Taylor Haynes returns to the Nebraska staff as an administrative assistant, after serving as a volunteer assistant coach for two years. Haynes joined the Huskers after serving as Head Women’s Soccer Coach for Division III Nebraska Wesleyan for three seasons.
Haynes’ primary duties include managing video operations for the Huskers, directing gameday setup and managing alumni relations.
As head coach of the Prairie Wolves, Haynes led NWU to a 37-15-3 record (.700 winning percentage), including a 25-6-2 mark (.788) against Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) foes.
Haynes led Wesleyan to a pair of conference runner-up finishes in 2003 and 2004 before winning the GPAC title in 2005, his final season as head coach. The 2005 Prairie Wolves finished with a 13-3-1 record, including a 9-2-0 mark in the league.
Haynes was instrumental in turning around the Wesleyan program. In his first season, NWU posted a nine-game improvement from the previous season. For his efforts, Haynes was named the 2003 SCHEELS/GPAC Women’s Soccer Co-Coach of the Year.
As an athlete, Haynes was a four-year first-team all-conference selection while playing for Hastings College and is also credited with scoring the first two goals in Bronco history. Haynes graduated from Hastings with a degree in marketing in 2001.
