McDermott interviewed with Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard on Sunday in Iowa City. McDermott also interviewed with Kansas State on Monday in Chicago. A source told ESPN.com that McDermott was offered both jobs.

To quote the "Boom goes the Dynamite" guy:

Oh, no.

He must not have wanted it bad enough.

I'll bet Ritchie would kill to coach at KSU.

There are going to be a lot of unhappy people if we don't get Huggins.

There are a lot of coaches not named Bob Huggins that I'd be happy with.  None of them are worse than Greg McDermott.

Lots of people are claiming that this report is erroneous.

This is good to hear.  I was beginning to grow a little optomistic and needed a reality check like this.  Now I won't be quite as pissed when an announcement is made.

WTF is going on????
Huggins should be our primary target, why would we let it leak if we DID offer him.
I don't doubt he interviewed, but, I hope we haven't put offers to anyone other than Huggy on the table.
Please say it isn't so.  :crybaby:

Quite correct.  However, there are some who are just going to burn crosses in front of Wefald's and Wieser's houses if Huggy isn't our coach.

We need to return to being the premiere basketball school.  McDermott does not get us there.   Huggy would be the best of all worlds, but certainly, he isn't the only one that can take us there.

I think we should start with Huggy, and if it doesn't work out.. then OK.

I've got a good supply of lumber at my place...let me know when the cross-making party works best for everyone...

It's sounding like Katz might not be as full as crap as everyone wants to believe.

Just because McDermott didn't talk to Weiser doesn't mean someone else from KSU didn't.

I don't know crap about who found Ron Prince.

All I've heard is that Bob Krause visited with him first, and the source is CPAHawk.

Katz IS full of crap.  There's no question about that.

I don't know what kind of job you've got, but I don't know anybody that has gotten a job offer for a $500K (or greater) job on the FIRST &@#%ing interview!!

While I do believe that somebody from KSU (not Weiser) met with McDermott yesterday on KSU's behalf, I am very confident based on contacts that I have that he WAS NOT made an offer, but was made aware of our level of interest and where he stood in the "pecking order" so to speak.

No one has indicated that it was a first inteview.  What you've said makes sense, and McDermott could likely skew the meeting into an offer if terms were discussed.

I heard this alot during the football coach search about several potential hires like Venables.

In the end, I still had to google 'Ron Prince.'

I can't imagine it being much deeper than the first....  I mean, hell, UNI was playing on FRIDAY of last week.  So, assuming that he's getting the same 24-hour days that we all are, I can't see how he was working in the ISU gig AND ours both in three days.

My belief, based on what I've been told by folks much closer to the situation than we are, is that McDermott inquired about the position and he was interviewed by Krause, Fogler, and one other.
