Micah Shrewsberry’s tenure at Penn State is over.
Multiple national media outlets are reporting that Shrewsberry has agreed to become Notre Dame’s next head basketball coach.
He is expected to be introduced in South Bend on Friday.
CBS Sports reported that Shrewsberry is receiving a seven-year contract with the Fighting Irish.
It had been reported earlier this week that Penn State was trying to renegotiate Shrewsberry’s contract.
He was believed to be earning $2 million per year at Penn State, which according to Matt Fortuna of The Athletic had offered to double that.
However, Shrewsberry is an Indiana native and former assistant coach at both Butler and Purdue so he’s moving closer to his roots.
Shrewsberry led the Nittany Lions to a 23-14 record this past season, including a berth in the NCAA Tournament, where the Lions won their opening-round game against Texas A&M before losing to Texas for a spot in the Sweet Sixteen.
He was 37-31 in two seasons at PSU.
Prior to joining the Nittany Lions, Shrewsberry was an assistant coach for the Boston Celtics for six years.
The Mirror will have more coverage in Thursday’s print edition.
