John Butler named Nebraska’s new defensive coordinator after 1 season coaching secondary

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! — John Butler has been promoted from secondary coach to defensive coordinator at Nebraska, coach Matt Rhule announced Tuesday night. “John Butler has been a great addition to our staff this season and has proven he is the right coach to lead our defense,” Rhule said. “John has previous success as a defensive coordinator in the Big Ten Conference and has a history of coaching elite defenses throughout his career.” With Butler in charge of the secondary, the Huskers ran back three interceptions for touchdowns, their most since 2013. The Blackshirt tradition is one of the best in college football, and we are committed to playing great defense at Nebraska.” Butler came to Nebraska after spending the previous 10 years in the NFL, including six seasons with the Buffalo Bills.
