Ed Foley is out after two seasons as the Nebraska special teams coordinator. News broke over a busy weekend that the Huskers and Matt Rhule will be searching for Foley’s replacement this month after the Huskers’ struggles in the kicking, coverage and returns phase forced a change.

What kind of a job is the Nebraska special teams coordinator position? Connor and Mitch discuss, along with talk about the latest departure from the Huskers, tight end Thomas Fidone, and the latest addition, linebacker Marques Watson-Trent from Georgia Southern. Watson-Trent was the Sun Belt defensive player of the year in 2024. He ought to factor heavily in John Butler’s defensive scheme this year.

And we dive into Nebraska basketball. Fred Hoiberg’s Huskers beat UCLA 66-58 at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Saturday. Nebraska sits in good position to enter the first full week of the new year, safely off the NCAA bubble. But will it stay that way with a difficult schedule ahead, starting this week on the road against Iowa and Purdue? Join us.

The Friday mailbag show brings us a first question about Dylan Raiola as a mobile quarterback. Should we expect the Huskers to use Raiola’s ability to escape the pocket more during his sophomore season in 2025? Connor and Mitch weigh in.

Also, we’re talking about the College Football Playoff and its glaring omission of conference champions from the semifinal round to come. Changes are needed to the way the CFP is structured after the first year with 12 teams. We’ve got questions about Nebraska basketball ahead of the Huskers’ 2025 debut at Pinnacle Bank Arena, Saturday against UCLA.

And is there a need for Nebraska to make a break with Marcus Satterfield, the former offensive coordinator turned tight ends coach? Our hosts bring their thoughts. Join us.

In our first episode of 2025, Connor and Mitch break down the New Year’s Day addition of former Kentucky wide receiver Hardley Gilmore. Nebraska has now added three wide receivers from the transfer portal and lost four since the end of the regular season. A theme has emerged in this turnover of the position group under new assistant Daikiel Shorts. Can we expect it to extend to other spots on the roster?

One game remains in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. We discuss the emergence of Cam Skattebo and the greatness of Jeremiah Smith. Is the CFP headed for a Big Ten-only championship on Jan. 20?

And as the year begins, we take a look at Nebraska’s roster math. The Huskers sit in a manageable spot, and it’s a place that figures to help newly hired Dan Jackson at South Dakota State. Jackson, with deep connections to Omaha, might be able to benefit his home state in a way, too. Join us on this Thursday.
