Goodman's original tweet said he tried to get involved at Xavier too

When Buzz goes to Maryland we will finally get that matchup against him that we've been waiting for all these years.

Maryland plays the return game of the home and home at Fiserv next year.

Villanova needs to just hire Beard and leave Willard to his own demise.

When he's not strangling his fiancé, Beard is as good as any coach in college hoops IMO.

Would Izzo have hidden Chris Beard's allegations?

Oh no doubt.

[Warrior_2002]

I hear ya on the Beard allegations. But man there's gotta be someone else Villanova is interested in besides Willard. Is he that great? Did well at SH and Queen took him to the sweet 16 with some magic vs Colo St.

Is there any job that Buzz will be content with not get itch to bolt after 4-6 years? Seems there isn't.  Apparently going home means nothing to him either.

unnatural carnal knowledge buzz, really.

Rob Senderhoff wisely turned down Fordhman and will remain at Kent State, signing a six year deal. Not only is Fordham a dead end job they may not be in the A10 within five years

How bad is the Fordham job?  Supposedly Urgo was making in the very high 6 figures, nearing $1MM a year.  Senderhoff was around $300K and now his raise probably puts him near the top of the MAC which is $500-600K.  Sheesh.  So Fordham went to hire a low major West Coast guy with no East Coast connections save for a few years as a green low level assistant at Columbia.

unnatural carnal knowledge buzz, really. 

I don't like the way he left either, but the Buzz hate is approaching mid 2010 Crean levels.

We have a better coach and a strong program.  He was never gonna be a lifer here, even if we won a natty.  Let a neurotic weirdo go be weird elsewhere.  He's gonna be in at least 2 different jobs other than College Station by 2035.

Wow. Who would have thought that Xavier is a step up from Maryland. Will wonders ever cease?

Ole Miss/SEC...better gig than Nova? ...and Nova 'settles' for Willard, imo.

[StillWarriors]

The big question to me is why is he apparently chasing a job when there is no AD currently? That's messing with your happy before it even starts.

[The Sultan]

Yes. Villanova is better. Either they weren't interested or Beard is sticking around the south because that's where he is from.

[Warrior_2002]

Definitely would've taken Beard over Willard. But yeah maybe he prefers the south.

Comes with baggage too though.

I will say that I'm not sure about this hire. His best team at Maryland was this year, and they weren't exactly stellar. He was also OK at Seton Hall, but not great. Feels like a high floor, low ceiling guy.

[MuggsyB]

I would think Maryland goes after Beard.  I also don't see Buzz as a good fit at Maryland. 
 

[CountryRoads]

I don't care much for Willard. Think he's pretty overrated. Though, good optics for the big east to poach a coach from a coveted P4 job.

I don't know how you conclude he's overrated.  Look at Seton Hall before and after him.  He consistently had them in the upper half of the Big East. Then in just three years, he took Maryland to their highest success in 9 years. 

[MuggsyB]

Willard didn't advance in tbe tournament with the Hall but he had some really good teams there.  I'm not sure it's a home run hire but he's a pretty good coach.

[wadesworld]

Villanova just hired a guy who has been a P5 coach for 15 years and has been to 1 Sweet 16. They could've certainly done better.

[Warrior_2002]

Do we think this is a move to a basketball school from a Football/Basketball (realize Maryland is more bball) due to the upcoming revenue sharing and plans Maryland may have to put more to football?
