McDermott Offered tOSU Job

[OH HSKR FAN]

I wonder if the move by Creighton from the Missouri Valley to the Big East played a roll?

 

Big East has Villanova, Creighton and Xavier for starters. Wichita State joins this winter.

I love the comments! They will die if he is hired

I think one of the things to keep in mind is that Thad Matta had only one non 20 win season (which was this past season) the whole time he was at OSU. Meanwhile, McD has had 11 non 20 win seasons (don't quote me on those numbers; what I was told. hah). There is a reason people get up in arms. Hell, remember when Riley was announced coach at Nebraska; you guys were up in arms about bringing in a subpar coach.

The rumor tonight is Chris Holtmann. We will see if this is the one.

I know a few people close to the program. There definitely was an offer for McDermott at around $3.5M/yr. Creighton is working to get him "North of $2M/yr" on a new contract.

So Creighton job > tOSU job??

You might be right...I don't think there was ever an "offer" but that is just a guess. With that said, I have a hard time thinking they even had interest in him.

Just a guess...with OSU comes real expectations and real fans being annoying. OSU just fired their all time winningest coach after 1 bad season and 1 below average season. If Mac was offered (I don't think he was) I am sure that weighed on his mind.

If true, then Holtmann needs a better agent. Because I believe he is going to take the job for slightly less money. Holtmann was one of OSU's original targets.

I think it was slightly more complicated than that.

Sure...recruiting went way south for some reason too.

I had 2 different sources tell me this and they are from different circles. There was an offer.

Can I ask...who are the sources?

 

I just don't think they ever put a contract in front of him.

You can ask. But that's as far as it will go. Believe me or don't. I passed along some information. I don't care enough about Creighton basketball to make a thing of this.
