Once Cory Ross’ professional football career came to an end in 2012, it didn’t take the former Nebraska Cornhuskers’ I-back long to figure out what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. After playing for the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens (2006-2007), Ross joined the Sacramento Mountain Lions for three seasons where he was named 2010 UFL’s offensive MVP. Once his playing days came to a halt in 2012, Ross returned to Lincoln where he eventually got an opportunity to coach and served as interim head coach for the Lincoln Haymakers indoor football team for the last four games of the 2013 season before being named the head coach this year.

Glad to see Cory go this direction. I gotta feeling he will be a great coach.

He was coaching last season as well as an assistant. I've heard that there were some disputes between him and upper management objectives, kindof surprised to see him get the head coach gig, but good for him.

He is a really good guy, wish nothing but the best for him.

Every time the team scores a touchdown, will it be acceptable for the crowd to throw pork chops onto the field?

[NUance]

Back when Ross was playing I used to think he had about the best first move of any NU back I can remember seeing. I'm not saying he was our best RB. Or even close, for that matter. But he had a couple little juke moves that really threw guys off. Seems like the first defender hardly ever tackled him. (These days, seems like Abdullah has just as good of a shake-n-bake first step.)

Anybody taken in a Haymaker game? Im looking to go this year. What can I expect?
