Mickey Joseph has changed up some coaching duties on the defensive side of the football and says Nebraska’s players have handled the last 48 hours “like champs.”
Joseph spoke to the media Tuesday for the first time since he became interim head coach after the firing Sunday of Scott Frost.
Erik Chinander remains defensive coordinator but now will also coach the safeties, while Travis Fisher is now in charge of the cornerbacks and nickels.
Also, Mike Cassano moves up from offensive analyst to coach the wide receivers, Joseph’s position group, on an interim basis.
“Cass is gonna handle that, the day-to-day operations, but I’ll still be involved with it,” Joseph said.
When asked about being Nebraska’s first black head coach, Joseph said, “It’s about Nebraska football. It’s bigger than me. I haven’t really thought about that. I’m more concerned about the boys and getting the boys ready to play on Saturday.”
