Harper Murray Reveals John Cook’s Post-Retirement Lifestyle Ahead of His Nebraska Return

“Their relationship is probably, over the years, is one of the most true forms of kind of a father-daughter relationship that I’ve seen,” Lindsay Peterson said about Harper Murray and John Cook. So while Cook’s retirement came as a huge shock to the outside hitter, she and Coach Cook remain close. Unsurprisingly, the last time Coach Cook came to Nebraska for the Supernovas’ game, Murray was with him.

Naturally, when the 20-year-old sat for a chat with Hail Varsity, one of the questions that came her way was about John Cook. “So how often do you get to stay in touch with Coach Cook then?” Anna Bellinghausen asked the NLU junior. Murray was more than happy to oblige Bellinghausen with the details. “You know, I texted him last week if he wanted to get dinner,” she confessed.

Unfortunately, the former Nebraska Huskers head coach had no plans to come down to Lincoln. “He’s in Wyoming doing whatever with his horses. So when he gets back into Lincoln, I’m sure we’ll do something. But yeah, he’s, you know? He’s caught up in being a grandpa right now. He’s focused on that,” Harper Murray said during her exclusive with Hail Varsity.
