In Moos We Trust

JOE BOB HUSKER COLUMN

Now that the season has come to a close I refuse to write another short column with a lopsided score and statistics. We all know what happened at home against Iowa and quite frankly I don't feel like sounding like a broken record today. Let's talk about what happens next and as I gather my thoughts so many unfamiliar emotions are starting to flow through me....sad, mad, frustrated, happy (the season is over) but the one that dominates all those emotions, oddly enough, is excited.

Yeah I know it's a strange emotion to have considering Huskers Nation just experienced the worst football season since 1957. Here is why I am excited and his name is Bill Moos. The way he represented himself and the university at the press conference on Saturday, explaining why he terminated Mike Riley just felt really good to me. He is a down to earth guy and he had no problem opening up to the media and the fans. So refreshing when you consider how stale and anti social Shawn Eichorst was. Moos says what's on his mind and doesn't beat around the bush. I like the confidence he carries and the way he carries that confidence with a country boy chip on his shoulder so to speak. When asked what he thought of the 2nd half of the Iowa game he paused for a second and responded with "Well, I had two Runzas. They're pretty good now." I found that funny as heck and so did everyone at the press conference because laughter erupted. The guy knows how to calm tense situations and make no mistake Husker Nation is on edge and tense.

Moos knows most of us want Scott Frost as our next head coach, whether that happens or not I don't know but I will say this....he made a reference to the kind of offense he liked which is balanced with a sprinkle of option mixed in from time to time. I don't know who all paid attention to that remark but he described Frost's spread offense to a tee. Maybe I am looking to deep and seeing what I want to happen but regardless of that I think Bill Moos is a perfect fit as the AD for our beloved Husker sports program and I am going to trust his leadership. I will end my thoughts by saying I really hope we get Scott Frost back home but if we don't let's stay on board with the Moos train. He has turned programs around before and I believe he will do it here as well. GBR!!!!
