Addison Williams, possible new DB Coach

[Fargo Husker]

He's set to be unemployed, most likely, as Frost will probably want his guy. So not a situation where we're necessarily giving him a big raise, but he's looking for an opportunity and we're also a jump up into a major conference.

Per Dean, UCF “doesn’t want him to leave.” So I’d imagine we’ll pay him a healthy salary.

4* DL in the portal. Could follow Mahlzahn tho.

Interesting that Frost is fighting with Nebraska over a coach. Wonder what dirt he’s slanging

Someone help me out with what happened in 2019 at Auburn. Quick Wikipedia search shows Kevin Steele as the DC there from 2016-2020.

Williams was an analyst/assistant to the head coach at Auburn in 2019

If Ed Foley can make $500k a year then I have no issue with a big time DB coach making $700k.

So per the reddit

Because he isn't a defensive coordinator yet. He was more of an emergency hire after Travis Williams left at the end of 2022. He's a good recruiter and we had some solid defensive backs come through, but they all would transfer away. I think he's probably a good defensive backs coach and a good talent evaluator. I can't say how he develops anyone because none of our good DBS have actually stayed more than 1-2 years.

His time as defensive coordinator was not good. I do think ucf was trying to keep him as DB coach, but he wanted to stay as dc. He probably would rather go to Nebraska than get demoted again.

so possibly a good recruiter/evaluator.

They don’t have the money

They don’t have the money

Nebraska has orders of magnitude more money than someone like UCF

That’s what I was saying. I think UCF has cash issues. Don’t know how serious. But there was talk that they couldn’t afford buyout of Malzahn if they had to fire him

Interesting. I know several Addisons. They are all chicks.

Yeah I agree

So per the reddit




so possibly a good recruiter/evaluator.

So UCF doesn’t have the money to retain talent he was bringing in & their ability to do so will only get worse over the next 3 years. Add in their AD hiring a coach for a discount & I’d say there was zero shot this guy was staying for a demotion
