The path is now clear for Bill Moos to make his second splash hire as the athletic director at the University of Nebraska.
And Moos made it clear Tuesday he plans to make a splash, despite his basketball program's 122-year history of, well, not having much history.
"People say, 'Why Nebraska?' I say, 'Why not?' I think we’ve got leadership in place. I know we do within the department and around campus that we can attract a coach that has experience, hopefully at our level," Moos said during a news conference to announce the firing of Tim Miles.
