Next NU volleyball coach

[Pyrogasm]

John Cook is getting up there and who knows when he will hang it up. Who do you think will take over when he retires? Is Jordan Larson being groomed to take over? Does Dani Busboom Kelly come home? Or does someone else take over? I personally think we have a lot of great options.

Please not Jordan Larson. She should go cut her teeth somewhere else first. Also, a lot of people reminisce about how it was BS Tom got to name Solich head coach without the ADs approval, this could be another situation

 

[AdaminLincoln]

I think Jalen Reyes is being set up to take over. Ace recruiter and is the coach up actively making adjustments between points

 

[huskerfan66]

Could be Jalen. I think he's ready to be a head coach somewhere. The longer he stays at NU says something. Maybe he would rather be with NU as an assistant 🤔. Dani would make sense and be a popular choice. Big shoes to fill for sure.

Surprised Hildebrand is top assistant at usc

He’s not a proven head coach, where as Dani has proven she’s a top flight coach

Both would be great choices. Even though Dani signed a huge extension at Louisville she has a Nebraska clause in it that Nebraska or Dani pays no buyout if she leaves for Nebraska. That’s pretty telling IMO .

Very interesting! I did not know that.

Needs to be a man if we want more titles

Cook is obviously setting up the Larson. I think she needs a few years yet to become committed to coaching. The fact she returned from Paris wanting 2 weeks off tells me coaching isn't that important to her. Until she has two feet firmly in coaching and devotes her career to Nebraska instead of playing I would guess it is Dani. I love Jaylen but I don't think they will give him a shot.

 

[HuskerHusaria]

Dani all the way!

 

[Antwill]

I would put money on Busboom. There's a reason she keeps putting a clause in her Louisville contract that there's no buyout if she goes to Nebraska.

Hiring Larson would be like a Frost hire but with less coaching experience. Like hiring Mickey Joseph. NU can get the cream of the crop for their volleyball coach. Remember when we could have hired anyone we wanted to replace Osborne but we hired Solich?

Larson was a great player. Hiring her to be the head coach would be the most nonsensical stupid thing imaginable.

 

[Chief Wiggum]

The successor to Cook is Dani, period end of story.

Larson was a great player but she seems like a very fickle person....I don't think she'd make a good head coach. The best players usually don't make great head coaches.

I would say high maintenance more than fickle

 

[TruHusker]

I have read that some of the outside hitters really like Larson. I think she is where she needs to be right now, a assistant.

Could very well be. I thought Reyes was kinda the MB guy, hunter was the setter/libero guru. So this would make sense she'd be working with hitters

 

[huskerfan1414]

Larson doesn't want to be head coach, so it's a moot point.

Doesn’t matter what she wants or doesn’t want . She would be at the bottom of any list of being qualified for the Nebraska job.

How about Tyler Hildebrand? Although -- he's a west coast guy and might prefer to stay out there.

He was encouraged to leave to get experience. His name would be mentioned.

 

[grimlock78]

Dani would be my first choice, but I also wonder would happen if you could lure Kirsten Bernthal Booth away from Creighton.

She has done really well at Creighton. I wouldn’t mind that choice.

 

[leodisflowers]

No thanks on anything Crayton... Nope, Nope, Nope. Dani or Reyes

 

[NU65]

I would place my money on Dani Busboom and she would be good and is probably a top choice of many. That being said Nebraska is probably the only job she would leave Louisville for too.

Hiring Busboom would be be an out of the park homerun for Volleyball at Nebraska. She would definitely be in the top two choices for sure.

Dani has had the Nebraska exclusion for a few years now.
One has to suspect some things have been said in private to both NU and Louisville.

I know I am apprehensive when and if we play Louisville in a match.
