Let's not forget how he bailed on UNO....

"I am extremely disappointed that Buzz Williams has decided to
resign," Miller said. "But it's his decision on what to do with his career, whatever the reasons. He has made giant strides at improving our program, for which we are grateful, and I pledge that those positive strides will continue with a new head coach."

Miller said a search will begin immediately.

Williams came to UNO after serving as an assistant coach for two
seasons at Texas A&M. Before that, he spent four years at Colorado
State, where he was associate head coach in 2003-04.

He also had previous assistant coaching jobs at Northwestern
State, Texas A&M-Kingsville and Texas-Arlington.

The Privateers have been out of their regular home stadium,
Lakefront Arena, since Hurricane Katrina, but are expected to move
back into the facility, which is seen as a key recruiting tool,
after renovations are complete in time for the 2008-09 season.

Buzz left because of fear not because MU messed with happy. He even said as much. In 2013, MU was doing great hit the Elite 8. In 2013-2014, the team collapsed. Internal strife amongst the players along with under performance and a team that didn’t meet expectations. Buzz looked at his 14-15 team and knew they were likely either taking another step back or marginally better since he was losing two of his leading scorers. His best player new player (Burton) had a foot out the door and he was expecting other transfers (STJr).  He was then looking at the Big East and as much as people wanted it to be good it was definitely taking a step back from its peak. He knew if he under performed in a watered down league his stock would plummet and most likely MU fans would turn on him after a few years. He jumped ship to Virginia Tech because the option was there, the ACC was the league, and there were limited expectations. He then was able to ride the turn around to a good team and get out before he experienced another dip. MU under Buzz in 14-15 would have been better than Wojo but still not great as Hill and Shayok took a little while to truly become become studs.  He was recruiting studs to play in the Big East. If recruits didn’t see the league with the same luster he was expecting to underperform.

All of this can be seen in this article.  Especially point two of the contract.

I think it'll be Texas whenever Shaka gets canned.

Yep, that's where the nice cowboys hats are in style.
