  "account": "Dana Holgorsen, the former offensive coordinator at the University of Nebraska, has been fired a second time, following the Huskers' loss to Illinois on Saturday. Holgorsen, who previously coached at Texas Tech, the University of Houston, and Oklahoma State, was hired by Nebraska in 2024 as an offensive consultant and later moved into the offensive coordinator role with a $1.2 million annual salary. The Huskers scored just 54 points in four consecutive losses, failing to surpass 17 points in any of those defeats. Nebraska's head coach, Matt Rhule, acknowledged that the team's offensive plan and execution needed improvement. Holgorsen, who expressed no regret about his previous stint as the Huskers' offensive coordinator, stated that a change was necessary. Nebraska's fans had high expectations, and Rhule promised to continue evaluating the program throughout the season and make additional changes as needed. Holgorsen's offensive schemes had been successful at West Virginia, earning him his first head coaching job in 2012, but his time at Nebraska has been marred by a string of losses.",
  "summary": "Dana Holgorsen, who proclaimed during his time at Houston \"There ain't no f- hot seat in my mind,\" before getting fired, was canned as Nebraska's offensive coordinator Saturday.",
