Northwestern football begins 2026 with splash hire on offense
The Northwestern Wildcats wrapped up the 2025 college football season by dominating Central Michigan 34-7, winning the GameAbove Sports Bowl in Detroit. It was the sixth-straight bowl win for the Wildcats who are looking to build on that moving forward in 2026.
Already, the Wildcats made a big hire with Chip Kelly being announced as offensive coordinator. And now, on the first day of 2026, they have added another key coaching piece to the puzzle.
Northwestern makes big hire with Jerry Neuheisel
The Wildcats appear to be serious about having a legit offense and fixing some key issues. With Northwestern being in the Big Ten, competing against this bigger programs has been the focus. Now, they have the right guy coaching quarterbacks.
Per Adam Rittenberg of ESPN, the Wildcats are hiring Jerry Neuheisel as quarterbacks coach. Neuheisel played quarterback AT UCLA for four seasons, a place where his dad also played and then coached.
Following a brief playing career, he took a quality control coaching job at Texas A&M before joining UCLA once again. He was a coach under Chip Kelly at UCLA as well and remained on staff under DeShaun Foster. Neuheisel took over as the offensive play-caller this past season.
He wasn’t retained under new head coach Bob Chesney who comes from James Madison.

For Northwestern, figuring out the quarterback position will be huge moving forward. Preston Stone will not return next season but the additions of Kelly and Neuheisel should help draw some serious quarterback prospects to the Wildcats. That will certainly help moving forward and is the first steps in improving the offense.
