Garry Parrish says Buzz will take either OU or Ark job

Here's the interview Parrish did with an Arkansas radio station.

http://www.sportstalkwithbo.com/site/content/view/892/34/

It's about 13 minutes long. Worth a listen. Also, just looking around on that site I listened to their interview with Jimmy Dykes and he says Arkansas is way behind on having an adequate bball practice facillity. I was surprised about that.

Not buying it. I understand Arkansas has dumped each of their last two coaches after about 4 years.

I did not take Oklahoma long to dump Capel, two years after going to the elite 8.
I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind.

not to mention OU basketball's consistent issues with the NCAA

After listening to the interview, I thought Buzz openly stated he felt New Orleans did not offer enough support to the Basketball program and thats why he left?  Parrish made it seem like it was only the city that wasn't a good situation and the University had nothing to do with it. 

[Mu]EngiNerd

Wow... I wonder how all of this news will effect the players...

I just wonder if the players would ask him about this during the week, any thoughts?

He also said that the Cincy job would be a step up from MU, lost a ton of credibility with that comment

Shack

Even if Buzz doesn't take the Arkansas or OU job, the damage is done in terms of his longetivity at Marquette..imo.  Every year he will be rumored for the next "big" job that comes up, which I'm in the minority that believes this isn't a good thing for your program.  Negative recruiting, constant distractions, more painting Marquette as a stepping stone school not a destination job..etc.   This isn't about the success he had with Marquette that's making him attractive.  This is all about Buzz's reputation across the coaching circles.   Tough loss, would have liked to see him here for at least 8 years.

From ESPN

Jeff Goodman of FoxSports.com expects OU to take a hard look at Marquette's Buzz Williams (whose name has been mentioned in connection with the Arkansas and Texas Tech openings). However, we are hesitant about this name; Williams has the connections to Texas, Oklahoma and the rest of the southwest region but has made major headway at Marquette (and has a very strong recruiting class). Combined with the returning players, there seems to be a better chance that Williams stays in Milwaukee.

It is these guy's job to stir the pot and guess so that when gets it right, they get to say that they knew first.

He'll be staying.

GP and Goodman are Buzz's guys. This has some merit.

Unlike last time, I'm not too concerned if he leaves.

Wait, are you saying he is floating his name out to reporters....

goldeneagle91114

I'm new to the boards. I was just wondering if people get nervous every time a coaching job opens, or if i should be legitimately scared we will have yet another coach bail on us? There seems to be a lot of talk and i just want to know if this happens a lot.

jfmu

Is there any way MU restructures Buzz's contract after this season with a large buyout to help with the being called as the next coach a handful of times each year?

Wait, are you making another ad naseum statement to prove a point from some argument that has its roots back in the Commodore 64 era?

The way I look at it wither Buzz is a man of his words or he isn't. He said he would stay at MU as long as they want him. Which is either true or he is not a man of his word. The Newbill situation without knowing the real facts bothers me and is an indication he would back out of a commitment. I hope he stays, but if he does leaves than he is not the man I thought he was and my life will go on.

Seems like only at Marquette and a few others.  Very similar to what Tulsa went through a few years back and what Xavier goes through now.  Like I said once it's out there, your coach is gone maybe not this year or next..but it's coming. So I would be worried if you are a Buzz Williams fan.   Wish we could be like Villanova for a change.

Love the Commodore 64 reference.  We had one, actually had the VIC20 before that.

Just showing the double standards....and it was more like arguments made ad nauseum in the last few years and repeated as recently as this past week.

Again, I find it funny that the "douchebag" did this and was drilled for it, but apparently no big deal when someone else does.  Amazing double standards over the years on so many things.  Quite entertaining.

If a school such as OU or AR really wants a coach..they will most likely pay whatever the buyout clause is.. It certainly can run off some schools but not usually the big boys.

I think MU should be looking around for a potential replacement for Buzz, given all the buzz, pun intended re: his departure. This is not that important as MU will survive and most likely thrive if he departs. He is not even a proven commodity. Goodbye, adios, ciao baby, see ya

Shack

Once Travis Diener learns how to coach he can be our next Jim Boeheim. 

groove

Which current mu players and next years incoming new players will follow buzz when he leaves. What about the guys he is currently recruiting

JerryWizig

I'd be more worried about Buzz leaving for Arkansas than Oklahoma or Texas Tech. Arkansas is a good job. Some on this board may be too young to remember, but it was among the top programs in the country year in and year out in the early- to mid-90s. It's got a lot of fan support and plays in a big building.

I'm surprised they aren't pushing harder for Mike Anderson, though. Maybe he's come out and said he's staying put.

As long as MU is making the NCAA tournament every year, Buzz's name is going to be popping up for every coaching search, especially in the south. We should all get used to it.

Ah, well, then. Thanks for showing us the light.

Honestly, I don't believe Crean floated his name out there. He may have, but what would he gain, other than an offer. But, you don't gain offers from journalists. You do from schools and there are much more effective ways of letting your interest be known than floating your name out to Gary Parrish.

But, the difference between you and I, is that I upgraded to a Macintosh, and then to an IBM, then to a PC, where I was stuck for awhile, until I upgraded back to a Mac. Meanwhile, you keep harping about how cool the floopy disk drive is on the C64.

Give it up.

They are pushing hard for Mike Anderson, but there is a group of alums down there that are still very bitter about the Nolan Richardson saga.  Nolan suing the school, airing a lot of dirty laundry irked many Hog fans.  Anderson is considered to be loyal to Nolan in a number of circles, at least that's the feeling from some.  That could be a problem in him landing the job.

Nevertheless, no one is going to sign a coach while they are in the middle of the NCAA tournament, which Anderson and Buzz are.  This stuff will sort itself out as teams are eliminated.
