Buzz Williams to A&M

[longislandcuse]

Sounds like everyone, including Tech fans, view this as inevitable.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Va tech better pony up and do it quickly.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Adios VT.

Any chance JW reaches out privately?

Dunno, I’ll check my inbox.

To who????

 

[SBU72]

And what is the buy out from his current contract?

is this a serious question? We are going to pay Buzz 3.5 million? Nice coach but a little short on actual accomplishments.

What?

He's the basketball coach. VPI can't/won't come up with enough money to keep him.

And what is the buy out from his current contract?

Doesn't matter. If aTm wants him bad enough, there'll be plenty of deep-enough pockets to come up with the money.

Just asking as it adds to the cost of the contract

It's really not a consideration for them like it would be for another school.

SEC not playing games anymore when it comes to CBB.

Moving to College Station in Aug. Kind of excited about this. Between him and Jimbo I might have some good, local entertainment.

Give the options in cstat l they might be your only options.

Buzz is losing too many players to want to stay at VT. He sees the cupboard a little bare next year. You could see this coming from a mile away.

Could be. I would guess that the $$$ is THE reason why he would leave.

Great coach - I would take him here in a heartbeat.

Would obviously never happen.

Personally I think our future would be brighter if it did though.

Only for 18 months, managed 25 years in WNY/CNY.

This board overrates Buzz tremendously. This year was the best team he’s ever had.

Also took Marquette to the E8 in '13

Anyone who can make VPI respectable is a hell of a coach.

But I'd also put Chris Beard up there. Probably had accomplished a little more than buzz.

Wonder why aTm isn't going all out for that guy. He's already proved it in Texas.

I remember. We destroyed them.

Buzz is a Texas guy first and foremost. Grew up there.

Not disagreeing with your main point but the marquette team with crowder and DJO was pretty great

 

[kidorange]

Can't believe the Buzz love around here. Am I the only one who can't stand his sideline antics, personality and the way he looks? Hope like hell he's out of the ACC.
