Nebraska QB coach Glenn Thomas met with the media on Tuesday afternoon. Thomas opened his availability by discussing Matt Rhule's recent decision to fire offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen.
The move came after the Huskers suffered a fourth straight loss at Illinois on Friday night. Thomas will take over play-calling for the remainder of the season and will coach from the booth.
Holgorsen joined Nebraska during the 2024 season as a consultant before officially becoming the OC. Before joining the Huskers, he was head coach at Houston from 2019-2023 and went 31-28.
Thomas spoke with the media in depth about learning of the change and his plan moving forward.
“He had kind of told me what was happening and where he thought we needed to go moving forward.
From that point on, it’s been all Rutgers, and how can we evolve and adjust and continue to do all the good stuff that we’ve done well and continue to improve on the things that we need to improve on.”
The Huskers will take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday, Nov. 14, in Piscataway, N.J. The game is set to start at 11:30 a.m. CT and will be televised on BTN
