Creighton's McDermott might be available --

CU has a coach in waiting in former player, CU assistant, and then High Point head coach (he didn't coach them this year but got them to the NCAA tournament both years he was at High Point) Al Huss.

Creighton had a bad year this year but made the NCAA tournament the prior 5 years, losing once in the round of 32, three Sweet 16 showings, and one Elite Eight.

There's some suggestion that McDermott and the new (as of four or so years ago) A.D. don't get along and Mac wouldn't be the only CU coach.

He's 61 and might not want to quit coaching, unless he gets a cushy studio analyst job. He has definitely succeeded in the NIL/portal era. He has won in what has generally been a very tough Big East so he's not a mid-major flash in the pan.
