Nebraska is finalizing a deal to hire former Iowa State and Chicago Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg as the school's next head coach, multiple outlets reported Saturday.
Hoiberg was considered to be a frontrunner for the Cornhuskers head coach opening after Nebraska parted ways with Tim Miles earlier this week.
Miles led the program to an 116–114 record during his seven-season tenure but was fired after the Huskers' 2018-19 season ended with a 19–17 mark and a second-round NIT loss despite a strong 11–2 start.
Hoiberg, 46, was born in Lincoln, Neb.
