Shawn Eichorst
Shawn Eichorst (2012-17): Hired by then-UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman to replace Tom Osborne after Eichorst had served about 18 months as Miami's athletic director. Fired Bo Pelini after a 9-3 regular season in 2014. Acting as a one-man search committee, hired Mike Riley from Oregon State — seen as an out-of-the-box hire by many given Riley's record — to replace Pelini. Fired by UNL Chancellor Ronnie Green in 2017 five days after Riley's Huskers were upset at home by Northern Illinois.

Steve Pederson
Steve Pederson (2002-07): Oversaw a $50 million construction project that expanded Memorial Stadium and added an indoor practice facility and the Osborne Athletic Complex.

LAURA INNS, THE WORLD-HERALD
Bill Byrne
Bill Byrne (1992-2002): Nearly tripled the size of NU’s athletic budget and erased $2.5 million in inherited debt.

But deferred to Tom Osborne when Osborne wanted longtime assistant Frank Solich to succeed him as coach in 1998.

McKewon: Who will be Nebraska's next athletic director? Some names to consider
Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Moos is out. Who’s next? A look at some potential candidates in alphabetical order:
Trev Alberts, UNO athletic director: He didn’t get the job in 2012 or 2017, but did he even want it? Nebraska's only Butkus Award winner is clearly going to be on any list for A.D., but he has long seemed content at UNO. Is this his time at NU? Alberts can see eye-to-eye with Scott Frost on football as they’re both Midwestern family guys who played for Tom Osborne. He’s also a contemporary of Fred Hoiberg. Is that enough to be part of the inner circle?

Financial terms of Bill Moos' departure are still unclear

Bill Moos’ last day as Nebraska athletic director will be June 30, but it's unclear whether the finer financial points of his contract will be resolved by then.

Shatel: Barry Alvarez discusses how Nebraska can be competitive in Big Ten

Chatelain: How failure and chaos have defined Nebraska athletics for nearly 30 years
Bob Devaney wasn’t going down without a fight.
The godfather of Nebraska sports, 76-year-old author of two football national championships, had spent 25 years as Husker athletic director when, in January 1992, he asked the Board of Regents to extend his contract. Trouble was Devaney had already agreed six months earlier to retire in January 1993.
Bob Devaney, the godfather of Husker athletics, and Tom Osborne wanted assistant Al Papik to succeed Devaney as athletic director after his retirement in 1993. Graham Spanier won the power struggle, setting off 29 years of unrest in the Nebraska athletic department.
Graham Spanier left for Penn State in 1995, two months after the first national championship, but tensions persisted between Bill Byrne and Tom Osborne — in the midst of the best run in school history.
Bill Byrne helped erase $2.5 million in athletic department debt and more than doubled the budget. But according to his critics, “Dollar Bill” squeezed ordinary fans for cash while forgetting where his corn was buttered — the football program.
Steve Pederson fired Frank Solich, the coach who personified loyalty, continuity and physical football. After a disastrous 40-day coaching search, Pederson settled on West Coast Offense disciple Bill Callahan.
Bill Byrne left Nebraska for Texas A&M in 2002. His successor? The man recommended by Byrne and Tom Osborne. The man who dreamed up the Tunnel Walk during his days as an NU administrator. Steve Pederson.
Bill Moos made solid coaching hires. But behind the scenes, he lacked credibility. Like multiple predecessors, the Husker A.D. could only fend off his critics for so long.

McKewon: Six key questions for any Nebraska A.D. candidate
Nebraska is searching for a new athletic director after Bill Moos retired on Friday.
LINCOLN — Nebraska football coach Scott Frost walked off the field, a little wet and surely relieved to break a miserable four-game losing streak.
This was in College Park, Maryland, late 2019. The Huskers had pummeled the Terrapins 54-7. As Frost walked off the field, his boss, standing in a mist, met him near the locker room for a congratulations. Frost looked appreciative.
