Matt Rhule Sends Retirement Message Over Attacks on 13YO Daughter Weeks After Shane Beamer’s Family Faced Similar Ordeal

Matt Rhule has heard the boos and the “fire him” chants before. But this time, a fan crossed the line by confronting his 13-year-old daughter after Nebraska’s 17-10 loss to Washington. On Monday, Rhule admitted he would rather walk away from coaching than let his children grow up in that environment. The Cornhuskers are now 5-3 overall and 2-3 in the Big Ten after three straight defeats. Saturday night in Lincoln was already ugly. Nebraska led 7-3 with 1:30 remaining before Washington’s Demond Williams Jr. connected with Chris Lawson for a 25-yard go-ahead touchdown.
