Long not going anywhere; Nebraska hires WSU AD

Arkansas athletics director Jeff Long won’t be going to Nebraska.

Nebraska made the announcement Sunday afternoon they have hired Bill Moos, the current athletic director at Washington State.

Moos signed a five-year contract with Nebraska with a base salary of $1 million, plus incentives. Moos will officially begin his tenure with Nebraska on Oct. 23.

“Nebraska has secured a proven winner in Bill Moos to lead Husker Athletics into a new era of excellence,” Nebraska chancellor Ronnie Green said in a press release. “It was clear that Bill stood out in a very competitive, tremendously gifted pool of candidates, not only because of his proven ability to lead programs to greatness, but because of his reputation for integrity in building and leading those programs.”

Long, who has officially been Arkansas’ athletics director since 2008, was considered one of the people in the mix for the position, according to a story in the Omaha World on Sunday morning.

Now, considering the state of affairs with Cornhuskers football and how tenous coach Mike Riley is, does this open the door for mercurial coach Mike Leach to be hired at Nebraska?
