Nebraska coach Matt Rhule announced more news regarding his coaching staff on Monday. Rhule revealed that defensive coordinator Rob Aurich signed an extension to stay with the Huskers through the 2030 season.
Aurich's extension comes just nine games into his tenure at Nebraska. He joined the Huskers on a three-year deal following a big 2025 season at San Diego State. Aurich earned his extension following a strong season, despite the 5-4 record.
The Blackshirts have not allowed a single team to put up more than 24 points. Nebraska's defense is also fifth in the Big Ten in yards allowed (282.4) and sixth in points allowed (16.6). The Huskers have also only allowed 15 touchdowns through nine games.
Nebraska has held opponents to 90.3 rushing yards
per game and 192.1 passing yards per game. The defense has also generated 25 sacks, seven interceptions, six forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
