Nebraska Football Overhauls Coaching Staff

Ed Foley will no longer serve as Nebraska's special teams coordinator, a decision confirmed by Nebraska Athletics amid a broader overhaul directed by head coach Matt Rhule. Foley's departure follows a challenging 2024 season marked by significant special teams failures, including 10 blocked kicks and punts, and notable errors in the Pinstripe Bowl. While Foley's future role within the program remains uncertain, Nebraska has already made strategic moves by securing punter Jack McCallister and long snapper Kevin Gallic through the transfer portal. This change is part of a larger coaching staff reorganization that includes new appointments for offensive and defensive coordinator positions to resolve persistent performance issues. Foley had previously followed Rhule through various coaching positions, emphasizing his significant influence in in-state recruiting for Nebraska. The decision to part ways marks a notable shift in Nebraska's strategy to enhance its special teams' effectiveness for the upcoming season.
