McDermott (turned down) Ohio State

they offered him the job. Not Hoiberg but Mcdemott.

Very Dana Altman like. Fail at big 12, go to Creighton, take bigger job after re-establishing himself.

I guess they still want to be a football school. Gene must not of watched much ISU basketball after leaving.

And we thought Campbell would be the next Iowa State coach to go to Ohio State!

So, a former Iowa State AD hires a former Iowa State MBB coach. Interesting. I can only assume that this means we will get doubly blamed when it goes bad.

Exactly. I posted same thing in Matta thread with link to Jeff Goodman tweet. Totally out of left field.

He was on zero short-lists I've seen in recent days. Maybe they got a bargain.

Now who does Creighton get? Dana Altman?

Enjoy the cellar tOSU!

What a terrible hire.

Boo. I can't stand Ricky gervais.
But Interesting to see how McDermott does at THE OSU. Did well at UNI, Bombed at ISU, did surprisingly well at Creighton.

Lol @jsb

This is a horrendous hire.

Does Creighton make a move to get Fred Hoiberg? [jimlad]

Look for McD to pull what I like to call "The Full Chizik" and take the Buckeyes to an NC.

That'd be an inductee into the ISU Nutcup Hall of Fame, wouldn't it?

So Gene hires one of the worst coaches in ISU MBB history... Have fun with that. I can't b

Buckeye fans are not impressed:

Favorite quote I've gotten to so far:

Let's put it this way:

In 4 seasons as the head coach at Iowa State, Greg McDermott was 59-68.

In his first 4 seasons at Iowa State, Fred Hoiberg was 95-47.

Which one of those two do you want coaching your basketball team?

Face it: without his son draining 3s like Steph Curry on amphetamines (Meth Curry?), McDermott's record is thoroughly mediocre. I've gone from "meh" to "hell, no" on this one.
