Lincoln, NE (My Sportsbook) - Nebraska head coach Frank Solich fired three defensive assistants on Monday, and also announced that he will no longer call the plays on offense following the Cornhuskers worst regular season record in 41 years at 7-6. Solich fired defensive coordinator Craig Bohl, secondary coach George Darlington and rush ends coach Nelson Barnes. Solich did not announce who would take his place as the offensive coordinator. At 7-6, the Huskers are just barely bowl eligible. Defensive line coach Jeff Jamrog and graduate assistant Jimmy Burrow will handle the defensive game plan for Nebraska in its upcoming bowl game. The Huskers will accept a bowl invitation for an NCAA-record 34th consecutive year, and are likely to face an SEC opponent in the MainStay Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana on December 27. |
