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.
Tonight should be the end of the Matt Rhule era in Nebraska

Don’t care how bad Riley & Frost were, Nebraska should NEVER accept this poor standard
Drove all the way to my local polling place and there was literally nowhere on my ballot to vote against a 24 team College Football Playoff and a 76 team NCAA Basketball Tournament. Had to write it all in
