Inside Nebraska can confirm the Huskers are set to hire Pat Monaghan.
Monaghan spent 2024-25 as an assistant at Wyoming under head coach Sundance Wicks. Monaghan replaces Adam Howard, who left last month to be an assistant on Will Wade’s first NC State staff.

At Division II Minnesota State, Monaghan helped the Mavericks make four NCAA Tournament appearances and a pair of Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference titles.
In June of 2022, Monaghan was one of 12 Division I assistants selected to attend the Jay Bilas Coaches Leadership Program designed to identify and develop up-and-coming coaches who have the potential to be head coaches.
