Buzz Leaving Marquette

@DanWetzel Buzz Williams will leave Marquette to become the next coach at Virginia Tech, Y!Sports source.

Wonder how much they are paying. That is a tough job.

Don't need or want Buzz

Wow. Wonder if he wishes he'd taken the SMU job now....

This is interesting:

@GoodmanESPN 3m
Buzz Williams left Marquette for a variety of reasons, sources told ESPN. One of the biggest was new league/new TV package.

Wow! Not a better job.

I guess in a roundabout way. Marquette got Benford'ed :lol:

Yep, he realizes that the new Big East is a sinking ship (albeit slowly).

I have joked about that but I think there is probably at least some truth in it.

ESPN TV > FS1 TV

Guess he sees the writing on the wall with big east and fs1? Or the fact that middling teams in the ACC can easily make the tourney....ahem nc state.

Wake up to see Buzz leaving (according to Marquette fans, he would only leave them for UK, Kansas or UNC) & Duke going down...Great Way to start a day!!!

Hey maybe they'll try to bring him back, I remember how great they said he was when they tried to pawn him off on us two years ago.

Great hire for Tech.

we will see. i think we dodged a bullet actually.

Darn right he's sorry. According to the Washington Post, he's taking a pay cut, about $250,000 per year by my math (link below).

Lang Wiseman, a former Tenn basketball player who maintains strong ties to the program, tweeted this a.m. that the pay cut is $700,000 per year. Either way, that's taking a hit to go a program that operates in the shadow of UVA and flies to games out of the Roanoke airport.
