Northern Illinois is hiring Northern Michigan's Matt Majkrzak to be the next head coach of the Huskies, multiple outlets reported Monday.
Majkrzak compiled a 136-73 record over seven seasons at the school in Marquette, Mich., guiding the Wildcats to four consecutive Division II NCAA Tournaments.
The two-time Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year's season ended Sunday with an 86-68 loss to Walsh in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Majkrzak replaces Rashon Burno, who was fired on March 7 following a 9-21 season.
Northern Illinois is joining the Horizon League for most of its sports later this year following 29 seasons in the Mid-American Conference.
The Huskies haven't made the NCAA Tournament since 1996 when they were members of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, which was the former name for the Horizon League.
