Apology accepted...

I'm pretty sure Thad Matta makes less than $3 million per year. Make him an offer of $3.5 and get him a Texas AAU guy as recruiting coordinator

Buzz Williams is making less than $3 million per year as well, is a less successful coach than Thad Mata, and is coaching at a less successful basketball ...

You'll be waiting for a very long time. Buzz is not going anywhere (and if he was, it certainly wouldn't be to a basketball program 10 steps back from where Marquette currently is).

Now if you pursue Benford, on the other hand...

Whereever there's a coach, there's an agent looking for an edge. A little chaos helps to make it so the coach gets more money, hence the agent gets more money. The agent can leak and the coach can deny. Its all a perfect smokey system. Hey go for the gusto, Boeheim. He's mad at Syracuse for leaving ...

The problem w/floating Buzz's name as a distraction is that their isn't a better candidate for the job. In essence, any 'stunner' signing would be a let down, at least to a degree from Buzz. Would be smarter to float a lesser name, while signing Buzz etc

Not everyone agrees:

Where does the ...

You are a guest here so you really don't know the posters and the tone of the board as a whole. Few people here believe that this has a snowballs chance in hell of happening. They are just entertaining the idea that is all. A lot of us think we end up with Tony Benford instead.

Fair enough. I ...

Buzz Williams doesn't have an agent.

He is not leaving for SMU. Sorry. He's already at a program about 10 steps above SMU. It would be a backwards move for him.

Poverty is SEXY .

Yeah, that effects Buzz. He's at risk of falling into poverty, with Marquette paying him, you know, $2.6 million a year. Lol.

Dude, chill out. Most of us here are very aware at how slim a chance we have at landing Buzz.

Sure doesn't seem like it.

Weird. The sexiest city in America in 2008. So unless every single person left the city and the entire city was burned down in 4 years, I'm not sure what all the ...

So Buzz, a married 39 year old who doesn't drink alcohol, is going to leave a top 25 program for a program that is about the 12th best program...in its own state...based on weather, women, and beer. I now understand how you guys can be naive enough to think you're going to land Buzz...

And for ...

Lol. This whole topic is hilarious. What in the world, beyond being in Texas, does SMU have to offer Buzz Williams over Marquette? You have 1 Final Four appearance, in 1956. Buzz Williams wasn't even born then. Your last conference championship was in 1993, and you have always played in an AWFUL ...
