Report: Nebraska Football, Special Teams Coordinator Ed Foley Part Ways
The Huskers will have someone new in charge of special teams in 2025.
Nebraska football will have someone new in charge of special teams in 2025.
That’s according to a report from FootballScoop. Special teams coordinator Ed Foley and Nebraska are parting ways.
Foley spent two seasons in Lincoln with head coach Matt Rhule. Before that, he was with Rhule at the Carolina Panthers, Baylor, and Temple.
With more than three decades of coaching experience, Foley spent most of the past decade working with special teams. Even so, Nebraska’s third phase of the game has struggled in the Rhule-Foley era. Those issues have included having numerous punts and field goals blocked, as well as issues in the place kicking operation that extend beyond the kickers themselves.
Special teams is the third coordinator position to see a change going into year three for Nebraska. Dana Holgorsen (offense) and John Butler (defense) have taken over for Marcus Satterfield and Tony White, respectively.
Matt Rhule ‘Doubts’ Nebraska Will Play a Traditional Spring Game; Still Searching for Special Teams Coordinator
The Husker head coach met with the media for the first time since the bowl game in December.
After Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen said he wasn’t going to call it a spring game earlier this week, coach Matt Rhule went a step further.
“I highly doubt (there will be a spring game),” Rhule said at his mid-winter press conference Saturday. “I hate to say it like this, it’s really because last year we were one of the more televised spring games and I dealt with a lot of people offering our players a lot of opportunities after that.”
