No. 24 Temple keeps Matt Rhule as coach with 6-year deal

 

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Temple says Matt Rhule has agreed to a six-year contract, keeping him at the helm of team that’s heading to a bowl game for the first time since 2011.
Financial terms of the deal announced Monday weren’t disclosed.
The third-year head coach has turned around a program that went 2-10 in 2013; 6-6 in 2014 and this year finished the regular season 10-3.
The No. 24 Owls will play Toledo in the Boca Raton Bowl on Dec. 22.
Athletic director Patrick Kraft says in a statement Rhule is responsible for making Temple a national program.
Rhule says while this has been a ”special season, there is still so much more that Temple football can accomplish.”
