Buzz Williams...

[Cobra]

Tell me why he wouldn’t create a buzz and be a fit here?
C’mon Coyle, sign him up!

Why would Buzz Williams leave Texas A&M? He is in the SEC, having success, and is from Texas. Am I missing something?

He will have much better options if he decides to move.

 

[Big Dawg]

He makes like 4.5 million. MN would have to offer like 6 million to get him. MN ain’t doing that.

 

[GopherGuy82]

Not sure how I feel about Buzz. If Coyle was smart he should have been stashing the other two million a year, for the last four years, that they would have needed to pay a real coach so this transition would be easier. I highly doubt he did that though.

Buzz does have a history of job hopping...6 years at Marquette, 5 years at VA tech, now in his 6th year at A&M.

I'm just very doubtful we'd actually pony up for him, but would be a great poach and his track record suggests he might be looking for his next challenge...

LOL. One reason he would come to MN?

This board always loses its collective mind during coaching searches. Can't wait until it's in full effect.

Odds that the board will be disappointed by the hire and then delude themselves into thinking it will work are near 100%.

Just don't see SEC and B1G coaches moving unless it's to a more prestigious team within the two conferences.

I believe there is one that could be attainable if we really wanted to. Chris Jans is from Iowa, we have a higher valuation than MSST, and he has a track record of success.

He has had a scandal before which is why he was fired from Bowling Green. And his current contract is $4.2 million... I doubt we spend enough to bring him in, but at .718 win pct I think we should make the effort. (.629 in the SEC and has made the tourney 5 out of 6 possible times).
