I agree but, coordinators get shit canned often these days - especially offensive

the frosh QB and the offense have seemed to regress as the season goes on
I'm ok with this move
last season's offense was blamed on poor QB play but, the O-coordinator put all his eggs in the Jeff Simms basket - his choice
Mid season in a mid (not disastrous) season is tough.  I think the pressure on him to at least make a bowl is real.  He didn't sign up for the Big Ten, he signed up for the Big Ten West, and now he's here

I assume yer talkin bout Rhule

many many programs end up with a crap offense midseason
especially in the Big Ten West
fans and other more intelligent folks clamoring for a change

Rhule actually changed something, hoping for a better result
I give Rhule credit for that
most coaches won't do it

Dana Holgorsen is about to coach his first game as Nebraska football's offensive coordinator. Although he just joined the staff, Huskers head coach Matt Rhule has expressed a desire to retain Holgorsen for the 2025 season, highlighting his belief in Holgorsen's ability to make an immediate impact on the offense.

Ahead of Saturday's game against the USC Trojans, Holgorsen's salary for the remainder of the season has been revealed. Nebraska’s new offensive play-caller will earn a little over $22,000 per game. Specifically, for the month of November, Holgorsen will receive $66,667, as disclosed by a Nebraska Athletics official to KETV NewsWatch 7. Details about Holgorsen’s salary beyond November remain undisclosed, leaving some speculation about his long-term compensation if he remains on the staff.

I though Dylan Raiola would make a bigger difference early in his Nebraska career. He has had some good passing numbers, but a hair too many interceptions, I think. Early this season Nebraska's defense was stout. Then came Indiana, UCLA, USC, and Wisconsin scoring more points than desirable.

I suspect Matt Rhule "earned" another season at the helm, and it will be regarded as a good year, if Nebraska wins Friday, and a disappointment of a season if Nebraska does not win.

How do Nebraska fans feel about how the 2024 season has gone so far?

Dylan played well early.  Then threw too many picks.  The offense lulled.  Dana Holgerson was brought in and Dylan had a very nice game vs the Badgers.  Nearly 3oo yards w/o a pick

Yes, the defense has not been as good the past few outings.  but, definitely solid

Rhule was going to get another season if they only won 5 this season
Many fans are ok with 6 wins and a bowl
I'll be disappointed if the Huskers don't win against Iowa AND the bowl game - 8 wins would be ok with me.

most fans were disappointed with losing to UCLA and USC making a 4-game losing streak.
but, finally beating Wisconsin has helped
Rhule trying to fix the offense by getting a new OC has helped

Winning on Friday and/or winning the bowl would obviously really help

Dana's Tuesday press conference................

What was the first victory like? "I had more fun Saturday than I've had in a long time," Holgorsen said Tuesday, referring to Nebraska's bowl-clinching 44-25 win against Wisconsin. It was the most points the Huskers had scored in a game in three years.

The Black Friday contest in Iowa City will be Holgorsen's third game running the offense. After Tuesday's practice, Holgorsen discussed dealing with the Huskers' "pretty big" playbook as well as making decisions on who gets playing time. Tight end has been a hot-button topic after Thomas Fidone mostly rode the bench Saturday.

"I don’t care who's played or who's the starter. If you're not performing at the level I need you to perform at based on what it looks like in practice, then we're going to change that," Holgorsen said.

"I know everybody wants to talk about the tight end position because of what happened Saturday, but that's been the case at every single position," he said. "It's about competition."
