NebraskaNebraska fired offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen on Saturday. The move came after the Huskers suffered a fourth straight loss at Illinois on Friday night.
Quarterback coach Glenn Thomas will take over play-calling for the remainder of the season. In a statement to the media, Rhule expressed his anger over the team's performance during the four-game losing streak and believed that changes were needed.
"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.
