Bergen Reilly makes her feelings known as John Cook hands over Nebraska Volleyball head coach duties to Dani Busboom Kelly

Bergen Reilly was in awe of the frame that featured former Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball coach John Cook hugging the new coach Dani Busboom Kelly. Cook retired from his head coaching role after serving the Cornhuskers for 25 years.

Reilly, the standout volleyball player, who joined the Nebraska volleyball team in 2021, won her second consecutive Big Ten Setter of the Year in her sophomore season in 2024. She became the first player in the Big Ten history to achieve a double. She also became Big Ten Setter of the Week five times in a season, setting a school record with her effort.

Hailing from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the 6-foot-1 setter will stay for another year in Nebraska while seniors, Lexi Rodriguez and Merritt Beason, turn professionals. Head coach John Cook also stepped down from his role after serving the Cornhuskers for 25 years.

The Huskers' official Instagram account shared a picture of Cook and newly recruited coach Dani Busboom Kelly hugging each other, captioning the moment as:

"Take the reins."
