Nebraska Announces Contract Extension for Men's Basketball Coach Fred Hoiberg

Fred Hoiberg will remain Nebraska's head coach through 2031-32 after leading the Huskers to three straight 20-win seasons and a school-record 26 wins this season.

  • On Monday, Nebraska announced a three-year extension for the university's men's basketball head coach, keeping him under contract through 2032.
  • Hoiberg's on-court success this season—including a 26-5 record and school-record 15 Big Ten wins—prompted Nebraska to extend his contract through 2032.
  • The extension follows earlier pay restructurings and a 2024 contract change, marking Hoiberg's third adjustment after a 2022 restructuring that cut his salary from $3.5 million to $3.25 million and a 2024 extension raising pay to $4.25 million.
  • The move secures coaching continuity into the 2030s, with Dannen recognizing Hoiberg as one of the most respected coaches, amid a revenue-sharing increase announced earlier this year.
  • Days before the Big Ten Tournament, Nebraska announced the extension as the No. 2 seed and will open play Friday at 5:30 p.m.
