Nebraska offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen agreed to a two-year contract extension on Monday. The new deal will pay Holgorsen $1.2 million.
Holgorsen took over as the offensive coordinator and play-caller from Marcus Satterfield in mid-November. The Huskers clinched their sixth win under Holgorsen, as the offense showed improvement throughout the last three games.
Their best performance came in a 44-25 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers. During that game, the Huskers had their highest point total since 2021, while their 473 yards of total offense was the second-highest output of the season.
Reports have stated that he is not expected to retain wide receivers coach Garret McGuire as part of his offensive staff.
It will undoubtedly be interesting to see how this affects the Nebraska offense. He brought a spark to the unit and will now have at least two full seasons to continue building. One must wonder who he will bring in as a wide receivers coach and what other staff changes will be made in the future.
