Greg McDermott, the Creighton men's basketball coach for the past seven seasons, has been offered the head-coaching job at Ohio State, multiple sources told ESPN.
The two sides met Wednesday night and McDermott emerged as a serious candidate to replace Thad Matta, the sources said.
McDermott, 52, has spent the past seven years in Omaha, Nebraska, where he has taken the Bluejays to the NCAA tournament four times. He also spent four seasons at Iowa State and five at Northern Iowa.
Creighton finished 25-10 this past season and lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament to Rhode Island.
