Special Teams Coach Hot Board

[Huskerscoop]

mostly cause he worked for rhul

He’s like 65 years old. I would not be a fan of that hire at all. I’d rather make Koch be the coach.

???????????????????????????????????

The eagles asst ST coach.

I have an uneducated opinion that it could be Koch

That’s my guess too or Blackburn from the Rams.

Tyler Brown (Eagles) makes a lot of sense and fits Rhules MO.

It does. I didn’t know he coached under Rhule at Temple.

The only thing that doesn't fit - assuming this would be a done deal - is that it is not announced. This guy is #3 in the ST leadership chain. Normally a team wouldn't care if someone at that level was announced before their departure. It's more common that full-blown assistant coaches are kept quiet until the season is over.

Don't they usually announce only after the background checks, recruiting test passed, and officially contract-signed?

I agree with you. Could it be Chase Blackburn from the Rams if you wouldn't announce it yet?

I am caveating my observation - my observation only applies if this is a done deal (and his current employer doesn't want it announced until their season is completed. As you suggest, it is very possible - perhaps likely - there is no done deal yet. "No done deal" could mean anything from there not being a candidate we have decided upon yet to there is a guy want to hire and would accept except we need to get the current employer agree to an early termination of a contract with time to run.

That's why I am implying, yes.

If it is Brown, any thoughts?

What little I could find on line speaks to his ‘specialty’ being working with kickers.

agreed - he and his Dad both appear to be primarily kicking coaches

I’m not saying our kickers did a great job in ’24 and don’t need some help, but protection schemes and setting up anything that looks like a return are higher or my list of ‘strengths’ I’d like to see in Foley’s replacement.

Not saying it isn't him but yeah he is the special teams assistant not the assistant coach just the assistant.

Tyler Brown

Is anyone else getting worried there is no info or announcement on the new ST coach? -OldRed

He’s like 65 years old. I would not be a fan of that hire at all. I’d rather make Koch be the coach.

Which would be an interesting dynamic if his son turns out to be a bust.

So you think 7-6 Nebraska is hiring a sitting NFL special teams coordinator from a playoff team?

I guess crazier things have happened but not even sure he's the most likely Rams assistant to get hired by Nebraska.

Crazier things have happened but I would not expect this...

Not even sure he's the most likely Rams assistant to get hired by Nebraska.

I am not predicting Blackburn. I said not announcing the Coach if the deal was done was more consistent with it being someone like Blackburn.

I think it is more likely there isn't anyone locked up yet, as I said above.
