Rudolph leaves Ohio St. for NU

LINCOLN (AP) - Joe Rudolph has left Ohio State's strength and conditioning staff to become tight ends coach at Nebraska, and receivers coach Ted Gilmore is the program's new recruiting coordinator, Cornhuskers coach Bill Callahan said Tuesday.
Rudolph last year developed position-specific training for the Buckeyes' tight ends, offensive linemen and fullbacks. He previously was a graduate assistant under OSU coach Jim Tressel.
"Joe has a strong work ethic and will bring great energy to our staff," Callahan said. "He has an excellent football mind and a history of success. He was a part of winning teams on both the collegiate and professional level as a player, and has been part of one of the top programs in the country the last three years."
Rudolph, 34, spent most of his time at Ohio State working with the offensive line. The Buckeyes averaged better than 420 yards of total offense and nearly 33 points per game in 2005. OSU offensive guard Rob Sims was a first-team All-Big Ten pick in 2005, while center Nick Mangold was a second-team all-conference selection.
"I am very grateful for the opportunity to join the Nebraska football program," Rudolph said. "I hope to complement the outstanding coaching staff and the elite football tradition at the University of Nebraska. I am excited and plan to hit the ground running."
Rudolph was a two-time All-Big Ten offensive lineman at Wisconsin in 1993-94. Callahan was the Badgers' offensive line coach at the time.
The native of Belle Vernon, Pa., played two seasons in the National Football League with Philadelphia and San Francisco. He played for the Eagles while Callahan was in charge of that team's offensive line.
Gilmore takes over the recruiting coordinator's job from Shawn Watson, who was promoted from tight ends coach to offensive coordinator. Gilmore was a key factor in the Huskers signing seven players from Texas this year.
"Ted has contacts in the high school ranks throughout the country and that will continue to be a benefit to our program," Callahan said. "This is an excellent step forward in Teds career and one that he has certainly earned."

UW football: Former Badger Rudolph 'excited' to return as tight ends coach

University of Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema added more than a tight ends coach to his staff Thursday.
Bielema's latest hire is someone who also feels extremely comfortable in the role of ambassador for the program.
When Joe Rudolph walks into prospects' living rooms during the recruiting process, he won't have to search for the right words to say. Rudolph can just speak from the heart.
"I feel comfortable going in and selling Wisconsin, because it's what I experienced," said Rudolph, a former UW captain and a valuable contributor to the program's turnaround in the early 1990s under former coach Barry Alvarez. "It's what I know. It's what I believe in."........
