Nebraska’s new co-offensive coordinator has spoken to the media for the first time since arriving in Lincoln. Glenn Thomas spoke with the Husker Radio Network earlier this week.

Thomas is joining the program as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He is joining the Cornhuskers after spending the previous season as an offensive assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The new addition to the staff will be taking over the quarterback coach’s position from offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield. Satterfield will now become the team’s tight ends coach on top of remaining the team’s offensive coordinator, replacing position coach Josh Martin.

Thomas and Rhule have a history of working together, as the two previously spent time at Baylor and Temple. He was most recently the offensive coordinator at UNLV from 2020-21 and Arizona State in 2022.
