Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule has dismissed assistant coach Holgorsen following the team's fourth loss of the season, a defeat to the Illinois Fighting Illini on November 6, 2026, at Gies Memorial Stadium in Champaign, Illinois.
The Cornhuskers fell to the Fighting Illini, with quarterback Anthony Colandrea attempting passes in the second half. The decision to fire Holgorsen comes after a string of four losses, prompting Rhule to make a staff change.
No further details on Holgorsen's role or potential replacement were immediately available.
