Dana Holgorsen Named Nebraska Offensive Coordinator

Dana Holgorsen has been appointed as the offensive coordinator for Nebraska, taking over from Marcus Satterfield, who now coaches tight ends. Holgorsen, a former head coach at Houston and West Virginia, is set to earn $66,667 for November, translating to over $22,000 per game, as he helps Nebraska aim for bowl eligibility. Despite being recently demoted, Satterfield remains one of the highest-paid assistants with a $1.4 million salary. Holgorsen was initially brought on as an offensive consultant and his rapid transition to offensive coordinator is considered a bold move by head coach Matt Rhule, who plans to retain him beyond the season. Holgorsen's salary from Nebraska offsets a buyout from his previous position at Houston, where he is still owed $14.8 million. His offensive expertise is crucial as Nebraska prepares for a challenging game against USC, a team known for its high-powered offense under coach Lincoln Riley.
