Coach Mac

[drbluejay]

Mac is no longer a top 20 or 30 head coach. He has moved up to being a top ten coach in the nation. I wouldn't trade him for anyone. His system fits Creighton perfectly.

I saw husker fans trying to bring light to a fictional “fire Mac” crowd to detract from the win yesterday on Twitter. Their obsession with Creighton is so strange.

This comment about power five stuck out to me. Rare that the label CU as power 5 job

Despite the extension, McDermott has been discussed as a potential candidate for the IU job, and for good reason. He’s consistently won at a power five job over the last 15 seasons.

There is absolutely no question Indiana and its fan base wants Mac, and would likely offer double his current salary. The question is whether Mac is interested in the job. Definitely one of the top jobs in the nation. Their fan base seems to be interested at this time to go all in, hiring a top coach and getting a lot of NIL money to fund a program back to national prominence year after year. This is surely the last top notch position opportunity for Mac if he is thinking of a new challenge. I don’t think he will leave, but this is such a weird new world of college basketball. If he resists this job, then he will for sure retire at CU. We should always be thankful that he is our coach as it is obvious he is very respected with a lot of fan bases across the country who wish he coached their team.

Can anyone name the last Indiana coach that wasn’t fired (or forced to resign)?
