A story was recently released on The Athletic about Buzz. Here is a piece from the story that stuck out to me:
“He’s not too keen on hearing the assessment and criticisms of others. He has two canvases that will hang in his office. One is a collection of tweets from media and fans criticizing his jump from Marquette to Virginia Tech, and the other is a collection of tweets questioning the jump from Tech to Texas A&M.”
The guy can coach, but what a nut job. Wonder if any posts from here will make the canvas.

Gotta keep that chip on the shoulder. Need that perception of disrespect.

What would Todd Mayo say
-
The coaching version of KD hey?
-
Can’t be many tweets on the board questioning the move from Tech to A&M. That seemed like a no brainer.
Unless they were just noting how he can’t stay in one place which is true to this point.

TAMU Eagle can we get some pics of this?

He blocked me on Twitter after I asked him where I could find his game against UVA this past season (top 10 matchup at the time). It was on the ACC network.

This is a great microcosm of Buzz. Not for the motivational bulletin board, but for the inability to distinguish between the reason for the criticism, and just cobbling it all together as a "me vs everyone" thing. If the tweets were about his inability to coach, or disrespecting him as a man, or his ability to connect to with recruits, or something that motivates how he carries himself that day when he looks at the board? Great, that makes sense. He's gonna get out there and prove them wrong by doing a hell of a job at those things - they fuel the fire.
But a collection of tweets criticizing how he leaves programs? What does that motivate him to do? "I'll show the haters, wait till they see me leave A&M!" This isn't motivation to be the best you can be, its borderline paranoid. At best, it makes him withdraw. "They don't know my reasons, I just gotta double, then triple down on why I did those things." Its not motivation to prove the haters wrong, its motivation to remember that everyone is out to get you.

Just a very bizarre thing to have on his office wall. Every time a recruit and their family steps in, they get reminded that the coach recruiting them doesn't stay put. Alas, he is a very bizarre man.

You can't say that unless you know the actual tweets on the canvas, though.

Side business?

The little guy who is continually disrespected is Buzz's MO. It is how he motivates himself and his teams.
It is obviously purely an invented myth. But whatever works to motivate him and his teams. It clearly does help him.

The rumor out there is that Buzzs office wall is splattered with Texas bull chips
