As one Nebraska football coordinator is leaving, another coordinator’s future is more solid. During his weekly Monday news conference, coach Matt Rhule said that Aurich had agreed to a two-year extension. Rhule said details of the extension are still being worked out. That comes after offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen was fired by Rhule on Saturday. Nebraska lost at Illinois 24-13 Friday, the Huskers’ fourth straight loss.
Nebraska’s defense has become one of the best in the country in Aurich’s first year at NU. The Huskers rank 12th in the nation in total defense and 17th in the nation in scoring defense.
Nebraska is next in action Saturday at Rutgers. Pregame coverage begins at 7:30 a.m., with kickoff at 11:30 a.m. on KLIN and Froggy 98.
