The Nebraska Cornhuskers will hire Ernie Zeigler as an assistant coach, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Zeigler had been an assistant coach at Mississippi State since 2016. From 2007 to 2012, he served as the head coach of Central Michigan leading the Chippewas to a 75-111 overall record.
During his career, Zeigler has also had stints as an assistant coach at Kansas State (2000), Bowling Green (2001), Pittsburgh (2002-03), UCLA (2004-06), and Detroit (2014-15).
Zeigler is filling the vacancy left by Armon Gates. In July, Gates departed Nebraska to accept a position at Oregon. Prior to his departure, Gates had been Nebraska’s longest-tenured assistant coach, as he had been with the program since 2018.
