Gamecock Central reported Monday afternoon that Kristin Coggin, South Carolina’s director of performance nutrition since 2017, was taking a nutritionist’s job at NU. A Husker program source confirmed the news Monday evening.
Coggin had previously served on Alabama’s staff as a performance nutrition coordinator before the six-year stint at South Carolina. Scoggin graduated with two degrees from Tennessee, where she was part of the rowing team.
In football, she’d replace Dave Ellis, who was fired quickly after Nebraska introduced coach Matt Rhule. Ellis had returned to NU in 2018 to team up with then-coach Scott Frost and oversee the entire performance nutrition department.
The Huskers spent $4,122,625 during the 2021-22 fiscal year on non-travel food items.
Kristin Coggin joined the Gamecocks in May 2017 as the Director – Football Nutrition. As team dietitian she is responsible for managing all aspects of performance nutrition for the team which includes coordinating all meals throughout the year, counseling athletes, and analyzing the athletes body compositions and hydration needs. She collaborates with the coaching and training staffs to provide updates on nutrition concerns, priorities, and accomplishments for each individual player.
Coggin previously served on the Alabama staff as a Registered Dietitian/Performance Nutrition Coordinator for two years. She worked closely with football, men’s basketball, softball and several other sports. The Crimson Tide reached CFP National Championship in both years.
Coggin graduated from Tennessee with degrees in psychology in 2012 and in nutrition in 2014, which lead to a dietetic internship at Cal Poly-Pomona.
The Pulaski, Tenn., native had a successful athletic career as part of the Lady Vols rowing team. She won two conference titles and competed for an NCAA Championship.
