McDermott indicates he is staying at Creighton

Creighton men's basketball coach Greg McDermott tweeted Thursday that he is staying with the Bluejays, meaning he will not accept an offer for the open head-coaching job at Ohio State.

I'm blessed and honored to be the coach at Creighton.....and am looking forward to many more great years in Omaha! #rolljays

Multiple sources told ESPN's Jeff Goodman that McDermott had been offered the Buckeyes job following a meeting Wednesday night.

McDermott, 52, has spent the past seven years in Omaha, Nebraska, where he has taken the Bluejays to the NCAA tournament four times.
