Legendary Nebraska volleyball legend John Cook has joined the Omaha Supernovas as the team’s co-owner and general manager. This comes just months after Cook announced he would be retiring as the Cornhuskers’ head coach. He could not stay away from the sport for too long, taking on a front office position in the Pro Volleyball Federation.

“After more than 30 years of coaching, I knew I wanted the next chapter to be just as impactful and becoming the General Manager of the Omaha Supernovas is exactly that opportunity,” Cook said in a statement.

“I’ve spent my career helping grow the game at the college level, and now I have the chance to take that knowledge and apply it in a new way, with the world’s leading professional volleyball franchise. The energy around our sport has never been higher, and the Supernovas are at the forefront of that momentum. There’s no better place than Nebraska, and no better organization than the Supernovas, to help take this sport to the next level.”
