"The former Baylor and Carolina Panthers coach turned down the opportunity to take over the Nebraska Cornhuskers, according to CBS Sports."

Anyone seen what he's referring to from CBS Sports?

Here is what he said:

Nebraska

Did Matt Rhule turn down the Cornhuskers this weekend? That was the word from several sources. Rhule had been the No. 1 candidate to replace Scott Frost. If Rhule has indeed taken his name out of consideration, that isn't necessarily a statement about the quality of the job. It's still a heavy lift for whoever takes Nebraska, but for Rhule, it may be a further indicator that he intends to sit out 2023 to rest and retrench. Rhule is at a point in his career where he can have his pick of jobs and not have to settle. His first two college jobs were bottom-of-the-barrel, last-place types (Temple, Baylor), but he made his reputation with worst-to-first success stories.

If Rhule is no longer available, does Nebraska turn its attention to Kansas' Lance Leipold? The 58-year-old coach has deep roots in the state of Nebraska as a former analyst at Nebraska-Omaha and assistant under Frank Solich with the Huskers. Has the shine worn off, though? The Jayhawks started 5-0 and were ranked but will finish 6-6 if they lose to Kansas State this week. Another name to watch at Nebraska: Washington first-year coach Kalen DeBoer.

I’m going to assume articles about candidates turning down our job is not good to have out there for future negotiation…right?
 
there is also this which suggests Rhule is hurting for options if he doesn't get Nebraska

Pretty different tone compared to everything else that has been published re: Rhule. Frames it as if Rhule is the desperate party here. Just further confirmation that every writer is putting their finger in the air without any concrete information.

Edit: Probably should take it with a grain of salt since Florio usually tosses hot garbage out there on a routine basis.

If they are getting info from parties in the negotiations, it doesn't means what they are printing is stuff they made up. It would be stuff the parties want out there. I am being serious here - there is no truth until there is or isn't a deal. Before that the parties themselves do not know how it will turn out. This is what happens when there is reporting about negotiations in progress.
