UPDATE: Nebraska football at risk of losing Tony White

Just as the Nebraska football team believed they were past the concern of losing Tony White, a new opportunity has emerged that could be an ideal fit for the defensive coordinator. While the extent of his interest and UCLA’s interest in him remains uncertain, it’s a development that Husker fans should monitor closely.

With UCLA in search of a new head coach following Chip Kelly’s decision to step down, Tony White’s name has surfaced among potential candidates according to multiple reports. While Minnesota head coach PJ Fleck is reportedly the top target for UCLA, White has been mentioned as one of the leading contenders for the position.

Should UCLA be hesitant to meet Fleck’s potential salary demands or if Fleck decides against a new rebuilding project, White could emerge as a strong alternative. The prospect of leading his alma mater could also be an enticing factor for White, as coaches often find appeal in revitalizing their former schools.

Given the allure of guiding his alma mater to success, it’s plausible that White would seriously consider an offer from UCLA, even if he had declined other opportunities earlier in the offseason.

Again, Nebraska football is in risk of losing Tony White

This winter, White appeared to be considering leaving the Nebraska football team on a few occasions. He seemed to be on the verge of leaving until San Diego State interviewed him.

Before they hired Fran Brown, Syracuse had expressed interest, at least. Furthermore, there are now rumors that UCLA might contact.

The Bruins are rumored to want to move quickly, which is wonderful news. The majority believe Kelly’s replacement will start working in 96 hours. It looks like Nebraska football supporters won’t have to wait long to find out if they require a new defensive coordinator.
