Nebraskas first-year defensive coordinator, John Butler, was replaced by associate head coach Phil Snow following a challenging season marked by poor run defense and struggles in the red zone. Butler, who served as secondary coach and pass game coordinator before his promotion, was let go after the teams four losses in their last six games. The Huskers defense ranked near the bottom nationally in sacks and red-zone defense, allowing opponents to score on nearly all their trips inside the twenty-yard line. The coaching change signals a new chapter for Nebraska football as they prepare for their bowl game and aim to improve their defensive performance in upcoming seasons.
