His special teams almost cost us the game. How he is still employed is a major head scratcher.
Fire Ed Foley
- Thread starter Clevinger
- Start date
We would be 8-4/9-3 if not for the special teams
The answer is the same as why Sat is still being paid by the university. Hopefully this is taken care of properly in the off-season.
I believe he has a contract so either way he will be getting paid for another 12 months.
I don't know stats or anything, but the fact that Utah State, Wisconsin, and Nebraska (two separate stints) all made him ST coordinator tells me he probably knows a thing or two. No way he could be a downgrade at this point.
I don’t know why people are upset with Foley. I believe he has been given at least three game balls this season, unfortunately by opposing teams.
Hire the BYU assistant ST coach....those guys know how to do it.
No, his contract ends 12/31/24.
Reminder… Fat fuk Foley makes $550k a year and let’s not forget the assistant special teams coach that is paid $85k a year.
WTF!!!
First of all I thought Ed Foley was a lot older. He is only 57 years old. I was browsing the web and I see the World-Herald has an article titled , Matt Rhule: “Total overhaul of special teams coming……” I do not subscribe to the paper. Did anyone read it and what does it say?
A snippit.
And then special teams, we need a complete and total overhaul of that. We have to be better at that. I always put those things on my shoulders, we'll get it done. But it has not been good enough this year."

Rhule wants "complete and total overhaul" of special teams
After another game with poor special teams play, Matt Rhule touched on the Huskers' third phase of the game.
ThanksA snippit.

Sounds to me like the athletic department needs DOGE.
Based on Rhule’s comments I think we can all rest assured that Foley is going to be fired or reassigned.
His contract is up in a couple days.
I think he’s just going to “fix the glitch.”
Matt Rhule needs to hire another "consultant" and then move Foley somewhere else and have the new consultant coach special teams.
Lol when there are TWO leaders of an "efficiency group" you know it's bullshit.
2 year contract ends on Tuesday, so they have to sign another 2 year contract with the exception of Holgorsen who has already been signed as offensive coordinator..
Which tells me that a lack of extension of his contract at this point, at least publicly disclosed, is telling us that Foley will not be retained in his current position and he is deciding on whether to accept the demotion or will make a choice to move along.
Blocked kicks had a lot to do with bad snap or catching the snap or both, when at didn’t happen we were converting.
But getting that many blocked punts was totally inexcusably..
Ineould like to see a media member actually grow a pair and ask Rhule about Foley. No reason he should be gettimg over 500k or be coaching at all for Nebraska.
And I believe that Satt has one year left - he had an initial 3 year contract because he was such a great catch in 2022
