Greg McDermott Offered Ohio State Head Basketball Coaching Job

The search is on for the Ohio State University and their next head basketball coach.

Earlier today, reports surfaced that perhaps Chicago Bulls Head Coach Fred Hoiberg could be filling the Buckeyes’ vacancy. Well, someone affiliated with the Bulls might be taking the job, just not Hoiberg.

That would be Greg McDermott, Creighton Head Coach and son of Bulls Small Forward Doug McDermott. According to Jeff Goodman, McDermott met with Ohio State today in regards to the job opening.
