One 'N' shy of Moon Unit....Thank you Frank Zappa!
I'm not sure I agree that the reception was the same. I think the Riley hire garnered a universal 'Huh?' with a slow warming to the idea by a handful, then a majority of the fan base over the next eight months. Moos wasn't on my radar, but from my research he is a solid AD and someone worthy of the job. The 'fit' stuff everyone keeps mentioning I have no idea on because I don't personally know any of the individuals involved. He does seem to be a Nebraska kind of guy, so I'm hopeful it will work out. Mix that with his performance as a P5 AD in the past and I think he's a good hire.
....and when we hired our previous AD. Let's be honest. There is a subset of fans who would shout GO BIG RED if Satan put on a Nebraska hat.

Food for thought/A grain of salt: I remember when the previous/most recent ADs were hired they were also described by someone at that time as "A good Fit" for NU.
Is he not a great fit? The Lord and savior, Tom Osborne, appears to think so. Should we instead whine and complain about a decision we had no input making and, beyond maybe one or two posters, wouldn't have the necessary tools to judge with foresight anyway?
I'd be torn. Would he run the option?
He's always wearing red...that's important to some.
Switzer? I thought he was too old to coach at NU.
No, no. I remember asking, "who is Mike Riley?" My friend said he was the coach at Oregon St. I said, "but they suck."
What about Dweezil? Dweezil always gets left out....
Are you speaking of Steve Pederson here? :O O:

Is Bill Moos a good AD and will he do great at Nebraska? Who knows, ask me again in 5 years and I can better give you an answer.
On paper he appears to be a good fit. Culturally he appears to be a good fit. Eastern Washington looks a lot like Western Nebraska. For those that have never been to the area take my word for it, I live up here. The people of the area are farmers and ranchers just like in Nebraska and Bill Moos is a rancher himself and grew up on a ranch/farm in Eastern Washington.
That is a lot closer fit culturally than a lawyer from Wisconsin that was living in Miami when we hired him. Bill Moos is a people person that likes to press the flesh. SE was an accountant that wanted to never be seen.
