New article on Buzz and OU (don't read if you don't like rumors)

Chico's---Why would it be hard to go from Norman to Austin? Understand big rivals but would think it would make it even more exciting down the road.

If you know the Oklahoma/Texas rivalry it's just something that won't happen. If this was professional sports different story, but it's collegiate athletics.

Thanks Doris. So my suggestion of trying to get Bo Ryan if Buzz leaves probably is bad idea?

Goose, only if Bo wants to become a JUCO guy and do things the traditional way.

The article said Buzz played at Oklahoma City University. I'm pretty sure Buzz never played there, but he was an assistant there. Just a reason to possibly doubt his credibility.

There's no rumors there, just more wish listing.  And the "Buzz would be interested in Texas" thing could have been yanked from these boards.

Now unless you're referring to Brad Stevens, when Tom Crean leaves Indiana........

It's basically a guy writing an article based on crap everyone else has said. Since he's writing about this second/third/fourth string down the line, he's bound to get something wrong. This is the equivalent of me getting to write an article on "Who do I think OU is looking at". Buzz Williams you say? No sh!t!!

Exactly.  Nothing new here at all.  Just one hack's opinion of his top 4 choices he guesses may be at the top of the OU AD's list of candidates.  Meaningless.

No, he graduated from Oklahoma City.  Never played there.  Never coached there.

Can't say any of this bothers me. The writer doesn't seem to really have a good idea of what he's talking about. Of the four, I think only Tad Boyle is a real possibility, and even that to me seems unlikely with Colorado's move to the Pac-10.

Thanks for the correction.

MUMac

I wouldn't call it a rumor either.  He has nothing but his 4 preferences for the job.  He even admits he has no inside information.  Nothing really new or interesting in the column, either.

Lennys Tap

Love the speculation that Stevens and Mack might stay put because they like their jobs but Buzz would only stay to not screw up some other future opportunity to leave. These writers must think Marquette is one miserable job.

Goose

Lenny---That is correct. It pisses me off that Butler and Xavier get more national respect than we do.

That's why if they beat UNC on CBS in primetime Friday night it does wonders for MU on so many levels. A BIG if though.

Goose

Doris---Winning Friday would be a great start. I want to win this game more than any game in a long, long time.

Don't think Bo wants to give up that sweet UW pension...maybe MU Alum Scott Walker can help out there.   :D

Except that's not Brad Stevens dream job....unless he's lying...which I've come to the conclusion almost all these coaches are.

Yeah, I know me too. It would rank right up next to the Kentucky win in '03. Would me a monumental win in MU bball history.

$2.M in salary and $3.8 buy-out, that will not look to good at a public
institution!  Seriously, as much as I like Buzz, that is serious cash for
a third year coach.  For Buzz, rebuild a program, he would have a heart
attack.

When all these rumors of Buzz to jobs in the south first came out, i was extremely interested and concerned. Now though, i'm rumored out big time.

I'm just going to enjoy this great end of the season and not worrying anymore if Buzz stays or leaves, it's not like i have any control over it.

In the end, i'm thinking it's about 75/25 that Buzz stays, but if he does choose to leave because he wants to coach in the south, so be it even if i'll be bummed for awhile. Marquette will then have to make another good hire.
