Lincoln, NE – Moments ago, former WVU head football coach Dana Holgorsen and Nebraska officially parted ways. According to Pete Nakos of On3, Nebraska has fired Holgorsen in the midst of a four-game losing streak, including a 24-13 loss to Illinois on Friday night.
Holgorsen had been with the Nebraska football program since November 2024. After beginning as an offensive consultant, he was soon promoted to offensive coordinator.
Previously, Holgorsen served as the head coach at the University of Houston. Over five years, he compiled a 31-28 record, including two bowl wins and an appearance in the 2021 American Conference Championship Game.
Holgorsen was the head football coach at WVU for eight seasons (2011-2018). He currently sits at 3rd on the all-time wins list for the Mountaineers with 61. During his tenure, West Virginia won the 2012 Discover Orange Bowl over the Clemson Tigers, 70-33.
