Dani Busboom Kelly's husband, Lane Kelly took to Instagram to express his thoughts about the new development. He reflected on Busboom Kelly's journey from deciding to become a coach and now gearing up to lead the Huskers in the upcoming NCAA Division 1 volleyball season.

Lane Kelly expressed how it has been an exciting journey for them as a couple and he looked forward to witnessing her embarking on a new chapter in her coaching career.

"6 years ago Dan took a chance and followed her heart to coach VB, moving almost a thousand miles away from home. Dating at the time, I knew I had to go along for the ride.. What a ride it’s been! Starting a family, meeting incredible life long friends.. Can’t wait for what’s to come! Love you @coachdbk #GBR🌽"he wrote.

Dani Busboom Kelly expressed her thoughts on receiving immense support from Nebraska Volleyball players after it was announced that she would be taking over as the head coach of the team. Busboom revealed how even though it was very tough for the players to come to terms with coach John Cook's retirement, they were ready to support her as she geared up to take over the new role.

Even though she did not know the players on a personal level, witnessing such a positive response made her feel overwhelmed.

"I thought it was amazing. You know, I don't know these players very well. I recruited them, some of them, I might have had one or two conversations with some of them but nothing more than very surface-level and for them to lose someone like John and immediately be able to turn their focus into you know what's next and what can we do to support Dani, it was huge to hear that and just another sign that this was a great move at the right time," she said (via @huskervb on Instagram).

As Dani Busboom Kelly made a transition to Nebraska Volleyball, she thanked the players at Louiseville Volleyball and the support staff for being a part of a very important phase of her life.
