Trio of recommendations spurred Moos' interest in Bolt, who quickly impressed his new boss

“I didn’t really talk to anybody else about taking the job,” Moos said. “I did talk to some people that I trust a lot in the college game and Pat Casey was one of those. Defending national champion, really knows the industry really well, just to get his thoughts on things. He’s retired now, so I think he’s pretty happy. …

With that baseline, Bolt, the 39-year-old Conroe, Texas, native and two-time Husker captain, handled the rest from there.

“This place means a lot to me, so when (Moos) got hired, I kind of started doing research on him, for no other reason other than he’s going to be the AD at Nebraska,” Bolt said.
