Terre Haute, IN, November 7, 2026 — Nebraska’s head football coach, Matt Rhule, has made a significant change to the offensive coaching staff, firing offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. The decision follows a recent loss, though specific details about the game were not provided in the available information.

Holgorsen, who joined the Nebraska staff, will no longer serve as the offensive coordinator. The university has not released a statement detailing the reasons for the termination beyond the context of the recent performance.

Taking over play-calling responsibilities will be Glenn Thomas. Thomas’s new role is effective immediately as the team navigates this transition in offensive leadership. The exact duration for which Thomas will handle play-calling duties has not been specified.

The timing of this change, occurring after a loss and with the season potentially ongoing, suggests an effort by Coach Rhule to alter the team’s offensive trajectory. However, the specific nature of the recent loss, including the opponent, date, and outcome, was not publicly disclosed. Similarly, no information was provided regarding any potential discussions or prior warnings given to Holgorsen.

Nebraska’s coaching staff has undergone several adjustments, and this latest move underscores the immediate focus on the offensive unit’s performance. Further details regarding the coaching transition and future offensive strategies are expected to be communicated by the athletic department or coaching staff.
