{{main|List of Nebraska Cornhuskers athletic directors}}
In its earliest days, the Nebraska Department of Athletics had no central figure; the department's first leaders typically were part-time officials who held others titles and responsibilities. The first "Athletics Manager" was multi-sport coach Raymond G. Clapp, who filled the role from 1902 to 1905.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nebnewspapers.unl.edu/lccn/sn96080312/1961-06-20/ed-1/seq-3|title=NU History Boasts 15 Athletic Directors|author=Leon Nyberg|website=[[The Daily Nebraskan]]|publisher=Nebraska Newspapers|date=20 June 1961|access-date=9 July 2021}}</ref> It became a full-time position in 1920 and was first held by [[Fred Luehring]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://yearbooks.unl.edu/yearbook.php?year=1926,596#page/437/mode/transcription|title=1926 ''Cornhusker,'' University of Nebraska Yearbook|publisher=Archives and Special Collections, University of Nebraska–Lincoln|access-date=9 July 2021|page=437}}</ref>

Beginning with Luehring, Nebraska recognizes seventeen official athletic directors, though at least fourteen others have held the role in an interim or ''de facto'' capacity. NU's longest-serving athletic director was [[Bob Devaney]], who led the department from 1967 to 1992. Including Devaney, five members of the [[College Football Hall of Fame]] have held the position.
