Buzz Williams?

[hoopmanx]

So why hasn't there been anything on ESPN? Is it b/c there is no substance to the rumor? Or b/c ESPN hates the Big East?

It's because we're SMU and they only care if we score 28 points.

and we haven't really even stepped to the plate yet in all probability. Just rumor and innuendo

[CoxBizGrad]

No substantive discussions.

[gostangs]

and because espn hates the big east - and are still pouting. they need to get over it and get out the checkbook.

Talks with Buzz have officially begun. Orsini has built quite the increase in salary we can offer through contributions by three key donors. If the Buzz deal doesn't come to fruition, the type of money we are offering will get a lot of coaches' attention.

If he doesn't come will we offer the same amount, or are the donors in for just Buzz. In other words if our plan b is a lesser profile coach with a smaller salary or buy out, will we still offer as much?

3-point shot: SMU eyes Buzz Williams

By Andy Katz

1. SMU is joining the Big East in 2013 and wants to make a slash in replacing Matt Doherty. The Mustangs, according to sources, have Marquette’s Buzz Williams in their sights. But those close to him would be stunned if he were to leave Marquette, now a top Big East program, for a school that will enter the league at the bottom. The money can’t be more than comparable to what he makes now, and proximity to his hometown can’t be that big a deal, right? Unless something happens to prove otherwise, chalk this one up to wishful thinking.

Kandy Atz is the worst...loves to [deleted] all over the little guys every chance he gets.

Was just going to post that - you beat me to it.

Doesn't sound he put much work into that blurb. Love this part:

From the MU board talking about their premium site and sending more letters to the admin:

"Report from premium side is to breath easy, no Buzz to SMU but keep up the letters"

[ponyinNC]

I saw that too...kind of depressed me a little bit.

[Mitch McConnell]

At this point there is so much guesswork, nobody knows but acts like they do.
