Billy Devaney, who served as a right-hand man to Mike Riley and also had a significant say in the recruiting department in the last regime, no longer remains at Nebraska, a spokesman confirmed.

Although Devaney didn't have a contract tied to Riley and wasn't initially let go after his firing, he hasn't been involved in the goings-on at North Stadium for the past two weeks, after the coaching change to Scott Frost.

Under Riley, Devaney carried the title of executive director of player personnel, as well as being a special assistant to the head coach.

He was brought into the fold in 2016, arriving to Lincoln with more than three decades of experience, including work as the general manager of the St. Louis Rams as recently as 2008-2011.

While his departure is not a surprise given the arrival of a new head coach, it is certainly noteworthy given his duties in Lincoln.

Paid $300,000 for his role in Lincoln, Devaney carried significant responsibility with Husker football. According to his job description, Devaney played the lead in "identifying prospective student-athletes, allocation of scholarship offers and assisting the head coach with roster management," while also overseeing the Huskers player personnel and recruiting staffs.
