Former Iowa State and Chicago Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg will reportedly be considered the frontrunner for Nebraska's head-coach vacancy once Tim Miles is relieved of his duties, according to Stadium's Jeff Goodman.
The Cornhuskers, who finished 18–16 after rising as high as 24th in the AP top 25, are currently competing in the NIT. Miles has helmed the program since the 2012-13 campaign. In seven seasons, he has led Nebraska to one NCAA tournament appearance (2013-14).
Hoiberg, 46, was born in Lincoln, Neb. He most recently coached the Bulls, his first NBA head-coaching gig.
