Football will undoubtedly dominate Bill Moos’ opening months as Nebraska's new athletic director.

The Huskers have five games remaining in the regular season and Moos must evaluate the program in that amount of time to determine how he sees its direction, if he will retain head coach Mike Riley and his staff, and, if not, who the right person is.

“I got to talk to the volleyball team yesterday, and that’s a beautiful facility,” Moos told Journal Star reporters during a Wednesday morning interview in his Memorial Stadium office. “I can’t wait to see that thing humming and cooking.”
