After Nebraska's offense left fans wanting more in the 2024 season, head coach Matt Rhule knew he had to make a change at the offensive coordinator position. Rhule went out and hired former Houston head coach Dana Holgorsen, and that decision paid off well this season, and the Cornhuskers' offense took strides forward.
It seems it is clear that Rhule is choosing the same route for his defense this season as well. After just one season with Nebraska, defensive coordinator John Butler has been fired. This move will certainly make fans happy as they aired all their grievances after the Iowa loss.
