UD defensive coordinator Neviaser resigns position
11:50 a.m., Sept. 5, 2006--Rob Neviaser, defensive coordinator for the University of Delaware football team, has announced his resignation effective immediately, Fightin' Blue Hens Head Coach K.C. Keeler announced Monday. The resignation came after Neviaser was charged in an alcohol-related incident in the Wilmington area early Sunday morning. “This is an unfortunate situation,” Keeler, who accepted Neviaser's resignation, said. “Rob is a great person and an outstanding coach, and we hope that he gets his things in order and can move past this. We wish him the best.” Keeler announced that first-year defensive secondary coach Nick Rapone will take over additional duties as interim defensive coordinator. Frank Law, who has served as a part-time assistant defensive line coach for the past four years, will take over an increased role as coach of that unit. Keeler also expects to add another part-time coach to the staff in the coming weeks. The Hens will open the 2006 season at 7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 9, against West Chester University at Tubby Raymond Field at Delaware Stadium. Neviaser, 35, a native of Darnestown, Md., was set to begin his fifth season with the UD staff as defensive line coach and his first season as defensive coordinator. He took over the defensive coordinator position in December after Dave Cohen was hired as head coach at Hofstra University. Neviaser joined the UD staff after serving the previous five seasons as defensive line coach and video coordinator at Yale University under head coach Jack Siedlecki. |
