The unranked Nebraska Football team is entering its third season under coach Matt Rhule. Though some successes and shortcomings have marred his tenure, he’s earned the respect of at least one of his colleagues. 

On Wednesday, Nebraska DB coach Addison Williams had nothing but good things to say about Rhule during a preseason press conference, per Randy Silver of NTV News. Williams noted that Rhule and company are building a strong culture at Nebraska. 

“This is no knock on anybody,” Williams said. “I’ve worked at some really good places for some really good coaches. The culture here is unbelievable. The guys are so close.”
