Fred Hoiberg has agreed to a new three-year contract extension that will keep him in place as Nebraska’s head coach for the foreseeable future.
With the updated deal, Hoiberg is set to remain with the program through the 2031–32 season.
Under Hoiberg’s direction, the Cornhuskers have reached at least 20 wins in three consecutive seasons – an achievement unmatched in the program’s history.
The team also enters the Big Ten tournament ranked No. 11 nationally, reflecting its steady rise as a competitive force.
“Fred has built this program step by step, and his leadership has Nebraska positioned to continue to compete at a high level in the Big Ten Conference and nationally,” athletic director Troy Dannen said in a statement.
“Fred is one of the most respected coaches in the country by his peers, and his success has been recognized throughout the college basketball world.”
Before returning to the college ranks, Hoiberg served as head coach of the Chicago Bulls from 2015 to 2018, gaining valuable NBA experience that has helped shape his approach at Nebraska.
“We have a long family history with the University of Nebraska, and the support we have received over the last seven years is truly remarkable,” Hoiberg said.
“We are blessed with world-class facilities, but the people are what make Nebraska special. Our goal is to continue building a program that our fans can embrace and have pride in because it represents the values of Nebraska.”
