Nebraska needed change; Matt Rhule agreed.
Offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen was fired Saturday, a day after the Huskers' fourth consecutive loss. Nebraska has scored just 54 points during that month-long skid, including Friday night's 24-13 loss at Illinois.
The move marks the first coaching staff change Nebraska has made in 2026, though it's far from the first of the Rhule era, now in its fourth season.
“Like so many of you, I am angry, I am disappointed and I am frustrated with our results this season," Rhule said in a statement released Saturday morning. "As the head coach, I am ultimately responsible for every aspect of our program—including wins and losses—and it is my responsibility to make changes when they are warranted.
