The postseason is only a few weeks away, and the Kansas City Chiefs will attempt to become the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls. After this journey, they will likely lose a member of their coaching staff on defense.
According to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel, The Nebraska Cornhuskers are set to hire Chiefs assistant defensive line coach Terry Bradden as the school’s new defensive line coach. Bradden has been with Kansas City for eight seasons, the last four of which were as an assistant under defensive line coach Joe Cullen. The move would be for the next college football season, as Bradden is expected to stay on for Kansas City’s postseason run.
Bradden has contributed to Kansas City’s defensive growth during his tenure, working with different groups before settling in with the defensive line. The unit has become a top group in the league after humble beginnings and struggles in the late 2010s. He was a trusted member of defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s staff, which has helped develop standouts such as Chris Jones, Mike Danna, Tershawn Wharton, and George Karlaftis, to name a few.
Bradden will join Nebraska’s staff, led by head coach Matt Rhule. Rhule recently served as head coach of the Carolina Panthers from 2020 to 2022. Nebraska will take on Boston College at Yankee Stadium in New York for this year’s Pinstripe Bowl.
