In a release, head coach Mike Riley said, “I want to thank Mark for his hard work and contributes to our football program the past two years and for all of his service and dedication as a member of my other coaching staffs. We will conduct a national search to find a great coach, teacher and recruiter as we continue our pursuit of championships.
This marks the second and third removal of coaches under Riley’s watch as the head coach of Nebraska football. Defensive line coach Hank Hughes was relieved of his duties which were taken over by John Parrella.
