Bo Pelini, fired by Nebraska after seven seasons, will be named head coach at Youngstown State University.
Multiple reports in Ohio said an official announcement would be made as soon as Tuesday.
Reports of the possibility were shot down recently by Pelini, who is known to be bristly with media, who labeled the headlines “a complete fabrication.”
Pelini, 47, is a Youngstown native and former Ohio State defensive back.
Pelini was 67-27 at Nebraska. He will replace Eric Wolford, who was fired after going 7-5 in 2014.
