Dani Busboom Kelly was announced as the coach of the Nebraska Volleyball program as she took over the position from legendary coach John Cook, who was the program’s coach for 25 seasons. However, Cook announced his decision to retire from the coaching role to spend more time with family, paving the way for former Husker Dani Busboom Kelly to take over.

Ahead of the volleyball program's first indoor match of the season, Busboom Kelly reflected in a pre-match press conference that the transition to her leadership at Nebraska has been smooth, with everyone being positive and open-minded. She added that many elements are similar to what Cook had built, but has tweaked things slightly to fit her own style.

Previously, the 39-year-old served as the head coach of the Louisville volleyball team from 2017 to 2024, where in her final season, she helped lead the team to the finals of the 2024 NCAA Volleyball Championships.
