WASHINGTON — Buzz Williams will be the next head coach at Texas A&M after his Virginia Tech team lost here in the Sweet 16 to Duke on Friday night, multiple sources said.

“That’s done,” one source said before Duke edged out Virginia Tech, 75-73, to advance to the Elite Eight.

Williams, 46, is a Greenville, Texas native and former A&M assistant under Billy Gillispie from 2004-06.

“He’s a Texas guy, he will make a gazillion dollars there and, of course, the state is loaded with players,” a second source said.

That just doesn’t scream homerun to me. Time may prove me wrong but i expect more out of them with all the money they have. However they knew who they wanted and went and got him*

Damn. Bad 24 hours for Virginia tech. Heart breaking loss and then your coach bolts.

Doesn’t get much more of a home run than this.

He took a good Marquette team (NITs, 1st or 2nd round exit NCAA, mid tier Bug East) to multiple sweet 16 and an elite 8 along with some conference hardware. Then he left for historically bad VT and build them into a tourney regular and to a sweet 16. Somewhere they had been in many decades.

It’s not a Jimbo splash, but name a single coach out there that would be a home run AND is even halfway available. Jimbo’s situation was unique. Not a whole lot of championship coaches ready to jump ship.

Yeah, dude like to recruit with his phone. Not exactly lsu or auburn there. Sampson is a better coach, though i like your guy as well

For A&M? This is an absolute homerun. I’d love him as WWs replacement. He’s legit
