Any idea on connection to coaching staff
Don't google. 2 Super Bowls with the New York Giants 2008-2012. LB and DE. Rhule went to Giants when Tollefson was leaving. Mike Waffle friends with Rhules agent. Rhule's agent said Waffle best DL coach. Dave came down as well. Hired on a temp contract. Said he was a DL coach. Started 1 game in the NFL. Helping with technique and positioning. Unsure what he has been involved with the past 13 years....But sounds like he's now a paid staff guy. I mean we just fired 2 NFL defensive guys. 3rd time is the charm. Again, might just be temporary.
Interview here:
Super Bowl champ helping Nebraska D-line for Las Vegas Bowl - he could stay on in 2026
Nebraska's Matt Rhule hired a Super Bowl champion to help the Husker d-line with its technique for the Las Vegas Bowl - and Dave Tollefson could have a role in
Appreciate the update. Couldn't find anything not behind a pay wall. Interesting he and Aaron Terry were there for 2-3 years together (2017-2019). Maybe we are looking at Terry as DL coach.....Getting Dave's take on him.
Pure speculation. Nothing else going on until the bowl game

Any word if he will become the D-Line coach or if they are looking at someone else?

Great question. Its so quiet on that end you could here a needle drop.
Likely a conversation with our new DC once he gets settled. And likely after the transfer portal madness.

As far as I've heard, he's not going to be the DL coach, but might be around as an assistant or analyst of some sort.
