Hiroshima?

[MUfan12]

He's gone. It sounds like a done deal. Don't crucify me- just telling what I know.

I won't crucify you... but with less than 100 posts, and no specifics, be ready for it.

It wouldn't surprise me if you're right, btw.

[Aughnanure]

You are correct the pressure is not high here. That's the thing, Buzz seemed to be a little thin-skinned this year for the little amount of pressure he received.

When did this happen?

Politely disgaree on Buzz being gone.

[SWARM!]

I get it. Just giving the obligatory "don't shoot the messenger."

Been a fan since birth and have been going to games since '85.  I'm not happy about it but I want to shift the focus quickly onto where the athletic department goes from here.

This is the point where I ignore scoop for the next few days to avoid the madness you just started.

Is he taking Derrick and Juan with him???

So can we crucify you when Buzz is still the coach next fall?  

I really hate the clowns that come on here and do this every year.  At some point I'll be smart enough to just ignore this board from the end of the season until September.  

And where exactly do you think Buzz is going?  Dont tell me VT! hahahahahaha

This Buzz crap year after year is getting very tiresome. I love Buzz and hope he stays here for a very long time. That being said, if he wants to go more power to ya. He does everyone who is at Marquette and Marquette fans a big disservice every offseason, as he never reaffirms his commitment to MU. Despite all the good ol country boy charm, I think Buzz has a huge ego and enjoys people talking about him. It kind of reminds me of Favre in his early days with the awe shucks and what not...We saw how that turned out lol. Now I think Buzz is ten times the human being Favre is, I just think the good ol country boy act isn't as genuine as it used to be. Buzz if you want to stay at MU, just say you aren't going anywhere so we don't have to deal with this bs every year.

All you need to do is quit reading this board. That's where the speculation is. What commitment do you think he needs to re-affirm? He has already done so. Does he need to do it at least once a month so people here can sleep at night.

Maybe you expect him to write a letter to every school pre-emptively asking them not to contact him if they fire their coach? We'd still have people whining here that he only wrote the letter once. Why can't he write it every year? And why doesn't he send all of the Scoopers a letter promising to stay?

This stuff gets sillier every year.

How about everyone on Scoop post a written promise that they are going to stay at their current job no matter what happens in their life? That is basically what people here want.

I think Howland would be a good fit for both Wake and VTech

[keefe]

I'm not sure why people in this thread are so dismissive of Buzz leaving Marquette. Given his job history, he likely had itchy feet two years ago.

Tech is a dumpster fire of a program but has a beautiful campus and is southern manners by nature (well, other then Cho). Plus, they'll be buried in the ACC for the near future and could provide Buzz with the no pressure, low expectations employment he seems to crave.

Not sure this characterizes Buzz Williams' personality or motivations

[keefe]

Plus, there's so many high major recruits comin' outta Virginia, hey?

Okay then where's Buzz going to? VaTech? I don't buy that one.

He hasn't reaffirmed anything in years...far from it. If he was happy here, he wouldn't be named on every list for potential job openings. I clearly don't expect him to state his love for his job monthly. How about a "we had a disappointing year and I can't wait to get this team back on track next year." We had a dismal year and he's nowhere to be found except for being mentioned in every job that becomes open. Do you ever hear Jay Wright being mentioned at these type of schools? Why do you think that is? Because he's committed to Villanova and everyone knows it.

I love Buzz as much as the next guy but I cannot figure out his motivations. Obviously he is smart, clever guy and says mostly the right things. Though I never 100% bought into with the messing with happy or I'll stay here as long as they want me. Mainly because messing with happy is easy way out if a guy chose that route. How can anyone ever dispute another person's happiness?

Have said it many times but he came a hayseed (in good way) and transitioned to Gucci's quite easily. Motivation changes throughout a lifetime and I think trying to figure Buzz out is more complex than figuring out the average guy.

[Blackhat]

He must really want out if he's already a done deal to Virginia Tech.    Pass up the other jobs for Va Tech?

[keefe]

Are Greenberg's daughters still at Virginia Tech? That could be the decidin' factor, aina?
Pagin' Crash to chime in.

I heard that Seth has sired quite a clutch, each of whom is eligible for Israeli citizenship.

How about he's doing that already? So are you also saying that Shaka Smart is trying to move on from VCU just cuz other schools want him? That is the nature of the business. If you are an AD and don't check in with guys like Shaka or Buzz, then you aren't doing your job.

But I'm guessing next week, Buzz will be leaving for SMU

[tower912]

Hunt is now reporting that Buzz is leaving for UCLA.

where are you seeing this? Its not on jsonline

[tower912]

Sorry, that was a joke.   The UCLA job was filled a year ago by Alford.   Referring both to the insanity of the rumors and Hunt's legendary accuracy and timeliness.   

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

So how long until the coaching carousel closes and we can forget all this nonsense?

[lurch91]

For that, you deserve to stay with your sister and her Dayton Flyer friends for the weekend!  I can only imagine how they would ask you how Marquette lost to tOSU?

[MileHigh]

If Buzz leaves...unfortunate.  Maybe we go after a Big Ten or ACC coach and woo one of their own.  Teach them a lesson.

Hell yeah, go after Doc Rivers.  But we need 7 million at least.

I saw that Jeff Bzdelik resigned from Wake Forest this afternoon.

He was a terrible hire from the beginning.  The student response:
