Buzz to Penn State?

[Pakuni]

After all, he's got recruiting connections in Pennsylvania (Newbill, Roseboro).

Why on earth is that guy leaving his alma mater to go to Navy? 

[Mr. Nielsen]

He has done the most at Penn State. You can't win there.

Get out when the going is good.

And he can win at Navy? Something tells me David Robinson isn't walking through that door any time soon...

I wonder if this puts Juwan Staten back in play.  He transferred from Dayton to Penn State...maybe he'd want to bail after that.

And according to this article, he turned down another mid-major job earlier this year for more money (Bradley?) because his agent thought he could get a high-major job.  (So much for agents.)  So he is taking a pay-cut and stepping down the ladder because of security.

This.

Maybe it's not all about winning for him. He's a 50something guy who's spent nearly a decade trying to do the impossible, i.e win consistently at Penn State. Could be he just decided to take a step back into a less stressful environment for the stretch run of his career. There's much worse places one could end up than Annapolis.

[Dawson Rental]

By leaving now, he kind of sticks it to Penn State which might be a plus for him after their vote of no confidence in him.

[Mr. Nielsen]

I don't know if he can win at Navy.
They won't kick him out the door at Navy, like they were going to do at Penn State. His seat was getting hot at Penn State 3 years ago.

According to ESPN he was told before the season that if he didn't make the NCAA in 2010/2011 he would be fired.

When he made the tourny he assumed an extension would be forthcoming.

It wasn't.

He saw the handwriting on the wall and took the Navy job(and a 200k salary cut).

[GoMarquette32]

any chance we get one of their seven footers?

Show me another coach who wins scoring 36 points. 

[Lennys Tap]

The guy was 4-0 against TC's Hoosiers in Indiana (2-0 in Bloomington,    2-0 in Indianapolis). Should have been worth an extension and a banner.

If Buzz is leaving or checking out other schools, get a BIG NAME, one who can recruit and coach. Basketball makes the money for all other sports at MU. Administration get off your boney a-- and get a coach. Send Buzz on his way. Why was MU not getting any BIGS with credentials. Something is wrong somewhere in the Ath. Dept. I think we have great facilities. Or is it Milwaukee.
I don't expect anymore significant signings this year or next at MU. Quit playing games.
FRUSTRATED with you to Cottingham. We need to re ?-(load. WE ARE MARQUETTE!!!!!!!!!

Great move to go to Annapolis.  One of the more beautiful spots in America,  solid paycheck, superb facilities, only pressure is "Beat Army."

He's going to be the #2 paycheck in the athletic dept, and can retire out of that job, in a very great place to live.  I just don't see the downside for DeChellis. (unless he has a dream of winning the NCAAs, of course).

So it was the crack?

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

SORRY ZIGGY, BUT I ONLY HAD ONE PEPSI

I don't think I'd admit that in this case

[APieperFan3]

SORRY ZIGGY, BUT I ONLY HAD ONE PEPSI

obviously a Pepsi MAX

(btw, miserable post)

[brewcity77]

SORRY ZIGGY, BUT I ONLY HAD ONE PEPSI

It's okay dude, I remember my first Pepsi.

[Pakuni]

SORRY ZIGGY, BUT I ONLY HAD ONE PEPSI

All I wanted was a Pepsi. Just one Pepsi. And she wouldn't give it to me.

Agree with this.  Why butt heads in Big 10/11/12 when PSU will always be an outlier interms of basketball.  Nebraska will have the same fate in the future in basketball.
