Nebraska’s continuing struggles with special teams are nothing new; it’s a problem that predated Scott Frost. (Remember Bruce Read and his $450,000 salary?) Nebraska has tried multiple coaches over the years to take charge...and for the most part fail at the job.
- 2021: Mike Dawson
- 2020: Jonathan Rutledge
- 2018-19: Jovan DeWitt
- 2017: Scott Booker
- 2015-16: Bruce “450K” Read
- 2012-14: Ross Els
- 2008-11: John Papuchis
I’d argue that every special teams coach since Papuchis has been roundly criticized, though some might look better now, in retrospect.
