After starting the season with two losses in their first three games, head coach Scott Frost was fired on September 11; receivers coach and associate head coach Mickey Joseph was named interim head coach for the remainder of the season. [1] The following week, after having given up nearly school record number of yards to opposing offenses in back-to-back weeks, Nebraska dismissed defensive coordinator Erik Chinander and promoted assistant Bill Busch to the position for the remainder of the season. [2]

On November 26, 2022, Nebraska announced the hiring of Matt Rhule to become the 31st head coach of the Nebraska football program. [3]
