Creighton Secures Coach Greg McDermott with Long-Term Extension

The deal through the 2027-28 season underscores McDermott's successful tenure and his commitment to end his career at Creighton.

Creighton University has secured men's basketball coach Greg McDermott with a long-term contract extension, ensuring his leadership through the 2027-28 season.
McDermott, who has led Creighton to eight NCAA Tournament appearances, including an Elite Eight run last year, aims to finish his coaching career at the school.
Under McDermott's guidance, Creighton has achieved significant success, including a recent victory over No. 1-ranked UConn, and is projected as a 3-seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.
The extension makes McDermott one of the highest-paid coaches in the Big East, reflecting his impact on the program's success and stability.
McDermott's commitment to Creighton ends speculation of his departure, notably after being linked to the Ohio State vacancy last month.
