The final hire in Matt Rhule’s 2025 Nebraska football coaching staff makeover is complete, with the announcement by the school on Tuesday that Mike Ekeler is in as special teams coordinator. His addition and the transition for Terry Bradden from the Kansas Chiefs to the Huskers brings the number of on-field assistant coaches on staff in Lincoln to 13. 

In this episode, Connor and Mitch discuss the most important of Rhule’s offseason changes to the staff and go over questions within this group that remain. We also have an update on Connor’s encounter with Red Panda from Tuesday night. 

And we ask a question about the Nebraska offensive line: Do the Huskers have to build it from within? Despite going to the portal for two ready-made starters this year, that’s the Rhule philosophy. Join us for a lively discussion on this snowy Wednesday.
