Otzelberger would be a home run hire for Milwaukee.

Not sure after Bruce Pearl they would hire a guy from Iowa State. Pretty shady program.

[Dawson Rental]

We could make some good money if Oklahoma State was willing to open the pocketbook and buy out Wojo's deal.

We'd just have to live with recruiting falling apart for the second time in three years.

TJO is great for Wisconsin recruits. Thomas, Burton, McKay were all on his watch.

A school with violations over the years, all kinds of wink wink, nudge nudge on the side....a dream job for Buzz.   Maybe some of the Just Win Baby fans here could migrate over and become Louisville fans.

Loserville would never hire Buzz. They would go for a bigger name. That school is a top 20 job, easily.

All I know is I'm really gonna miss VCU Insider at this time of year.

Sultan is the author.

Crean sucks

[Pakuni]

Hard to imagine the Illinois job won't be open soon. Underperforming, and now the third player arrest since February (and fourth since August). Also, a new AD.

Not just top 20. I would put it top 5.

I would knock it down a few points for its reputation as a squirmy program.

I'd agree, but for many out there, that raises it a few points.

Sadly, "squirmy" is the new "in favor". Syracuse, after all their ongoing stench, gets in the dance, "U"NC gets a couple home games and a 1 seed just a couple years post educational-Armageddon, and Cal gets a 4seed  with that sexual harassment cloud over its head.

Sadly, THIS.

My bad. I meant top 10. Finger too big for smart phone keyboard.

I guess that would depend on the coach.  I can't picture Wojo going to a squirmy program unless it was clear that the PTB were hiring him specifically to clean things up.

Buzz to Okie State....book it.

I agree:
OSU, no. 1
maaaayybbeee TCU no 2

 The Pickens $$ has built palatial facilities, OK's success this year will irritate the rabidly rival OSU folks to push for something dramatic...and OSU brings him back to home turf recruiting, especially Dallas and Houston.

TCU lines up on most of these points, but at much lesser level, including money and facilities

It would be an interesting comparison and might show whether he preferred the private vs. public atmosphere based on his time here and at VT.

[GoldenWarrior11]

Buzz ain't leaving VT after two years.  He's crazy not stupid.  I'm sure all of his research shows the success of college head coaches that bolt a new P5 job 24 months after accepting it. 

The only exception to that rule would be Bob Huggins - who left K-State after a single season for his alma mater.

Buzz has the potential to turn VT into a top ACC basketball program, especially once Coach K, Pitino, Boeheim and Williams retire/leave.  That day, especially for Pitino, is quickly approaching.

You really bought that whole "research" and "analysis" spiel?

I seriously doubt Buzz will be at VT long enough for all of those to hang it up, besides that still leaves Bennett, Larranaga, Brey and maybe Dixon

[4everwarriors]

Boone got no money left, hey?

[drewm88]

Larranaga is 66 himself, so he belongs in the first category.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Larranaga is 66 himself, so he belongs in the first category.

but if he coaches 3-4 more years he will likely outlast Buzz at VT, he might even do that if he stays until Easter

Oh please. If offered, he leaves. All he has to do is lay on the "I had no plans to leave VT, but when my dream job opened up..."

I would put Buzz staying at VT but getting more money as #1. Buzz pulled this with Marquette every year. Float his name out there to open jobs and us it as leverage for more money.
