It could not possibly matter less. Dana Holgorsen has been doing this for over thirty years. He is, as Rhule said, one of the best minds of his generation. He truly is.
Being one of the best minds of your generation is irrelevant if you're being forced to run things you cannot coach. A coordinator's job is to institute the philosophy and identity of the head coach. If your head coach has no philosophy or identity, you're a rudderless ship and even the finest navigator will never get you to where you want to go.
Matt Rhule has repeatedly demonstrated he has no feel for the offensive side of the game. He cannot identify talent on the field, he cannot identify coaching talent, he cannot be trusted to replace Holgorsen. I am not even certain Matt Rhule could tell you who the best offensive coordinators in the country are right now, never mind convince them to coach for him.
What talented offensive coach is going to leave a stable job to coach for Matt Rhule and be micromanaged by a guy that has no clue about the offensive side of the ball?
Nebraska is on its 3rd OC, 3rd DC, and 3rd STC in 47 games under Matt Rhule. It is the head coach. It has always been the head coach.
Nebraska has fired offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen.
Statement from coach Matt Rhule:
“Like so many of you, I am angry, I am disappointed and I am frustrated with our results this season. As the head coach, I am ultimately responsible for every aspect of our program—including wins and losses—and it is my responsibility to make changes when they are warranted.
“While there are many areas that need improvement, our offensive plan and execution is simply not working. Earlier today, I relieved offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen of his duties. As I have recently shared, Dana has a fantastic offensive mind, he is a strong leader, and he has done great work here at Nebraska. But simply, we need a change. Co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas will take over play-calling duties.
“I will continue to evaluate our program through the season and certainly at its conclusion and make additional changes where I believe they will help us win.
“The Nebraska fan base has high expectations and I embrace them, and I also know of their passionate support of the young men in our program. I hope they will continue to be there for our players with very important games still ahead. Our entire program is determined to finish this season strong.”

“Let’s extend Matt Rhule so Penn State doesn’t poach our elite head coach!!”
What a poetic end to the Rhule era.
Bielema is the type of coach who can start a season poorly, but through competent coaching, correct course and progressively improve.
Rhule is the exact opposite. Start strong against inferior competition, only to completely unravel when competent coaching becomes necessary.
The juxtaposition couldn’t be more fitting.

Wow what an unbelievable catch. We’re back in this.
Matt Rhule: you wanna see me do the dumbest shit you’ve ever seen
