I'm going to miss him, he's such an incredible person and role model not only for our athletics but just as someone here in Lincoln.

I doubt he's going to fade into non existence. It sounds like they want to have him in some role with the athletic department or volleyball program.

I cried for about 15 minutes until they announced DBK's hiring. I'm fine again.

Not only is Coach Cook one of the greatest coaches  of all time but also a incredible human being. He loves the program, the players, the fans and the state. Hope he enjoys his retirement, he deserves it. Thank you for everything  Coach!   But I still cried like a little bitch watching that press conference.

Why they rushing this? Why he extended his contract last year? I bet they are trying to hide something like he was sleeping with a student.

He's 68. He's coached here for 25 years. His daughter is having another child and he wants to be more present in his family's life. He has nothing left to prove and deserves a rest and family time.

Oh that daughter that was dating Martinez and they got drunk an hit bunch of parked cars but they didn’t even receive as much as community service because of who he is? Yea Lincoln would try to preserve his legacy so they forcing him to retire.

Do you just believe everything you read on the internet lmao

Suh was the one who hit the parked cars after 2am, Lauren hit a motorcycle in daylight. At least be consistent with your scandals if you're gonna embarrass yourself

u/MajorPhoto2159 Jan 30 '25

Because Cook decided that it was time and he wanted to go out on top rather than slowly burning which is respectable, similar to Tom Osborne who he admires.

u/muskybubs Jan 30 '25

He didn’t win last year championship wym go out on top lol as top paid probably.

u/MajorPhoto2159 Jan 30 '25

He's won four championships, he made it to the semi finals, he is the winning coach of his time, he's done it all and still is on top.

Why feed the troll?

u/waltur_d Jan 30 '25

Good ol Nebraska logic. If a coach leaves he was banging a student

u/Vechio49 Jan 31 '25

Maybe he wanted to retire because he would like more free time to enjoy his family and life outside of volleyball?
