Red Report: NU's group effort coaching special teams includes Diaco working with punters

There is no one person carrying the director's title of the whole shebang like the past two years. Coaching Nebraska's special teams was even something of a group project when Bruce Read was around, but it's even more so that way now.

"Just about everybody (on staff) has a part," Husker head coach Mike Riley said after Saturday's practice, the fourth of 15 this spring.

Riley offered a quick rundown on where some assistants were focusing their attention:

* Linebackers coach Trent Bray is leading the punt team, and will be assisted by safeties coach Bob Elliott and grad assistant/tight ends coach Tavita Thompson.
