Nebraska Makes Major Coaching Change After 4th Consecutive Loss.

Nebraska

Or, in this case, the college football coaching carousel. Co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas will take over playcalling duties.

"Like so many of you, I am angry, I am disappointed, and I am frustrated with our results this season. 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.

While there are many areas that need improvement, our offensive plan and execution is simply not working. Earlier today, I relieved offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen of his duties," Rhule said in a statement.

"As I have recently shared, Dana has a fantastic offensive mind, he is a strong leader, and he has done great work here in Nebraska. … I will continue to evaluate our program throughout the season and certainly at its conclusion and make additional changes where I believe they will help us win.
