Northwestern is expected to hire veteran coach Skip Holtz as the special assistant to the head coach for the 2023 season, sources told ESPN on Monday.
Holtz's assignment is temporary for the upcoming months and won't interfere with his USFL job as the head coach of the Birmingham Stallions, according to ESPN sources.
Holtz will be tasked with being a veteran resource to interim Northwestern coach David Braun to help he and the Wildcats navigate the season.
Braun, who was hired as the school's defensive coordinator this offseason, spoke at Big Ten Media Days about his plan to call the defense for Northwestern this year to help keep continuity.
