Rhule explains decision to fire Holgorsen as Nebraska offensive coordinator

Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule on Monday discussed his decision to fire offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen.

Fire response and evacuations

Rhule said he decided to make the move Saturday, after Nebraska’s 24-13 loss at Illinois on Friday night.

Rhule said he does not believe the team’s offense is broken, but said the team needs to stop missing opportunities.

“I do believe in hindsight helps with foresight. I talk about that with our guys all the time,” Rhule said.

“I think there were a lot of things that were working.

I’m not sitting here thinking, ‘Let’s throw the baby out with the bath water.’ I think we have a really good offensive system.

I think we have good players.” Nebraska has three games left this season. The team plays at Rutgers on Saturday.

Rhule said he will not rush the process of hiring a new offensive coordinator and will review his options.
