Summary

-The 49ers were last in special teams rankings in 2024, and improved to a top 5 unit in the league in 2025…we did see a turnaround for Nebraska in special teams last year under Mike Ekeler but he has since moved on…what is the biggest thing that goes into a turnaround? -Bill also helped turn around a Nebraska defense in the middle of the season---surely more difficult to do than having a whole offseason to do so—how does it happen effectively?
