Nebraska football coaching changes

Overview

Nebraska head football coach Matt Rhule fired offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen following a four-game losing streak. The decision followed a 24-13 defeat against Illinois, which left the team with a 5-4 record. Rhule noted that while Holgorsen is a strong leader, the offensive execution was not meeting expectations, specifically citing a failure to score more than 17 points in each of the last four games.

Co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas assumed play-calling duties for the remainder of the season. Rhule indicated he would take time to find a permanent replacement. Additionally, defensive coordinator Rob Aurich signed a two-year contract extension to maintain staff continuity.
