List of Nebraska Cornhuskers head football coaches

Eight have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame: Edward N. Robinson, Fielding H. Yost, Dana X. Bible, Biff Jones, Pete Elliott,[a] Bob Devaney, Tom Osborne, and Frank Solich.

[1] NU's earliest coaching history is unclear, as several men were appointed to assist or oversee the young program in an unofficial capacity.

[6] Offensive coordinator Tom Osborne succeeded Devaney in 1973, beginning a twenty-five-year tenure that established him as one of college football's greatest coaches.

After a lengthy coaching search, Nebraska settled on Bill Callahan, who overhauled the program in four turbulent years before being fired in 2007 and replaced by Bo Pelini.

[9] Nebraska suffered its worst eight-year stretch in over sixty years under Mike Riley and Scott Frost before hiring Matt Rhule in 2023.
