Frostberg Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I hope Creighton can hold on to him. He has been great for the program and has a good thing going right now. Quote Link to comment

They will die if he is hired Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 If this happens, imagine the recruiting he can do at OSU and we'd get to play his team 1 to 3 times a year. I can see this biting us in the hind end. 1 Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 The rumor i heard was that Ohio State offered $3.5M/yr. Creighton could only get up to $1.7M/yr. That's quite a difference to leave on the table if true. Quote Link to comment

I can see this biting us in the hind end. Oh, I imagine he will struggle big time not only winning games but in recruiting. He will be recruiting against... 1. MSU 2. Michigan 3. Illinois 4. ND 5. Indiana 6. Purdue 7. Xavier 8. Cincy  That is just for the "local" recruits. He has no ties to the seedy underbelly of recruiting that is Chicago so that basically means he will get nothing from that area.  I think he will/would struggle hard. Almost like he did at ISU.

That's quite a difference to leave on the table if true. Huge difference. Now, CU might also offer more in terms of "private" money, who knows...but Mac is probably taking a long hard look at this as his winning lotto ticket. Quote Link to comment

Huskinator Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Reading the posts on elevenwarrior, I hope to god he turns them down (which sounds like he will). They are so smug and it's hilarious what they are saying. They act like he already took the job. Quote Link to comment

They are so smug and it's hilarious what they are saying. They act like he already took the job. Â There are some smug comments on elevenwarriors about this subject (just so you know... you can find many smug comments on this fine message board) but McDermott doesn't have the resume or upside for a job like OSU. Also, other than ESPN, and they have been known to get this incorrect from time to time (ask Michigan), who said that OSU offered McDermott the job? OSU did interview him for the job but that doesn't mean an offer was extended. Hiring a basketball coach at OSU isn't the same as hiring a basketball coach at other footballs schools. Ohio is a basketball talent rich state and Ohio State has a rich basketball history. Quote Link to comment
jaws Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Are we going to be surprised when McDermott signs a contract extension at Creighton and gets a raise? Quote Link to comment
