Bill Moos Out As AD at Nebraska

[J-MAGIC]

Judging by the notes that Moos has been trying to do the AD job from his ranch in Montana, maybe the Chancellor came to Moos and told him that he needs to spend more time in Lincoln, that issue came to head, and Moos and NU decided it would be better to mutually part ways (and stage it as an early retirement). 

This seems to be what the beat writers are insinuating happened. Would also track with the OU thing. Moos was blindsided because he wasn't in the building and these conversations were going down with his lieutenants instead of him.

Or maybe he just accepted the job to be the new commissioner of the PAC-12!

That job has been filled for 3 weeks.

That job has been filled for 3 weeks.

George Kliavkoff is going to be so shocked when Moos takes his job!

Trying to catch up as the story breaks. A little disappointed in the speculation. So let me just throw this against the wall.

1) Hookers & blow

2) Ukrainian crypto-currency scam

Why are all of the beat writers acting like they know something else is going on? This seems strange. 

Just kind of reading the tea leaves.  Sean Callahan summed it up pretty well:

Many people are asking "why retire now?" It's going to hard to get any straight answers on this, as there will be no press conference with Nebraska's leadership and Moos.

Moos also was out on the Big Red Blitz Tour last week and even had an interview set up with ESPN on Friday.

Typically when somebody retires on good terms in a role like this, they hold some sort of exit press conference. The fact Moos is not holding one today tells you there's probably much more to this.

Another interesting note from Callahan:

Moos also had no involvement in the fundraising for the new $155 million football facility.

If he wants the job then sure, but I don't see that happening...

I had predicted mid-season.  I probably still win the pool by a damn sight.

 

[WyoHusker56]

Wow, I have something in common with a power 5 AD. My boss and I had a strong disagreement this week and I also abruptly "retired" today.

If it was hookers and blow, the football team would be better.

This would be an absolute smash hire.

It's a no-brainer.
