A Nebraska assistant football coach announced their resignation Friday afternoon. Tight ends coach Bob Wager told head coach Matt Rhule and athletic director Trev Alberts he is leaving the team following a citation for a driving offense he received earlier in the week.
“It is with great remorse that I resign from my position as assistant football coach at the University of Nebraska,” Wager said. “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.”
Wager was entering his first year as the tight ends coach for Nebraska. He previously coached at Arlington Martin High School in Arlington, Texas for 17 seasons.
Josh Martin will be elevated to a full-time assistant role as the tight ends coach for Nebraska. Martin joined Nebraska’s staff earlier this year as a special teams analyst. He previously coached at Little Elm High School in Texas, along with being a tight ends coach at SMU and Arizona State.
