Former Houston and West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen has been appointed as Nebraska's offensive coordinator and will call plays for the remainder of the season, head coach Matt Rhule announced. Holgorsen, who was hired last week after a stint at TCU, will begin his duties in Saturday's game against USC. Rhule acknowledged the uniqueness of the move but said, 'It's probably what's needed. It's the right thing.' He added that Holgorsen 'can't come in and change the offense' or 'install the Air Raid' given the timing. Rhule expressed a desire for Holgorsen to remain with the Cornhuskers as offensive coordinator in 2025.
