“I think Dana’s happy where he’s at and they like him,” Moos said. “He’s a heck of a coach. I think he’s comfortable there. I didn’t talk to him.”

Hoiberg, though, is on the list.

Moos reached out to Hoiberg to gauge interest last month. Moos said he’s not sure he if has a “true answer” on Hoiberg’s interest in the job, and the former Iowa State coach has not flown to Lincoln for an interview.

Hoiberg, 46, was born in Lincoln and is the grandson of Jerry Bush, who coached Nebraska from 1954-63.

Hoiberg, who faced the Huskers many times as a player for Iowa State, went 16-16 in his first season coaching the Cyclones. ISU then made four straight NCAA tournaments, advancing to the Sweet 16 in 2014. Iowa State won the Big 12 tournament in his final two seasons before he left for the Chicago Bulls in 2015.

Hoiberg went 115-155 with the Bulls before being fired in December.

Hoiberg or not, Moos said he thinks Nebraska can attract a top coach and pay a competitive salary. Miles made $2.375 million this season, which was eighth in the conference.

“We have the ability to pay the going rate for top coaches,” Moos said.
