Nebraska football has hired Dana Holgerson as an offensive consultant for the program. ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported this on Tuesday morning.
Holgerson has held various coaching roles throughout his collegiate coaching career. He most prominently served as head coach for the West Virginia Mountaineers and Houston Cougars, compiling a 92-69 record during his tenure.
He also served in various offensive coordinator roles. He was the co-offensive coordinator and inside wide receivers coach for Texas Tech from 2005-2006 before formally taking over the role in 2007. He then went to Houston, where he served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2008 to 2009.
Holgerson is a disciple of the Mike Leach coaching tree, one typically known for an Air Raid offense.
Nebraska’s offense has struggled all season long. They rank No. 99 in total offense, averaging 354.1 yards per game. The Huskers also rank No. 100 in scoring offense, with a paltry 23.6 points per game.
The Huskers are looking to land bowl eligibility and get that sixth win of the season. They will take on the USC Trojans in two weeks.
