Nebraska fired defensive coordinator Erik Chinander on Sunday, a day after his unit allowed 49 points and 580 yards in a 49-14 loss to Oklahoma.
Chinander had overseen the Cornhuskers' defense since 2018 after arriving with Scott Frost from UCF. Nebraska fired Frost on Sept. 11. Interim head coach Mickey Joseph made the change and appointed special teams coordinator Bill Busch as the team's new defensive playcaller.
"We appreciate Erik and the work and dedication he has given to our football program," Joseph said in a statement.
