Guys,

If he goes to VA Tech nothing we can do about it. It means he does not want to be here and such is life. Going from MU to VT is more than messing with happy. Anyone can argue pro's and con's of VT but it is not a step up the bball chain by any stretch. If he bolts it means he wants out and not a career decision IMO.

VT can't pay Buzz.  VT just fired Johnson and he made $800k (which is close to what MU pays Chew).  Buzz currently makes $2.8M.  VT might go to $1.4M to $1.8M, they don't have the money to pay Buzz plus the buyout. (If they pay Buzz $3M then the football coach, baseball coach and everyone else wants a raise).

Remember that VT will pay former coaches Seth Greenberg and Johnson $1.4 million next year.  So they cannot shell out $4.2 $4.4 million for Bball.  That is more than Duke pays K.

Further Buzz starts over recruiting.  He does know that area and has no recruits from that area since Gardner.  So shell out close to $10 with pay, old coaches pay and buyout for the next few season as Buzz figures out who to recruit in that area of the country.  At least Bruce Pearl knows SEC country as he recruited it for Tenn.

Even Buzz knows he's screwed next year with DW at the point .

Sounds well and good but follow Occam's Razor in this case: the VTech AD just fired a guy after only two years who wasn't on probation and wasn't caught bedding his receptionist. Hokies don't need to do a search for candidates because they likely already have their next coach locked in.

Buzz' tenure at Marquette is over. And I'll bet much shorter than many here ever imagined.

Coaches of other MU programs were discussing Buzz to VT today.

Was also told MU wasn't going to even try and persuade him to stay.

Uhhhh..... what??

[nyg]

Guess that VT isn't that bad after all. The Bible Belt did it. Good luck.

[SWARM!]

He was not happy here. Question is why? The powers that be better have a legitimate explanation as to why. And if we hire Wardle as is rumored, I think a lot of us will lose our s***

[21Jumpstreet]

Maybe the act got tired.  Disappointed for sure, moreso as a sign where MU is at going forward.  Conference and leadership questions, is there much more that matters in the big leagues?  We have top money and facilities.  Need a good hire.

I'm not sure it's the powers that be that need to do the explaining...

[Skatastrophy]

 That's what happens in a mid-major conference.

[4everwarriors]

Guess we didn't want him any longer, hey? Just to get this out there, our new conference sucks sewer water.

Probably because he was given everything that he wanted here. He didn't like that kind of player, but that is what he became.

[brandx]

......that he was unable to compete in with a bunch of 3-star and 4-star guys.


.... that you can't win even though the other coaches in the league think you have the best talent.

[WarriorGreg1965]

Guess we didn't want him any longer, hey? Just to get this out there, our new conference sucks sewer water.

And that's why he wanted out.

Was told Buzz absolutely hated the new conference.

[SWARM!]

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

It's clear you're a fan bro, but don't talk stupid about stuff you know nothing about.

[Blackhat]

Brian Wardle??  Dude hasn't proven exceptional at either recruiting or coaching.

[SWARM!]

Not that it matters, but mayo ain't back next year. Print it.

[KipsBayEagle]

I'd take that manhattan coach in a heartbeat

[texaswarrior74]

If this is true, something is seriously wrong at MU because it makes absolutely no sense. There are far better jobs than VT out there right now.

VT is a perennial ACC bottom dweller...it's a football school with a really old, nasty arena and zero history for the program. When UVA and UNC play there they usually have more fans in the stands than VT does.

With the addition  of Cuse, Pitt and ND this year and Louisville next year, they will even be farther down the pecking order in the ACC.

Bennett has UVA relevant again and the elite recruits in VA will pick between UVA, UNC and dook like they always have and Shaka at VCU and U of Richmond get what's left.

Either Buzz was given a vote of no confidence or royally pissed someone off and wore out his welcome because this would be a really, really stupid move for any amount of money that VT could pay.

Has anyone ever seen Richard Shaw and Big Daddy on a message board AT THE SAME TIME!!??!!
