Me:
I have no idea what to make of Bill Moos being out as AD.

This is going to get mixed reviews but I loved Bill Moos and what he’s done in his time here. I am genuinely disheartened to see his time at Nebraska come to an end so abruptly.

It does seem weird. But since it's a "retirement" I'm assuming if there are other reasons they will not be public. I shouldn't speculate on here, I respect Moos for what he's done at Nebraska and I trust Carter and Green to hire a good replacement.

Welp there’s gotta be like a zero percent chance moos is just suddenly retiring for no particular reason right? Like we might not find out about it outside of rumors in typical Nebraska athletics fashion but there’s gotta be literally no way he’s just retiring out of the blue

Oh, Moos retired? Effective immediately? Cool. Cool.

For all that’s on Twitter right now, I will say that I’m thankful for Bill Moos, what he represented, and what he accomplished at Nebraska. I’ll withhold judgment and believe the best.

Oh and I’m not owed an explanation for ppl’s personal decisions. I’m not that important.
I have been a husker fan ever since Bob Devany came to Nebraska. I have always liked Bill Moos and think he did a great job at Nebraska. I wish him and his family nothing but the very best for the rest of their lives.

Bill Moos has been a supporter of our cause from the time he got to Nebraska. We are truly grateful for his help in the fight. Mr. Moos, we wish you the best in your retirement and thank you for your support of Team Jack. (Photo from the 2018 Team Jack Foundation Gala)

It's fine.
End of transmission.
Moos was hired and introduced as Nebraska's 15th athletic director in October 2017. Here's a closer look a busy 3½-year run in Lincoln.
Bill Moos had the third-shortest tenure in the history of Nebraska athletic directors. But he made sweeping changes, including hiring 12 coaches.
In a wild day, one thing was clear: Moos is going to miss Nebraska — no "apparently" needed. The rest of Husker Nation is left holding on for the ride.

"Just had a great opportunity to get some really good, high-quality kids so far in the first couple weekends," NU coach Fred Hoiberg said during his Big Red Blitz stop in Grand Island.Â
It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Will Nixon get himself into the conversation some way, writes Parker Gabriel on the freshman from Texas.
Bill Moos' settlement seems to point in the direction that retirement wasn't entirely his own decision.
Garrett Klassy seemed like a logical pick to be Nebraska's interim athletic director. Those who knew him at other colleges reflect on his qualities.
Bill Moos wouldn't say if the decision to retire was solely his own. He says conversations with UNL officials were "adult" but not "contentious."
Who might Nebraska look at? Here is a list of potential candidates, beginning with a couple of internal options. Plus, a "home run" option.
