Nebraska fires offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen as head coach Matt Rhule makes a change following a fourth straight loss. Multiple outlets report that Rhule ends Holgorsen’s tenure after the Cornhuskers’ offense struggles during a prolonged skid, with Glenn Thomas set to take over play-calling duties.
The coverage focuses on the team’s recent performance and offensive production. ESPN and CBS Sports both cite that Nebraska averaged about 13.5 points during the four-game Big Ten losing streak. Yahoo Sports adds context that the move follows the Cornhuskers’ 24-13 loss to Illinois and notes the program’s mounting offensive issues. The Athletic places the struggles in a broader season arc, saying Nebraska began 5-0 but has not scored more than 17 points in any game since.
Overall, outlets broadly agree on the who, what, and when—Holgorsen is fired after the skid—and differ mainly in which game and season details they foreground.
