Who would replace Bill Self at Kansas?

[MARQKC]

Here's one guy's opinion:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1730473-where-would-kansas-jayhawks-turn-for-head-coach-if-bill-self-bolted-for-nba

We need to get used to stories like this. For all the reasons in the article, reports, rumors and "insiders say" speculations next March are going to be hell, especially if we do anything respectable in the conference, which we probably will. Every opening in a top 25 program will have Buzz at the top of the list.

[KenoshaWarrior]

WOW  not even mid April and your starting this?

[MU82]

Yeah, but at least he started it with a link to the ever-reliable Bleacher Report.

[jficke13]

Yeah, but at least he started it with a link to the ever-reliable Bleacher Report.

Seriously: Do not link, mention, tweet, follow, or even click anything that disaster posts. If everyone starves it, then perhaps it might die.

WTF?!?  SON OF A MOTHER CITIZEN BROWN BAG?!?! @#@$%

Why the hell is Buzz still listed on these things.  This article makes me mad!  (I know, it's BR, but still makes me mad that the perception is that we are some feeder school).

Will it take Buzz turning down every single one of the six blue bloods for people to realize this?  One down (UCLA), five to go.

It's been about a month since we've seen a "Buzz to ____________" post. Thanks for breaking that dry spell.

Well done

[Aughnanure]

Mark Turgeon would come running home.

But Self ain't leaving anytime soon.

[Warriors10]

People on Scoop still click on links that go to Bleacher Report...

Buzz turned down UCLA?

[4everwarriors]

Kinda like Coach Clover turned down Illinois.

[madtownwarrior]

If you don't think Buzz would leave for one of the Bluebloods, then I would like to sell you some land in FL or a bridge in Brooklyn...

If you see 'Begin Slideshow" on any article you may be taking serious, just close the window.

+1.

Don't read it.

Don't link to it.

Ignore it completely.

He's need to turn us into a blue blood equivelant soon but it's possible Jim Calhoun and Billy Donovan never left their places which are modern blue blood equivalents

I think we should lobby Rocky and Spiral to create an auto-correct  .. bleacherreport.com -> terriblewebsite.com

Please do. I'll even start a Kickstarter campaign.

[ChicosBailBonds]

There are some legitimate sportswriters now on Bleacher, problem is they have a bunch that aren't, but they are thinning some of those guys out.  Some guys are now writing for Bleacher while also writing for major sports publications.

Buzz to Kansas!

We are a feeder school for Blue Bloods. We may not like it but there are at least 15 or so jobs that are more desirable than Marquette. Kansas, definitely one of them. I'm not saying that anytime a blue blood comes calling a coach will leave, but we shouldn't take it as a slight (Buzz to SMU though...that was a slight). Coaching is an occupation and any one of us would jump at the chance to work for a more prestigious company in our respective fields if the conditions were right.

Buzz has been one of the winningest coaches of the past five years. He is ALWAYS going to be at the center of the coaching carousel rumors. From now until the day he either retires or accepts a job at a blue blood institution. Might as well get used to it. I'm not saying he will leave (there's more to coaching than your school's prestige) but people will always wonder.

[ResidentBrown]

I think we are on the cusp of being prestigious enough to hang on to a coach like Buzz. With a few big years, we could at least reach the level of Georgetown, or maybe even Syracuse, Arizona. Not "blue blood", but on the next tier. Georgetown isn't considered a blue blood by anyone, but their fans aren't having anxiety attacks around the clock about GTIII being hired away from them (although the legacy might have something to do with that too).

We need to get used to stories like this.

Where have you been the past 5 years? When writers were saying Buzz was leaving for Alabama, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Maryland, SMU, UCLA, and Illinois, where were you? For this to remotely be news, it would have to be new. At best, this is olds. We've been down this road before and will continue to go down it until Buzz either leaves, retires, or turns down enough blue bloods (say KU, UK, and Duke) to convince writers he's really not going anywhere.

I'll refrain from piling on the sheer idiocy of posting anything from bleacherreport as though it's worth reading, since everyone else beat me to that punch.

I think it has everything to do with that.

If Buzz left Marquette Bill Self would be my first call, then Brad Autry.

If the title is something like "hottest cheerleaders in the SEC", I usually click through.
