for one hour a week for now, Rhule thinks House Rhules could be really worth it for them all at Nebraska.We just think its, you know, an opportunity for us to go out there and, you know, do some stuff.

I already do a bunch of media stuff anyway during the week.

Sometimes, people dont even see.

So, we just have to schedule out.

You know, we did a lot of stuff ahead of time.

I have to schedule out probably an extra hour of the day now one day a week to make sure we do this at a high level.

You know, I think youll see me doing some regular mainstream media hits also, said Rhule.

And, again, we have to win on the field.

We all get that, right.

Like, you have to be relevant on the field.

But...having us out there is really, really important.

Having us out there for recruits is really important.So, yeah, that was kind of the thought.

Like, hey, lets go out there and do that, you know, and hopefully get some interesting guests and just do it year-round, Rhule said.

So, well do it until you know, if no one watches it, then well cancel it.

But, if people watch it, then well do it and Ill do the best I can with it.Rhule announces launch of House Rhules PodcastOn Thursday this week, Rhule announced his podcast titled House Rhules.
