Husker tight ends coach Bob Wager turned in his resignation today (Friday) to the University and to Head coach Matt Rhule. Husker athletics released this statement.
“It is with great remorse that I resign from my position as assistant football coach at the University of Nebraska. Earlier this week I received a citation for a driving offense that I regret immensely. I am grateful for the opportunity extended to me, and sincerely sorry for any negativity my poor decision has brought to my family, our team, our staff, and all those that I have disappointed.”
With fall camp set to begin on Monday, Wager was getting set for for his first year on staff as part of Matt Rhule’s new staff following a long career as a high school head football coach in Texas. At Arlington Martin, he had guided that program to the playoffs 17 straight years.
.Josh Martin will now be elevated to a full-time assistant role on the Nebraska staff, with the responsibility of coaching the Huskers’ tight ends. Martin has seven years of coaching experience at the Football Bowl Subdivision level, coaching tight ends at both SMU and Arizona State. Martin joined Head Coach Matt Rhule’s staff earlier this year as a special teams analyst.
