'They have no merit': Nebraska A.D. Bill Moos responds to rumors surrounding job status
Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Moos said he first heard the rumors Monday night while eating dinner with his wife Kendra. He received texts from friends about his potential firing.
Kendra pulled up one rumor on her phone. The two couldn’t believe it. Sometime after, Moos said he received a call from NU President Hank Bounds that he and University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Ronnie Green would issue a
full statement of support.
That statement came Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon, Moos said in an interview with The World-Herald that rumors of his firing and misuse of alcohol in any setting “have no merit.”
“I’m a man of the people, and I like being around people,” Moos said of occasionally having a drink in public. “They like being around me. But’s it’s never outside the lines.”
One rumor he addressed revolved around an alleged incident involving alcohol in a suite during Nebraska’s Oct. 6 football game at Wisconsin. Moos said it didn’t happen.
“I had one helluva hot dog, though,” Moos said, joking it was the second-best of any Husker football road trip behind Northwestern.
