Chris Mack will be the new head coach at Louisville, reports Jeff Goodman and Jeff Borzello of ESPN. The former Xavier coach has agreed to a seven-year deal worth about $4 million per year.
In nine seasons with the Musketeers, Mack led the program to the NCAA Tournament eight times. He took to Twitter to thank the Xavier community on Tuesday:

Mack, 48, replaces Rick Pitino, who was terminated “for just cause” back in October after an FBI investigation into fraud and corruption was connected to the Cardinals.
