Nebraska interim head coach Mickey Joseph made a mistake Tuesday when he commented on a reporter’s question about a recent commit to the Cornhuskers’ program.
Malachi Coleman, a four-star wide receiver and the highest-rated recruit in Nebraska, chose the Cornhuskers over five other schools in an event on Saturday. During a weekly news conference, as Joseph was answering another question, a reporter stated that Coleman signed with Nebraska.
While Joseph initially told the reporter he “wasn’t finished answering” a prior question, the reporter apologized to Joseph before the Cornhuskers’ coach went on to say he was “joking” and confirmed Coleman’s signing.
