Lost credibility when he said that one-year salary is the normal buyout of a bball head coach contract. 

[Clam Crowder]

Good. I am just posting what I see out there, and hope none of this comes to fruition. I really want Buzz to stay. Without him God knows how many would transfer or decommit. We need him here.

Fullodds beat me to it.

More speculation, bookmark it and make fun of them later.

There's also this I found on the OU board.

Marquette is bigger than any one coach.     










We NEED the MU administration to stay motivated and sharp.

Same writer wrote a column last week saying OU should hire Buzz.
He lost me here:
"People who downgrade the appeal of his defensive-minded style are missing the point."
Buzz coaches a defensive-minded style? News to us.

Maybe...then again, the rumors in this article are pretty strong about mutual interest.  Either someone is lying or their is truthiness to it.

[Clam Crowder]

Yeah that writer even according to the next post on that board is just trying to sell papers...I wasn't a big time follower of Marquette basketball when the Crean stuff hit the fan. Was it the same rumors going around?

That's something I don't see Buzz doing. Telling other coaches he's interested in a job? Come on.

[downtown85]

I think this a lot of "he said she said."  I think Buzz is a stand up guy.  I don't think anyone knows the true level of interest in the job from his side except him and maybe his wife. He doesn't have an agent.  I think he would not tell anyone his level of interest before this season is over as it would be extremely counterproductive.  It doesn't make sense.

[Shack]

They seem pretty short sighted on Texas being the be all, end all of basketball recruiting.  Not to mention OU will always be behind Kansas and Texas in the pecking order.  

I want next year's coach, hopefully Buzz, to believe Marquette is second to none.  Bottom line.

I believe the new terminology is "he say she say."  Regardless, I have a source on the inside that says it is overdone.

[Clam Crowder]

I just want this all to stop honestly. It is overshadowing my excitement for the game tomorrow. I find myself looking for info on Buzz rather than looking at people's opinions on the game. Tomorrow I will still be watching with everything I have, but I just wanna see Buzz signing a new contract, and being here for a long time. All this speculation, and fear about him leaving needs to end

[Goose]

Hope it is wrong. Must admit I am worried.

[ChicosBailBonds]

None of us know.  None of us know what Buzz would do.  None of us know if Buzz "is that kind of guy".  All speculation on our part, the writers part, everyone.  None of us know.

This happens every year with every coaching search at every school.  Fans saying "he wouldn't do that'..."he's not that kind of guy"..."he's loyal"...blah blah.   No one knows and the fan reactions are the same everywhere.

We'll know when we know but saying what someone would do nor not do is just a guess.

Go Warriors!

Agreed, but we need our Mark Few, Jay Wright that will stay long term. Constantly having coaches change will eventually get to us.

HEY... who the heck are you, and what have you done with the real Chicos?

[Goose]

Chico's----Agreed on GO WARRIORS!!

[Niv Berkowitz]

People...just go back three months ago. EVERYONE at the four letter network said it was a done deal. That Harbaugh was going to Michigan. (yes, I know he left...just saying that people who "know" don't know until they really know).

[downtown85]

Chicos, of course, are correct.    This is definitely a known unknown, even though I would like to believe otherwise.    (Am I starting to sound like Donald Rumsfeld?)

Now lets kick some UNC butt!  GO WARRIORS!!!

[MUfan12]

Guys, kick back and enjoy the run.

Based on what I have heard, I am very confident that Buzz will stay.

[mikem91288]

God I hope the boys aren't on Scoop out in Newark.

[Goose]

Niv--You are correct media types make errors quite frequently in cases like this. I just hope we do not have a Harbaugh case that only the location is incorrect.
If Buzz were to leave MU administration has to look into the mirror and ask themselves in spite of outspending everyone why do we lose guys? Trust me it is not the weather or poor recruiting options in Milwaukee area.

[GGGG]

You don't know.  You have no idea what he might be saying to his old boss.

There is a lot of smoke...lots of smoke...if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.  The good news is that we might see less TC threads.
