In a move that was out of the blue on Tuesday afternoon, Nebraska announced that recently hired safeties coach Bob Elliott would be stepping down from that role due to health issues. Elliott, who had to take an AD job with Notre Dame and be off the field due to health issues as well, was just hired in February by Mike Riley to help install Bob Diaco’s system.
Elliott will be replaced on the field by Scott Booker, who was at Notre Dame as a special teams and tight ends coach from 2012-16. He had been hired at Nebraska already, though as a special teams consultant.
