A recent report has stated that Nebraska’s defensive coordinator has interviewed for a head coaching position. The San Diego Union-Tribune has reported Tony White has interviewed for the San Diego State Aztec head coach opening.
This season was White’s first season at Nebraska after having spent the past three seasons at Syracuse. In 12 games this season, the Huskers ranked 14th in total defense, surrendering 303.5 yards per game. White’s defense also ranks 17th in scoring defense, giving up an average of 18.25 points per game.
The report states that SDSU hopes to have a head coach by the middle of December.
When he spoke to the media two weeks ago, SDSU athletic director John David Wicker said he planned to have a new coach named by mid-December. However, that time frame leaves less than a week before the NCAA’s early signing period, which is Dec. 20-22.
White has a history with San Diego State, having coached cornerbacks from 2009-2017. He learned under former SDSU head coach Rocky Long. The Aztecs are looking for a new coach after Brady Hoke announced his retirement following the conclusion of the 2023 season.
