Chris Holtmann fired

[hbkmyr]

Surprised I thought he'd do well at Ohio State. Rumors are they will take a run at McDermott.

Holtmann did a great job with Butler. A real head scratcher why it didn’t translate to Ohio St.

wonder if McDermott May bite this time around.

 

[Piratz]

Cronin doesn’t seem too happy at UCLA.

McDermott declined them once a few years ago. I wonder if either of the BE names jump. Miller going to do it to Xavier again?

 

[SOBO1]

McDermott was their first choice last time too, but he turned them down so the hired Holtmann. I would imagine with NIL now in play Creighton is in an even stronger position this time around. A BigEast coach told me at the time Creighton has best NIL in the BigEast and can compete with SEC money.

 

[Seton75]

He and mack jumped ship. Didnt like either one

Mack you can’t blame. Xavier is a fantastic program - but Louisville is a top 10 job in the sport.

This is ridiculous some of these coaches won't be leaving for this gig. If you are at another public state school elsehwere you have good compensation as it is. Now if I am an agent, I say my client starts to talk at 5m base.

Well with Pitino yes

Hope Sean miller stays at X. Been brutal for them this year with injuries, but he’s got them on the path back to where they were with Mack.

 

[MBF72]

I've liked Holtmann since his Butler days. Realize things didn't pan out at Ohio State, esp. this year, but firing him on Feb. 13 is classless for a guy who has been there seven years. Just me.

 

[HallX2]

Sean Miller should bolt this afternoon. He belongs at OSU.

McDermott seems like he would stay but they can afford stupid money for him.

You never what goes on behind the scenes with these things. Maybe both sides agreed it was better to get it over with earlier in order to get a head start on their next moves.

 

[SOpirate]

DePaul should call Holtmann up today and ask him what his price is.

 

[Shu2022]

Hopefully this means Scotty Middleton transfers out and ends up at the hall where he should’ve been

 

[hbkmyr]

A few days old, but....

 

[shu09]

McDermott has some issues with the Creighton AD I believe. Definitely think he could be on the move.

Cronin to Louisville. Muss to UCLA.

Creighton will deeply regret losing him if that comes to pass.

McDermott's salary I saw was 1.4 mil or so. That could be old. Seems low. Stupid money just might do it.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Transfer portal open for osu roster

 

[SPK145]

McDermott's salary I saw was 1.4 mil or so. That could be old. Stupid money just might do it.

Made $2.3 million in the year ended 06/30/22.

 

[RSPirate]

I am sure we place a call to Scotty Middleton..I believe we finished runner up to OSU

 

[Pirate Russ]

Maybe McDermott is smart enough to realize that leaving Big East jobs does not tend to work out well. Holtman fired, Mack fired, Willard already on hot seat. He has a good thing going at Creighton including a reasonable fan base......

 

[radecicco]

If McDermott is considering leaving it would be after this season. All his program mainstays will be gone too.

 

[PiratePride]

Made $2.3 million in the year ended 06/30/22.

the 1.4 did look low. Sha's pulling in 2mil +

Definitely making a call. I'm skeptical of him coming here. No inside knowledge; just a feeling

 

[TrueBlue1989]

Creighton is a better job and football is first at OSU.

 

[statenman]

They should call Buzz Williams

 

[NYShoreGuy]

They should call Buzz Williams

Buzz williams did all he maneuvering to get a head coach job in texas

 

[Gohall129]

Miller to Ohio State just sounds like a fit

Not sure that giving up Creighton is worth it for Ohio State… Kentucky, duke, UNC, Kansas, maybe a different story. McDermott should stay clear of this

 

[SHUSA]

i thought he did well his first 2 years. absolutely have to jump to a football school or risk being left out. i could see a few more spots opening and a few BE coaches bolting.

 

[HallLine69]

DePaul should call Holtmann up today and ask him what his price is.

I'd be very surprised if he lands there.

 

[hallgrad80]

With the B1G and SEC planning to be the top conferences in college basketball I wonder if Hurley would be interested if an offer comes his way to go to a program like Ohio State.

No way

You might be right.

Yea I think OSU is a tough sell basketball wise. I could see Miller jumping, but not McDermott.

The comment made about DePaul going for Holtmann is interesting - they should strongly consider that.

 

[Seton75]

How much over market does DP have to pay to get a name like him?

 

[SOpirate]

I'd be very surprised if he lands there.

Probably wouldn’t be Holtmann’s first choice, but it would be criminal for DePaul not to throw everything they have at him.

Proven Head coach, still young, strong midwestern recruiting ties, familiar with the Big East… they’re not going to find a better candidate.
