Exactly..."McDermott declined an interview when he was approached Monday by an Associated Press reporter on the Iowa State campus"Quote:

THis will be VERY awkward if these rumors are not true. Can you imagine being Greg Mc on the tailgate tour next month if he does not leave. "Come shake my hand and take a picture before I leave or get fired."
He has to be leaving. If he stayed, this just gives JP all the more reason to can him after this year.
with all those that are not happy with him I was wondering if he would go on the tour or not...guess it will be extra happy and upbeat now with a new coach, good run by the womens team and coming off of a bowl win.Quote:

Here's the question i have......
Why are Buckley and Hamilton still allowed into the practice facility. If they've already indicated they're leaving, then we should not allow them to continue to use the Iowa State Facilities.....
When you have someone who is leaving for whatever reason, its not good to have that mentality around your team....seems odd to me.
The only public comment he would have at this point would be if he was staying. I seriously doubt he would tell the AP he was leaving before talking to the team. This situation seems to be developing very slowly today.
From Peterson's blog, what are Justin Hamilton and Buckley doing going into the locker room if they are transferring?
My guess would be that a courtesy call on the President would be why he would be on campus.
Good point.Quote:

Edit: N/M. I see now. Yeah, that seems messed up.
My guess is combination of waiting for assistant coaches to get back on campus from recruiting trips and GMac making his decision. While I think he will go, it doesn't surprise me that he is thinking it through. As much as it is likely a smart career move, even though he is moving down, (rather than get canned next year) I suspect with Greg's character leaving his players and the university is not an easy decision for him.
I will be surprised if he doesn't go, but I will be shocked if he rushes it, and fails to go with class and do it the right way.
