And when you have Coach Cook and Harper Murray in the mix, there’s no doubt a TikTok dance is on the way.
After the game, Coach Cook was asked by Big Ten Volleyball, “Coach, before you go celebrate with your team, will there be a Big Ten championship TikTok from you and Harper?” To which Coach Cook, with his signature humor, replied: “That’s a great question. Harper hasn’t said anything yet, but my phone’s in the locker, so who the heck knows what’s gonna happen tonight. But if I had to bet money, I’d say there’s probably gonna be something.” Well, it looks like that promise has come true, and fans are definitely in for a treat!
John Cook Fulfills the Promise! John Cook took to TikTok—or should we say, Harper Murray did it on his behalf—after the big win, and let’s just say, it was as iconic as it can get! In the video, Coach Cook rocked his championship cap like a true star, posing to the catchy beats of Megan Thee Stallion’s “Pose.” There he was, flashing that signature smile, striking poses, and even throwing up some rock hand signs.

They rushed straight to the comments, absolutely loving every second of this epic reel. One fan even commented, “Literally serving on and off the court!” and honestly, we couldn’t agree more!
While this dynamic duo is absolutely killing it off the court with their viral TikTok reel, they’ve been just as unstoppable on the court. In the game against Maryland, Harper Murray was on fire, racking up 12 kills and serving up two aces. And with Coach John Cook at the helm, guiding the Huskers with his signature leadership, they clinched a share of the Big Ten title, proving once again that they’re a force to be reckoned with in every arena.

But would you believe there was a time when he didn’t even know he had a TikTok account? Oh, the irony! As it turns out, the mastermind behind Cook’s viral fame is none other than Murray. In true behind-the-scenes mischief, she’s the brains behind the operation. Cook didn’t hold back when spilling the beans, confessing, “I have not created anything. Apparently, Harper manages my TikTok account. I didn’t even know I had TikTok on my phone. They grabbed my phone, and then TikTok happened. …But hey, if they like it, I like it.” Talk about a coach trusting the process—and in this case, the TikTok magic!
