Coach Held
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
Felt the same way after I made love for the first time...4 days ago
The guy has been nails on the recruiting front. Happy to have him.
He was all in at UCF till he was officially off the clock.
Loved his energy in recruiting

I don’t remember him as a player at all because, well, he never really played. However, a ton of ex-football starters on those national championships spoke highly about Ryan and praised the hire. So the fact that he stood out to them as a walk-on, as guy who never really played, speaks volumes in my opinion. Guy is the humble, smart, classy, hard worker that Nebraska football stands for. Love the hire
Coach Held was also the Hype Man before games, a tradition that he lead during warmups before games at UCF
I could be wrong, but I remember him as a backup WR. One of those guys who rotated in several plays a game to block on run plays. Might have been 4th or 5th team.
Love his energy!!!
We’re going to need it to wake this sleeping giant that I’m confident we have here.

Wasn't Held also the emergency quarterback for a few games - when Frazier was out, Berringer was banged up and Matt Turman was really the only healthy QB?
I'm not sure, but I think that was the case.
I believe you are thinking of Monte Christo. He was a QB from Kearney. His bio (http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=210400119) says he played the last two minutes of the 94 Missouri game when Turman went out with what appeared to be a separated shoulder. Up until that point, he was expecting to RedShirt that year.
Also according to Huskers.com (http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=210417155) Ryan Held was a Split End.
Yes I know Held was a receiver by trade, but I’m not talking about a backup QB. I mean a player at another position who was going to have to play QB if one more got hurt.
Held is very active on social media which is important in relating well with the recruits. Him knowing about our tradition and liking recruiting are big bonuses as well.
You are right. There was a video of all the quarterbacks in order if we had more injuries. Held was like the 6th option behind Turman and Veland and he said something to the effect of “i’ve never played quarterback in my life.” One of my friends knew him and we used to laugh about it.
I remember the clip. It ran on College Game day. I guess I didn’t know that was Ryan who said that.
That's fine, but more importantly who is going to lead the hip hip hooray chants now?
