Nebraska is set to hire Gus Felder as its executive director of player development, the Pennsylvania Scholastic Football Coaches Association said Thursday. Felder played at Penn State and most recently worked with Cornhuskers coach Matt Rhule with the Carolina Panthers.

Rhule hired Felder in 2020 as the Panthers’ assistant strength coach and promoted him to director of player engagement in 2021. He held that role through the 2022 season, and is now reuniting with Rhule in Lincoln.

Prior to his time with the Panthers, Felder worked as the athletics director at Bethlehem Christian Academy from 2019-20 and as the director of player development at Georgia Tech in 2019. He also spent three years as the director of strength and conditioning at Miami from 2016-19 and was an assistant strength and conditioning specialist at Georgia from 2014-16.

Felder played at Penn State from 1998-2002 and was a First Team All-Big Ten selection in 2001 and 2002. He briefly played in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns before getting into coaching.

I'm afraid i'm gonna get the Diabetes from drinking all of the Rhule-Aid. He just seems to surround himself with good hearted hardworking people. They all have the same ilk. And much of it feels like it goes beyond just football. These are people from diverse backgrounds that seem to really be passionate about being a positive influence on young people.

I get a little lost in what all these job titles mean

All I can think from Frost's Staff is Wilhite, Dillon Bros and Ron Brown. Quite a few of these hires feel like they could be in the mold of a Ron Brown where they connect with the kids and help mentor them while still being football people. Omar Hale is playing Madden with recruits and some of these other hires have deep connections to Texas, Philly, Florida & Georgia. It really feels like a well thought out plan. Also impressed with the loyalty this staff has to Rhule as they will follow him anywhere.

What's ol Ron Burgandy Brown doin now?

Ron Brown and Vince Guinta are still there, doing what? Unknown, but it will probably be announced soon whether they're retained or not by Rhule.

I'm guessing Guinta is retained.

I'm guessing Guinta is retained.

He's still extremely active with recruits and given how much other house cleaning there's been he ain't going no where

 

[Huskerforlife]

I hope you're right, guinta is good to keep.

Same. It seems like every behind the scenes hire we make has the same words in their title just in a different order.

At some point it'd be interesting to see an article with a sort of organizational hierarchy of the off-the-field positions *cough* @Zack Carpenter *cough*
