Good luck to all y’all who have teams advancing to the NCAAs!

I’ve repeatedly said that I’m envious as heck of schools/fans who get to experience March Madness on the reg; hopefully A&M is making moves that will soon earn us some hoops respectability as well.

With each day it’s looking more like AD Scott Woodward has his sights set on Williams.
Time will tell if there’s any fire behind all o’ this smoke.

Texas A&M ready to ‘break the bank’ for Buzz Williams after firing Billy Kennedy
quote:

“I think they break the bank for him,” the source said. “They wouldn’t have fired Kennedy if not.”

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

“I’ve been hearing Buzz for three weeks,” the source said.


REPORT: Buzz Williams Is The ‘Strong Favorite’ To Be Texas A&M’s Next Basketball Coach
quote:

Texas A&M needs a new basketball coach, and the Aggies apparently have their eyes set on Buzz Williams.

According to Evan Daniels, Williams, who currently coaches at Virginia Tech, is the “strong favorite” to replace Billy Kennedy after he was fired.

This would be a great get for the Aggies if they’re able to steal Buzz Williams away from the Hokies. He’s been successful wherever he’s gone.

LEADER IN THE CLUBHOUSE

Buzz Williams, Virginia Tech – There’s been no shortage of speculation that Williams will be A&M’s top target. He’s from Texas and was an assistant under Billy Gillispie in College Station from 2004-06. He’s been successful at Marquette (two Sweet 16s and five NCAAs in six years) and at Virginia Tech (three NCAA tourneys in five seasons). The questions will come down to money and whether he waits to see if he can land Texas or Arizona – if they open.

Would be good hire. Not sure about his recruiting but having the state Texas to recruit would make it easier. He is a hell of a X and O guy.

Need to back the money truck up to Buzz's front door and dump $10,000,000 just to get him interested.

Damn good, especially for the Hokies. He will take them to their 3rd straight NCAAT this year. As a program they only had 8 all time before Buzz. He’s done this in the ACC which is arguably the best conference in the country.

There's always Wade if y'all wait a little longer. Even if he is cleared, I can see a scenario where the LSU BOS relieves him of his duties.

You’re probably just messin’ around ....
But when have we ever “[paid] the most [to] get the least?”

He would be an excellent hire. He gets the most out of his players. Before Pearl became a possibility he is who I was hoping Auburn could land. If memory serves me the one knock was he was a little over reliant on juco but if he wins I guess that doesn't really matter.

Buzz would be a good hire if you can get him. If not, Mussleman would be who I would go after.
