Chris Mack is leaving Xavier to become the head coach of Louisville's men's basketball team, according to ESPN's Jeff Goodman. The deal for seven years is reportedly worth about $4 million per season.
Mack is coming off a season in which he led the Musketeers to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament but only made it as far as the Round of 32 before losing to Florida State. Xavier finished the season 29–6 while capturing the Big East regular season title.
Mack was named the head coach at Xavier in 2009 and spent time with the team in the Atlantic 10 and Big East Conference.
