The Nebraska Cornhuskers politely showed athletic director Shawn Eichorst the door last week. With that being the case, the university would need someone to fill the vacant position. Luckily for Nebraska, Washington State had a man, Bill Moos, who apparently fills it nicely.

Through a statement release, the school announced Bill Moos as the new athletic director. Moos, who is 66-years-old, has signed a 5-year contract with a $1 million salary.

“Nebraska has secured a proven winner in Bill Moos to lead Husker Athletics into a new era of excellence,” chancellor Ronnie Green said in a statement. “It was clear that Bill stood out in a very competitive, tremendously gifted pool of candidates, not only because of his proven ability to lead programs to greatness, but because of his reputation for integrity in building and leading those programs.”

While people will connect the dots primarily to football, as they rightfully should, it should also be noted that athletic directors to play a role in all the sports. Just a little reminder for those who forget the Cornhuskers have (or had?) a promising basketball program and a bunch of other non-revenue sports programs.

“To lead one of the most storied and successful athletic programs in the nation is a true honor,” Moos said. “Nebraska is a very special place, known far and wide for its phenomenal fans, for doing things the right way, for supporting its students, honoring its athletic legacy and maintaining excellence in athletics success across the board. I am proud to help build upon these Husker traditions.”

Only time will tell if Bill Moos is the man to help stir the echoes.
