The Everlasting Craptastical Mystery Thread

[Smu18]

It's not a total rebuild, team won over 20 games 2 years ago and don lost them early in the season this year. Dallas and Texas in general has been looking for a reason to get behind program and a yu like buzz can generate that momentum....

My guess buzz salary is 2.75 a year for 8 years, but he actual pay will be more like 7-8 a year

Six days ago Shaka was on a plane to sign with Illinois.

Two days ago Brad Stevens was all inking the contract with Illinois.

Any big school has enough idiots to start rumors and bigger idiots to spread them. Relax.

[Hoopaloop]

Buzz has never done a rebuild. There is certainly no guarantee he will have success at a school that hasn't had any. It is not an exaggeration that Buzz did get the MU job handed to him on a silver platter.

Don't tell the posters here, they will feel insulted.  I agree with you, he won the lottery and got a great gig.  Ready made for success, but Lenny and others will tell you otherwise.

Here's where I disagree with you, however.  In 2008 Buzz won the lottery and the kids played very well for him. That led to him having more success by getting some good players to come to MU.

He doesn't have to prove himself at SMU.  He comes in with 4 NCAA appearances and two straight Sweet 16's, so the rebuild becomes a lot easier.

Ptm you are my guy....

Anytime you want club seats at moody let me know...

Shaka's boss wants him to stay....different situation.

Who is sheetcanning Buzz?  They are paying him $2.6 million per year.  Please Lord, I hope my employer treats me so poorly and sheetcans me.  No one is sheetcanning Buzz.

Wow, are you serious? Remember when Costanza was forced to enter his office through a vent at Playnow? Are you saying he wasn't being sheetcanned?

Fair enough. How 'bout, from his point of view, they all fell out of love?

That's quite a "guess." Easy to spend that when its not your money. Sure, Buzz could do it. But a lot of good coaches that "could" do it, aren't able to. Its very hard to rebuild that culture of a program again. It is not a press of the button, and Buzz owes Marquette a lot for that.

[Hoopaloop]

Buzz is being pushed aside.

Proof.  Making $2.6 million a year is not being pushed aside.  Having his balls squeezed to recruit some kids that will keep MU off the front pages for off the court issues is not being pushed aside.  If that is the case, then blame the players for getting in trouble repeatedly.  

[Dish]

If Buzz is that dumb to go to SMU, the ponies can have him. Seriously, this is the dumbest thread in the history of Scoop (and that is saying a lot).

How this thread got beyond 1 page is beyond me? SMU basketball is a joke, absolute joke.

[PonyFanz]

 When you come to Dallas for a game, we promise to show you plenty of hospitality.  Our arena should be ready just in time.  Pizza at Campisi's, burgers at Jacks, and Cheese Fries at Snuffers.

Then Buzz is a thin skinned SOB who better wise up to the world.

[Tugg Speedman]

I can tell you that June jones 2.5 mil a year salary is 25% of what he actually makes per year...SMU boosters have other ways to pay

So SMU boosters are paying Jones $10 million/year?  More than the Cowboys pay Jason Garrett?

Are they paying Jones more than Texas Pays Mack Brown and Nick Saban.

Wow ,men in basements in Dallas can tell good stories!

Do the Alumni know they paid $10 million to win the Compass bowl?  The men is basements in Alabama are LMFAO over you guys.  On second thought, maybe you should keep this too yourself.

[nyg]

No they won't.  Same reason Crean demanded 10 years on his contract.  You deal with the losses early on and absorb them knowing you will get beat early on but that there will be a turnaround eventually.  If Buzz went to SMU, they would do well, especially if they were willing to "let him run his program" the way he wanted to, or whatever language Guru used.  Let any kids in, don't worry about some of the other stuff.  He would do well and most certainly wouldn't be fired.

SMU was 4 and 12 in CUSA.  They will be lucky to win one game in the Big East.  SMU in all probability is done with recruiting for this year and it will take at least four to five years to be competitive.  This is a total overhaul of a program that is at the bottom of the barrel.  

SMU will not tolerate any "let any kids in", since they tried that in football and see how that worked.  

OK, maybe getting fired was too brutal, but this will not be an easy task for any coach at SMU.  

[Hoopaloop]

SMU trolls are having a field day with this thread.  So are a few MU fans.  Buzz isn't going anywhere.  If he is, then we hire someone else and Buzz will become just another liar and typical coach.  No different from the others.

[chren21]

Not buying it.  Where are the nearest feather free wings around here geesh.

Hilarious. Is the serenity now at the top cause of this thread?  (ive read most but not all, maybe mentioned already)

Live in dallas.. for 8 years... yawwwwwwwwwwn

However, Mickey-D's now sells (huge) $1 sweet teas.. conspiracy?  Could be!  Not like SMU hasn't ever gone under the table like that before

[4everwarriors]

Then Buzz is a thin skinned SOB who better wise up to the world.

To quote Charles Barkley, "I make 3 million bucks a year. I don't get embarrassed."

Such small thinking, maybe that's why buzz is leaving...we cut our coaches In a lot of oil gas, real estate, hedge funds we are involved in....

For that kind of money you can do better than Buzz.  You should be calling Bill Self or Roy Williams.

[Smu18]

He is right, with the buyout you guys should easily be able to hire a Wisconsin assistant, Oliver Purnell, or even Bruce weber...

Personally, I'm pretty sure IWB set this all up, hence my meltdown comment (back on page 2 or something).  Ah, I guess the off-season can't be all boring can it...

This. This. This.

The difference between the elite schools and the mid markets, those schools already have those guys on those deals...

You have to have some Milwaukee alumni who can hook these guys up...maybe a Racine Kringle big whig....
