McDermott tweets he's staying at Creighton amid Ohio State reports
Ohio State will have to look beyond Omaha, Neb., for its next head coach, as Creighton's Greg McDermott tweeted Thursday he has no intention of leaving the Bluejays.
I'm blessed and honored to be the coach at Creighton.....and am looking forward to many more great years in Omaha! #rolljays

Reports surfaced Wednesday night that Ohio State had offered the 52-year-old McDermott the job.
Other potential candidates who've rejected interest from the Buckeyes include Fred Hoiberg of the Chicago Bulls and Xavier's Chris Mack.
Multiple reports have suggested the Buckeyes are interested in Golden State Warriors assistant Mike Brown, but the program has yet to contact the Columbus native and former Cleveland Cavaliers frontman, sources told Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.
Ohio State parted ways with Thad Matta on June 5 following a 13-year tenure.
