Buzz is doing a great job making Cords job harder

[79Warrior]

Inadvertently or not, he is taking us down every time he answers the "why did you leave question" Just decline to answer and move on.

Every time this dude gets on TV or radio, he is reaming the conference, the coverage on Fox, etc. Just STFU.

Saying Marquette is a "great institution" then turning around and questioning the strength of the conference is undermining the school that gave him a HUGE break.

[Cooby Snacks]

Yeah he's being a real dickbag these days. Funny how this league isn't good enough for him, seeing as he could only go .500 with a roster including a 6th year senior, the reigning 6th man of the year, and 6 consensus top 100 recruits.

Hope the slurpers are still reminiscing about the ol Buzzster.

not

Is that his concern any longer?  He's answering the question as he should (and as any of us would) and talking up his new gig.

With the realignment, the ACC is a basketball powerhouse.  Any potential coach knows that the MU job isn't what it was 3 years ago.  It's still a good job, but Buzz talking about the reality of the conference isn't something he should be faulted for.  There's plenty to knock Buzz for but I don't see this as being one of them.

Show a little class on your way out the door.

OK, this board knows I'm not one to defend Buzz (TAMU and Sultan where are you?), as I was very critical of him throughout the season.  I just don't see the logic here.  Has he said anything other than how great his time spent at MU was in a public setting?  I haven't heard him take one swipe at the school.

Explaining your desire to coach in the ACC because the Big East is not the same conference as it was prior is 100% factual.  Denying it doesn't make it less true.

[TheBurrEffect]

I wasn't aware telling the truth was frowned upon. Just because he left like a douche doesn't mean what he says isn't true. The Big East is horridly weak and the fox sports 1 ratings this year were on par with reruns at 3am on 24. Why they didn't bring cinci, and uconn along no one will ever know.

because Cincy and UConn are football schools.

Ummmm, because both have football???

[chapman]

Whether he's completely veiled it or not, let's be real, Brent doesn't wish MU all the best.  Crean did, KO didn't give a [KO expletive] either way.

[TheBurrEffect]

Because that would be the 1st time ever that a school would have football in one conference and basketball in another?

[MattyWarrior]

Buzz loves him certain sportscasters that throw him softballs as questions. He'll take assistants,players and is 10 mill. or
more richer than whence he came here. I thought his family loved it here and he lived like a king..Call me dumbfounded.

[GooooMarquette]

All the more reason we need to hire Howland NOW...so he can get on TV while the tournament is still going on, and get some free PR of our own.

Or we could sit on our hands a couple more weeks.  I'm sure recruits don't watch the NCAA tournament anyhow....

Yeah certain is the key word here. He lost his mind when asked how he keeps the team focused during a winning streak.

[avid1010]

buzz isn't saying anything every d1 coach in the nation wouldn't think through when considering the mu job.  they'll also consider buzz, the inside word on why he really left, etc.

Don't worry.

He's doing himself a disservice questioning the strength of the conference that his team was projected to win in the preseason but struggled to even finish .500...

And miss the post-season...

And endure ridicule for not playing his talented freshmen more...

Which resulted in BOOs at the Bradley...

Which hurt his feelings and contributed to him leaving Milwaukee.

[keefe]

because Cincy and UConn are football schools.

Not sure that's how I would have worded that...

BTW, aren't you the guy who wrote sports for the Daily News?

The reason you don't know is answered by your horridly weak assessment of BEast and Fox Sports. Fox Sports has not claimed to be ESPN through Ocho. That takes time.

Yes, sir, I am.

[keefe]

Yes, sir, I am.

I thought so. We traded emails about 10 years ago. I believe you wrote me your wife lost some people in one of the Towers. Happy to report she got some payback.

Agreed. At some point everyone should realize MU is not a destination job. It is absolutely a great job, great program, but for quality coaches......there will always be better jobs.  Some of the angst comes from the fact that he left for a conference and not a program as Crean did.

Destination job is in the eye of the beholder.  Is Gonzaga a destination job? Apparently it is to Mark Few. Wisconsin? How about all the schools that were not destination jobs until a certain coach made them that way,
