Heading into the final weekend before fall camp begins, Nebraska football has a change at one assistant position.
Bob Wager, brought in earlier this year by head coach Matt Rhule to coach the tight ends, has resigned.
“It is with great remorse that I resign from my position as assistant football coach at the University of Nebraska,” said Wager in a statement to Rhule and Athletic Director Trev Alberts. “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.”
Immediately replacing Wager on the full-time staff is Josh Martin. 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.
Rhule is set to meet with media Monday at the beginning of fall camp.
