Article requires a subscription, but in summary, it seems the Huskers are focusing on former Husker shortstop and current Texas A&M assistant Will Bolt.
Kendall Rogers also says, however, to keep an eye on Rick Heller as this search comes to a close. On Heller, Rogers says:
Iowa head coach Rick Heller is another name to watch in this search. There's mutual interest, we're told, and Heller would do an amazing job at Nebraska. Heller has taken a program with bad facilities and resources and turned it into a consistent Big Ten and postseason contender. That's not easy. Heller is also very well-respected around the coaching community and would be an "A" grade hire for me. Stay tuned, as I think the Huskers search will come to an end in the next few days.

Purdue has hired Greg Goff as their next head coach. He has spent the past two seasons as a volunteer assistant at Purdue. He was previously a head coach at Campbell, Louisiana Tech and most recently prior to his work at Purdue, spent one season as head coach at Alabama.
I continue to stand by my post. You haven’t built up enough credibility for me to take your speculation over others.
It will be Will Bolt if he wants the job.
Should have been his years ago.
Huskers make it official: Will Bolt is the next head coach, 5-year contract @ $300,000 per year

Penn State & Northwestern don't release salary information.

Heller 341K, so I was a bit off.

Heller is 2nd highest paid in the B1G? Yikes!
From Hawk Central:
Aug 24, 2018
Heller's contract length runs through the 2024 season....His base salary for the 2018-19 season was bumped to $325,000 — an increase of $63,000, or 24 percent, from his previously scheduled $262,000.
Also, Heller's base pay (not including performance bonuses) was upped from $275,000 to $341,000 for the 2019-20 season.
The terms of Heller's latest contract, which was signed in June, were obtained by the Des Moines Register through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Heller was mentioned as a possibility for an opening at Kansas State in the offseason and continues to be a hot coaching name. He has led Iowa to an average of 34.6 wins in his five seasons.

wow. would love to know how much money each of these school's baseball program loses (where they are subsidized by donors, football, basketball, etc)
LSU's baseball coach makes $1.125 million and LSU had a higher average attendance than the Miami Marlins last year. This article posts the SEC attendance figures. Nearly 400k thru the gates last year for LSU.

Did Heller hire KF's agent? Heller making $341,000 at Iowa is very good. I'd imagine it would take a substantial increase to get him to leave.
Would ND be a better job? It would be much harder to win as a northern school in the ACC.

With Rick it's about more than just salary.
The ND job is still a good one, but most veteran coaches agree it isn't what it used to be.
Everything I’ve read about ND is they don’t care about baseball anymore. Zero fan support anymore.
Wow, had no idea baseball salaries had cracked $1M
At least nine Division I baseball coaches make at least $1 million.
I just read Kendall Rogers' update on the Notre Dame search. Woof, you weren't kidding about veteran coaches not being so interested. Most of the reported smoke involves top assistants without head coaching experience.
It would be difficult to compete with Miami, Florida State, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, NCST, etc. from South Bend.
