McDermott confirmed it to the Register already...
That is funny, I guess Pollard wasn't suppose to say that. oops
Pollard can say anything he wants, if it's true, as far as I'm concerned.

Pollard Confirms McDermott to Creighton
AMES, Iowa- Iowa State Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard said Monday that Greg McDermott informed him this afternoon that he has accepted the men’s basketball head coaching position at Creighton.
“I know this was a very difficult decision for Greg and his family,†Pollard said. “The contract terms that Creighton offered him and an opportunity to coach his son were significant factors in his decision. We wish Greg the best of luck at Creighton.â€
Pollard said that his immediate attention is focused finding a replacement and he would have no further comments at this time.
Fire up the flight tracker!
Per Perault talking to CW.
Cause Gmac didn't think ISU would retain him for the the time Doug was playing college ball. Perault telling CW that that info wasn't to become public yet and mentioned that Jacobsen and UNI administration might not know yet. I call BS since Gmac and jacobsen are buddies that surely Gmac called and talked to him about it.
I've lost a LOT of respect for GMac today as a person. Although I believe this worked out well for ISU, GMac is a loser for what he's done to JP on this deal.
JP came out and gave his full support to GMac only weeks ago when he really should have fired his rear end for doing such a horrible coaching job this season with the talent he had. JP stuck his head out on the line for him when he didn't need to.
And now GMac is going to pluck Doug away from one of his friends after he's already signed a LOI? That is low folks. Really low. It puts Jacobsen in a really tough spot to try to find someone else now.
I think we're beginning to see the GMac that I saw rip into Wayne Morgan on UNI's basketball court one night... when I lost all respect I had for GMac. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him hired as our next head coach for the immature acts he performed that night to ISU's head coach. I'm beginning to see why he lost so many players over the years now.
I think GMac is REALLY REALLY good at covering up who he really is. I think the players all witnessed a side of him that none of us ever got to see. Today is their day in the sun.
What did I miss here? Did Doug already decommit from UNI?

2 things. There are about 10 guys projected to go in the 1st round of the NBA Draft over the next 2 years from mid-majors so it's not really an exact science or even close to one. 2nd If Greg were taking over at any college in America, Doug would be going with him. Doug not committing to ISU had everything to do with timing and nothing to do with lack of talent.doug is good... not a Big XII player
More specifically: The tail number of the ISU plane has been blocked on flightaware.com by the owner. Therefore it cannot be tracked on flightaware.com. I know, I tried last year.:yes:you will have better luck just sitting out at amw...all flights will be blocked
agreedPollard will find a good coach. He should take a hard Look at Larry Eustachy who has been sober for 6+ years and is winning at southern miss. Alot of people thought Bruce Vandevelde was a complete "TOOL" for firing Larry. Larry should come in keep Grayer and TJ and get to work.
