2019 Coaching Carousel

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

I would be surprised if Buzz left VT.  There's no drama there right now and he is beloved to a level that one would argue is better than the current football head coach (obviously not Beamer).  He got carte blanche in his contract deal (the same rollover clause - always under a five-year deal), and has been given all the resources he has asked for in order to be successful.  He has elevated VT Basketball to the top level of the ACC - and, soon, Boeheim, Coach K and Roy Williams will all be stepping down, allowing him to be at the very top of the coaching ranks within, arguably, the best basketball conference in the country. 

What, exactly, would A&M be able to offer Buzz that VT isn't already providing him?  Buzz can essentially leave VT in a place where he is the face and recognized as the best coach in program history (where at a place at Marquette, you joined by a collection of outstanding coaches).  Unless the offer him a Jimbo Fisher-sized deal, I guess I just don't see the attraction through his lens.

By top level of the ACC, do u mean 6th place?

Same exact garbage. Gonna leave VaTech with absolutely nothing for the next few years.

It would not surprise me if Stan was a finalist for this job.

If I were Stan, I'd be waiting for something better than Bozeman, Montana.

Like where? Conferences like the Big Sky are where most new coaches get their start.

So, earlier I caught up on this board and was curious what I might find on VT's board regarding Buzz.  I am glad I was not drinking coffee when I read this post about who might replace Buzz......

Will A&M use Scott Monarch's picture on their website too?

That photo mishap was the source of my sig. Maybe it's time I updated it?

Last year you said the same for any medium sized school for Stan.  We get it and see how this year goes. 
Stan, if he even is looking for such a job, would do much better than a Montana State.

Another school that might take a run at some of our assistants.

I say Buzz is gone. It is always job security, at more money, being brought in to save the day. Guys on here will long to give Wojo five plus years to get things rolling. Buzz would three year no pressure window at A&M.

[NickelDimer]

Of course he's gone. VT was never anything more than a pit stop on the way to his destination job

I think Buzz has two more jobs in him, barring no trouble with NCAA. He will land a couple of big, big scores before he is done.

Agreed. A nice extended run at A&M with an eye on UK

That board looks identical to ours circa 2014.

"They can't afford him"

"Why would he go to a football school?"

"He said he wants to build a program here"

Almost feel sorry for VT

I don't know how old Buzz kids are now. My sense is that he and the missus would like a nice 6 year contract that would be able to keep the family in one place through the high school years. Tech would probably give him the years but I am sure TAMU could match and probably offer more coin if necessary.  Buzz is very good at extracting top terms and dollars.

It is the big leagues. Guys chase money these days. I am big Buzz guy, but he was gone from MU well before he was gone. I never fault a guy for chasing money.

[LAZER]

Will Jimbo's contract affect the basketball hire or does that not even matter?

You win the gif of the day award.  Well done.

Wonder if his Blacksburg house is just as classy as his Milwaukee one was?
