LINCOLN — Nebraska will have its eighth safeties coach in eight seasons after coach Mike Riley announced Tuesday that Bob Elliott, the safeties coach for the last four months, will step away from that role and instead serve as a defensive analyst within the program. NU had hired Elliott away from Notre Dame, where he’d been in an off-the-field role for the last two seasons.

“We are sorry to see Bob Elliott leave our full-time on-field staff,” Riley said in a statement. “Bob is a wonderful man and a great football coach, and he has built a great rapport with our staff and the players in our program. We respect Bob’s decision, and we are confident that he will continue to have a positive impact on our program.”

Riley said mid-June is “an unusual time” to make a coaching change.

Sounds like might be a health issue...was doing dialysis.

They had another former ND coach as a defensive analyst on staff who will fill in.
