Having coached at West Virginia and Houston, Holgorsen now serves as Nebraska's offensive coordinator after a long run as head coach and assistant under top programs.
Two college football programs have swapped coordinators amid disappointing seasons. Utah’s Kyle Whittingham has interim OC Jim Harding after firing former play-caller; Nebraska’s Matt Rhule has replaced Dana Holgorsen with Glenn Thomas as play-caller. Both teams are seeking to reverse recent slumps and regain momentum.
