Nebraska Football: Rhule Makes Third Coaching Change
•
Head coach Matt Rhule makes coaching changes for Nebraska football, letting go of defensive line coach Terry Bradden. This marks the third coaching change this offseason. Rhule confirms the decision, stating theyre actively seeking a new defensive line coach. Bradden, who joined the staff for just one season, had previously coached at Florida Atlantic and Bethune-Cookman. The change aligns with new defensive coordinator Rob Aurichs vision for the defense. Associate head coach Phil Snow leads the defense for the upcoming bowl game, with special teams coordinator Mike Ekeler, outside linebackers coach Phil Simpson, and graduate assistant Ira Savage-Lewis handling defensive line coaching duties. Rhule hints at potential new hires for the bowl game, suggesting these changes might be the last for this offseason, but Aurich could push for further adjustments.
