Walters Out as Nebraska Assistant Coach

The Nebraska football program announced Friday afternoon that the Huskers and Troy Walters “have mutually agreed to part ways.”

Walters was a member of Scott Frost’s staff for two years at UCF and came to Nebraska in 2018 where he served as Wide Receivers coach and Offensive Coordinator. He was a finalist for the 2017 Broyles Award, given annually to the nation’s top assistant coach.

“Troy has been a valued member of our coaching staff for the past four years,” Frost said in the release. “Troy is a good mentor for his players, provides great energy on and off the field, and carries himself with a presence off the field that will be missed. I want to thank him for his work on our coaching staff, and wish him and his family all the best going forward.”

Rumors had abounded on social media and message boards about the future for Walters at Nebraska. Among those were conflicting reports about an offer to former Husker quarterback and current LSU assistant Mickey Joseph to be Wide Receivers Coach and Passing Game Coordinator.

The departure of Walters leaves one opening among the assists for the football program, with Offensive Coordinator/Passing Game Coordinator, Wide Receivers Coach, and Special Teams Coordinator all vacant. The Special Teams position will likely be filled by a yet to be named analyst.
