I hope this doesn't start a cataclysmic downward spiral for the VB team, a blue blood to dud would suck. But Good Luck to Coach Cook, he was damn good!

I want to hear how this came about. I read that DBK was in Omaha to take in some volleyball. Maybe that's where it was finalized & signed.

It's hard to believe that DBK could have been very publicly hanging around the athletic offices in Lincoln without being recognized and generating big rumors.

Thanks Coach.

An amazing career here at Nebraska and was absolute all class.

25 years. Very similar to another coaching legend around these parts.

I thought the same when Coach Petit stepped down. What does Cook do his first year? Wins a national title. 😂

With that said Coach Cook will be a tough act to follow. I wish Coach Dani all the best.

DBK was always meant to be the successor.

Her Louisville contract was written years ago with a special clause that waived any penalty if she left for only one school... Nebraska.

Yeah, like that would ever happen with a Nebraska sports program...

Holy ****, I didn't see that coming. Only wish he could have went out on top.

He and Murray felt really close. I'm sure he and the whole team were. Gotta be tough for them.

Wish the GOAT the best in retirement.

But do you think she knew it? Or was she hoping against all odds she’d be picked
If she didn’t know it, she’s not very smart… I feel like everyone in and around the program and just about all the fans as well new that it would go to someone like DBK.

In other words, I think she knew it.

Uh oh. I hope the volleyball team can continue to compete at a high level without John Cook.
Why wouldn’t they? Serious question… What makes someone think they would fall apart? They are hiring one of the best coaches in America to replace one of the best coaches in America. This isn’t a buddy hire… DBK had their school in the National championship game. We’ll be ok.
