A former Nebraska quarterback has accepted a job at an FBS school. Joe Ganz has been hired as the tight ends coach of Middle Tennessee State.
Ganz has spent the last four seasons at Northern Iowa coaching wide receivers, working for current MTSU offensive coordinator Bodie Reeder. Blue Bomber head coach Derek Mason believes Ganz perfectly fits his team.
“Joe has had the opportunity to work with Bodie Reeder and was with Bo Pelini at Youngstown State, where they won several titles. He is a winner. He played quarterback, which gives us another offensive mind in that room who understands the Xs and Os and how to get it from the class to the grass quickly and efficiently.”
Ganz played at Nebraska from 2005 to 2008. During the 2008 campaign, the Palos Heights, Illinois native started all 13 games for the Huskers, throwing for 3,568 yards with 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
By the end of his collegiate career, Ganz had set 23 Nebraska school records. You can find a photo gallery of Joe Ganz’s
