I think we just figured out why Larson exited. and hello to DBK. Only the 4th head coach. I think the timing was right on this. Cook was looking pretty tired towards the end of the season Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/104138-john-cook-retires/#findComment-2711244

Vizsla1 Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 I must have missed the job posting on this one. It don’t matter. John told them Who to hire, no reason debating.

Decoy73 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 DBK is definitely qualified, but I expected a national search when JC inevitably retired. Maybe there was behind the scenes. I can't shake the Osborne->Solich vibes. Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/104138-john-cook-retires/#findComment-2711251

There's absolutely zero Osborne->Solich vibes here except that she is an alum and used to be an assistant coach here a decade ago. 3 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/104138-john-cook-retires/#findComment-2711255
Savage Husker Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 This is a no brainer hire, IMO. 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/104138-john-cook-retires/#findComment-2711257

Edited since I’m hoping you think we hired Kelly Hunter and not comparing a coach that just went to the National Title Game to Solich. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/104138-john-cook-retires/#findComment-2711262
Stumpy1 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 She is more then qualified. She has taken Louisville to the tournament every year with 2 National runner ups. Her record is 203-44 in her 8 years.

I'm aware of DBK's impressive resume which is why I stated she was "definitely qualified." There also was no coaching search--like with Solich. So, this in addition to the other two similarities you pointed out, Osborn to Solich was the first thing that came to my mind.

I'm well aware of DBK and she checks all the boxes. In no way did I compare DBK to Solich. How many other times at NU has there been a retirement and new coach announcement on the same day? No search, new coach was an alum and former assistant. Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/104138-john-cook-retires/#findComment-2711270
