Nebraska pulls in someone who was very good, but very under the radar in 2025.
Less than a week after Matt Rhule fired John Butler, he's found his next defensive coordinator for the Nebraska football team. Interestingly enough, it's a name that didn't get brought up in the quick search that included only one interview that actually went public. Now the team has reportedly tapped Rob Aurich as the man to turn things around in a "prove it" season in 2026.
Aurich spent the 2025 campaign in his first season as the defensive coordinator of the San Diego State Aztecs.
