RENO, Nev. – The University of Nevada has hired veteran coach Mike Bradeson to lead the Wolf Pack’s secondary, head coach Chris Ault announced today.
This will mark Bradeson’s second tenure in Reno, having coached under Ault from 1986-1991. Bradeson has also worked at Boise State and Cal and he spent the past 15 seasons at UNLV as the longest tenured coach in Rebel history.
“Just like Andy Buh, Mike knows the Nevada way,” Ault said. “With his deep experience, he will give Andy all the support he needs from the secondary. He is a well-rounded defensive backs coach because of his vast experience as a defensive coordinator and special teams coordinator.”
While at UNLV, Bradeson spent 15 years coaching in the secondary, including five seasons as the team’s defensive coordinator. He coached or recruited eight players who went on to the NFL and three players who were named the MWC Defensive Player of the Year. Bradeson’s last year as defensive coordinator was 2004, which was the last year that UNLV beat Nevada.
That's right - Ault just hired a guy who was so spectacular as defensive coordinator for UNLV that they demoted him nearly six years ago as our new secondaries coach. This would be the same person that coached the secondary that we scored 63 points against this year. But it's okay - he used to coach under Ault from '86-'91 and knows the "Nevada way".
Problem is, so do I, and I don't seem to remember it ever involving pass defense.
Ladies and gentlemen, Wolf Pack football!
If this is not even more reason to get rid of this self ritous washed up coach. How does he expect us to move to the next level if he keeps hiring the same ol' cronies? The "Nevada way" is about winning not rehiring guys that left to begin with. and I do not care where a coach comes from. If he is a good coach he will learn the "Nevada Way"
