Held and an OLine coach were brought in to right the ship on offense for UNA. They did just that. We lost 5 games by less than one score with two of those in OT. The disappointing record wasn’t because of the offense. Our D graduated several big players from last year and you get the drill. Thankfully, the new OLine coach was retained by our brand new HC.
We’re thankful Held brought a great young QB from Nebraska with him here. He won the job during the first game and ended up being a finalist for FCS Freshman of the Year. Held also turned our nonexistent rushing game into the highlight reel. Our sophomore RB was finalist for the Walter Payton Award (FCS POTY). Sadly, he’s in the portal getting multiple FBS offers.
Held lobbied hard to be our HC. He’d been an assistant to Frost at UCF and Nebraska. He knows how things are done in FBS and we thought for several weeks he might get the job here. Most all of us would have been fine with that choice, honestly.
He’s passionate about coaching and I think will recruit Nebraska and the region very well. I’m excited to watch y’all!
