But for those hoping Lue will fill Nebraska's current head coaching vacancy, the chances appear to be very slim, as multiple sources say Husker athletic director Bill Moos has targeted Fred Hoiberg for the position. Meanwhile, multiple sources told the Journal Star that Lue has expressed interest in the job.
Moos said Tuesday his search for Tim Miles' replacement "probably will take seven to 14 days" to complete. I know from previous conversations with Moos that he is aware of Lue's prowess both as a player at Nebraska and as an NBA coach. But if you listened closely to Moos discuss what he seeks in the Huskers' next head coach, his comments seem to work against Lue being even among the primary candidates.
