Mickey Joseph shuffles assignments for Nebraska's defensive staff entering Week 3
Mickey Joseph has now made another change to his coaching staff. He shuffled the duties of two defensive coaches per The Athletic’s Mitch Sherman.
Travis Fisher will be the team’s corners and nickels coach, while Erik Chinander will be working with the safeties from now on. Chinander is adding the work of safeties to his defensive coordinator role, while Fisher was most recently the DB coach for all of the defensive backfield on Frost’s staff.
Nebraska secondary coach Travis Fisher is going to coach corners and nickels, while DC Erik Chinander handles the safeties. That’s another change.

Tradition’s own Paul Harvey highlighted how Joseph’s defense is going to operate. Joseph promises that his defense is going to play fast, and make sure that his players hold themselves accountable.
“We’re gonna play faster, we’re gonna tackle in practice, we’re gonna detail what we’re doing with our kids, we’re going to make our kids hold themselves accountable.”

That now makes 3 changes to Joseph’s coaching staff. Former offensive analyst Mike Cassano will be the team’s receivers coach, as he was promoted to the position on Tuesday.
More changes could be coming Joseph’s staff now that changes have been made already.
