Bill Moos told The World-Herald he’d been mulling over his eventual retirement for months, but was informed last week that he’d retire almost immediately. “Apparently this was the best time," he said.
On Friday's episode, Adam gives his quick takes on Nebraska A.D. Bill Moos announcing his retirement, including why there's a need for stability in the Husker athletic department and more.
Multiple members of the Nebraska Board of Regents said Friday they were surprised by the news of Bill Moos' retirement, but they thanked the athletic director as a "great friend to the university."
Bill Moos oversaw a lot of change among Nebraska's coaching ranks during his time as athletic director. Here are the 12 head coaches he hired …
Garrett Klassy will serve as Nebraska's interim athletic director following Bill Moos' retirement. He's been at Nebraska for nearly two years as senior deputy A.D. for external operations.
Nebraska will soon be in search of another athletic director. Who will it be? Sam McKewon has a list of people the Huskers may consider.
Take a look a back at Bill Moos' career as Nebraska's Athletic Director.
Husker coaches reacted to the abrupt retirement of Nebraska A.D. Bill Moos on Friday. “He just wished everybody the best of luck and said he had really enjoyed his stay.”
Bill Moos’ last day will be June 30, but it's unclear whether certain financial points of his contract will be resolved by then. Two items in particular will need to be clarified after Moos’ abrupt retirement.
Nebraska's next athletic director doesn’t have to be a Husker. It doesn’t have to be an outsider, writes Tom Shatel. It just has to be the right person for this unique time. Just like Bill Moos was.
In an interview with Tom Shatel, Barry Alvarez hit on several topics, including whether he was offered a job at Nebraska, the Huskers' future in the Big Ten and getting more league teams in the CFP.
Nebraska has to find either its fifth athletic director in the past 15 years or its sixth in the past 20. Continuity? Not exactly. But how does that compare to other Big Ten universities?
In the midst of Nebraska’s latest power struggle — Bill Moos’ abrupt retirement — you might conclude that Husker athletics is trending toward chaos. But it can’t get any wilder than it’s already been.
UNL Chancellor Ronnie Green, in an interview with The World-Herald, discussed the timeline for hiring a new athletic director and the qualities he wants in potential candidates.
The big question is what Scott Frost thinks. Yes, he hasn’t won many games here, but he might soon enough, and what he thinks matters. The desire for him to succeed still overflows the cup.
