Smokescreen....Greenberg isnt even #2...but he is #3

If it's a done deal, why do you need a smokescreen?

 An extra $150K, that's the big add in salary the almighty folks at SMU are ponying (get it) up?  That's not even a 6% bump.

It can't be the money that is moving. If he leaves it's all current relationships and situations at MU.

0 state income tax....but your right the money is just a small piece...

Talk to buzz... no reason he would be talking to us if he wasn't happy or didnt think it was a better opportunity to do what he wants to do...

If Buzz actually goes to SMU, what is the closest parallel to that type of move? Bill Freider leaving Michigan to take the Arizona State job (ASU was pretty bad then if I remember correctly)? I know SMU will be joining the Big East soon, but when is the last time a coach voluntarily left a school in a power conference (BE, B12, B1G, ACC, PAC12, SEC) to take a position at a mid major school (WAC, Horizon, MAC, CUSA, etc..)?

3 qwestions

1. SMU where are u getting ur info??

2.  Why would Buzz go to a vertable basketball wasteland??  When he has publicaaly stated he is humbled with the oportunity to coach at a national power?

3. Honestly, How many years do u think it will be until SMU wins 5 games in the BE??


For $150k which prolly does not cover his perks at MU he would relugate himself to a disaster of a program??  That isnt worth being sent to a basketball coaches version of hell

Oliver Purnell left Clemson for DePaul -  kinda close.

He won't come back because he'll be too busy laughing his ass off at this.  You do know that, right?  He's just riling these people up for his own amusement.

I'm laughing my ass off too.  He's trolling so damn hard, and some of the Scoopers are lapping that sh*t up.

Obvious troll is obvious.

He wasn't fired, but he could have been.  I don't think that many at Clemson were upset that he left.

Ah, I stand corrected. So that is probably the closest version of going from MU to SMU.
