Nebraska Head Football Coach Matt Rhule has completed the hiring of his first full-time coaching staff. On Wednesday Rhule announced the addition of three assistant coaches.
Bob Wager will join the Nebraska staff as tight ends coach, Rob Dvoracek will coach the linebackers and Garret McGuire will serve as wide receivers coach. The three newest additions are pending the completion of the University hiring process and join seven assistant coaches hired to Rhule’s staff since he was named Nebraska’s head coach on Nov. 26.
“I am proud to add three more outstanding football coaches to our Nebraska staff,” Rhule says. “Bob’s experience as a head coach will be invaluable for me, and Rob and Garret’s experience in the NFL will help our student-athletes as they chase their goals to play at the highest level. Each of the three coaches bring great energy to Nebraska and will fit our program very well. I am excited to have all our full-time assistants on board as we finish up the 2023 recruiting cycle and begin to work toward the start of spring practice.”
Wager comes to Nebraska after a highly successful high school head coaching career in Texas. Dvoracek joins the Nebraska staff after spending the previous two seasons coaching for the Carolina Panthers.
McGuire worked for two seasons in the National Football League with the Panthers in 2021 and 2022. He joined Rhule’s staff in Charlotte immediately after his playing career at Baylor and worked as an offensive assistant for the Panthers.
