Matt Rhule made the move after the Huskers scored just 13.5 points per game during a four-game Big Ten losing streak.
Matt Rhule has parted ways with offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen as Nebraska's offense cratered down the stretch of the season. The Huskers opened 5-0 but have not scored more than 17 points in a game since, sliding to 5-4 amid a four-game Big Ten losing streak during which the offense averaged 13.5 points per game.
Holgorsen arrived with a high profile as a former head coach, but the unit never found rhythm once conference play turned difficult. Reports describe Rhule as angry about the offensive collapse, which has undercut what looked like a promising start to his tenure in Lincoln.
The firing marks a significant in-season shakeup for a program trying to prove it can compete at the top of the Big Ten. With the offense stalled and the losing streak now at four games, Nebraska will need to find answers quickly to salvage the back half of its schedule.
