The Nebraska football team has filled out its defensive coaching staff for next season.
Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule officially announced on Thursday that Phil Snow will join the Huskers as the team's associate head coach, while Addison Williams will coach defensive backs and Terry Bradden will coach the NU defensive line.
“Terry Bradden, Phil Snow and Addison Williams are excellent additions to our coaching staff,†Rhule said in a release. “Each of them is an ideal fit for their role on our defensive staff. They are all elite teachers who have been a part of winning programs and organizations. The experience they bring to our defensive staff will be invaluable as we defend a wide variety of offenses in the Big Ten Conference.â€
Snow, a former defensive coordinator for Rhule, worked as an analyst for Nebraska in 2024. Williams joins Nebraska from UCF, while Bradden will depart the Kansas City Chiefs to work for the Huskers.

Bradden, NU's defensive line hire, spent the last eight seasons in Kansas City and will continue to teach the defensive line principles Rhule believes in.
“I wanted someone from a certain system,†Rhule said last week of his defensive line hire. “… I want a guy who’s been in pro football, I want a guy who has great relational ability, I want a guy who can hold the guys accountable. They don’t need a friend; they need a coach to help them get where they want to be.â€
Nebraska's defensive coaching staff, coordinated by John Butler, now has its position coaches in place with Williams in the secondary and Bradden up front. Rob Dvoracek returns as linebackers coach while Phillip Simpson will coach outside linebackers.
