""I absolutely love it here," Rhule said, "and I just want us to continue to take the steps needed for us to turn this thing into a beast and have players all across the country want to come here with the best facilities. We have elite fans. "I'm just looking at the future, but again, I love that place [Penn State], I love Pat, I love James Franklin and am sad that came to an end. I wish him the absolute best. But I'm really happy here.""
""And I want to be a great father, and I want to be a great college football coach. And so I'm not going to talk a lot about job openings when they come.""
