It didn't take long for former Maryland defensive coordinator Brian Stewart to land a new job.
Less than a week after parting amicably -- it was called a "mutual" decision, according to Maryland coach Randy Edsall -- Stewart was named Tuesday as defensive backs coach at Nebraska.
"I couldn't be more excited to be a part of the Nebraska football program," Stewart said in a released statement. "The opportunity to coach at Nebraska is awesome. My first impression is 'wow'. From the weight room to walking down the hallway and seeing the national championship trophies, Nebraska is what you think it is … a football powerhouse."
Maryland's defense steadily declined in his three seasons, from 21st overall in his first year to 97th in 2014.
The Cornhuskers have potential. Though Nebraska gave more passing plays of 20 yards or more (45) than any team in the Big Ten, the Cornhuskers were second in opposing passer rating defense (194.82, behind only Penn State) and picked off 13 passes.
