Liz Sowers

"Five-time national champion coach Liz Sowers was announced as the first head coach of the Nebraska flag football program, Director of Athletics Troy Dannen announced Thursday. Katie Sowers will serve as the Associate Head Coach alongside her twin sister.

The duo comes to Nebraska from Ottawa University in Kansas, where they have teamed up to build a championship program at the NAIA level. The Sowers (pronounced ‘sours’) sisters will finish the current season with Ottawa, where they serve as head coach and associate head coach, before making the transition to Nebraska this summer and officially starting on June 1, 2026. In January, Nebraska became the first Power Four school to add women’s flag football as a varsity sport, and plans to play its first competitive season in the spring of 2028.

Why don't we put this kind of emphasis on hiring winners into the football program?

Always hiring out of the bargain bin...

You are advocating to hire the rest of our head coaches from this level?

 

[NorthwoodHusker]

We have great leverage here. Until other P4 entities take it up, which they will no doubt, all incentives go to us in recruiting and monies.

Will These games be played in the football stadium?

One of those sisters actually helped coach an NFL team if I remember correctly.

Current: Matt Rhule (Year 4)
2030: Jake Dickert, Wake Forest head coach

Dickert’s first season at Wake Forest produced a surprising nine wins. After an impressive stint under difficult circumstances at Washington State, the 42-year-old Wisconsin native has “future Big Ten coach” written all over him.

Who will be coaching your school in 2030? Predicting every Power 4 football program’s head man

The idea: Project the head coach for each Power 4 school, plus Notre Dame, in 2030. A truly impossible (but very fun) task.

The NY Times did an article predicting every P4’s head coach in 2030.

Seems kinda stupid to me to be adding a sport like this that will do nothing but suck money. In these times, make it make sense? Like women’s basketball, I’d rather watch paint dry.

I'm hoping these games are played at memorial stadium. Sell it out and let's win a natty!

The teams will play 7-on-7. A contest will consist of four 12-minute quarters on a field that is 80×40 yards.

Come on and tell us how you really feel man. Do you approve of the Woman's Coach and Her sister's Coaching Ability or will the Rhule influence destroy them? Where should they concentrate their NIL $$$ ? offensive line or even it out between Offensive and Defensive lines? Just wanting your expert opinion on the Flag Football Team Thanks man !!

I don’t give a crap about women’s flag football, and if I had a damn truth serum, neither do you, but you wanna bitch, to bitch. It’s what you choose to do, bitch. It’s a straight up, money loser, and makes 1000% zero sense.

If you wanna talk Husker football, build from the inside out, OL and DL. Do that, and 3* players become 4*-5* players. Stop bitching because you just want to bitch about something.
