Nebraska hired former Chicago Bulls and Iowa State head coach Fred Hoiberg as its basketball coach on Saturday, giving him a seven-year deal worth $25 million, the school announced.
Hoiberg, who was born in Lincoln, Neb., reportedly first was approached about the position in February, when Tim Miles was still coaching the team. The two sides had talks about the position throughout the week. “Lincoln is a special place for our family. I was born in Lincoln, my grandfather Jerry Bush was the head coach at Nebraska, my other grandfather was a long-time professor there, and my parents are proud graduates of the University of Nebraska. Nebraska has always felt like a second home.”Miles, 52, was fired Tuesday, two days after the Cornhuskers ended their season with an 88-72 loss at TCU in the second round of the NIT.
