I get the feeling many Nebraska football fans are largely unfamiliar with Jake Peetz.
Familiarity increased markedly Wednesday when LSU announced Peetz was its new offensive coordinator.
A Nebraska long-snapper and defensive back in the early 2000s, Peetz's relatively quiet rise in the profession has been heading toward something big, but probably only a few Husker fans were keenly aware of it.
An O'Neill native who attended St. Mary's High School, Peetz worked seven seasons as an assistant in the NFL and four in the NCAA, most of which were spent as a quarterbacks coach. He spent this season with the Carolina Panthers in that role.
