If Buzz to Maryland is real, A&M will be open. I believe both Beard and McCasland would take that job. Luckily they have the worst AD in college athletics.

Tech to aggy would be a fucking idiotic move by McCasland.

    Beard is a real piece of shit and I hate him, but toying with A&M emotions always bumps someone up a notch in my book.

McCasland isn’t leaving for Aggy.

I doubt he leaves at all.  Tech has a rabid fanbase and good NIL situation.  He’s in the Elite 8 in year 2 (or is it 3?  I can’t keep track of time anymore).

Beard, possibly.

McCasland? No chance unless you have insider info. Tech is a much better overall program than A&M with more history.

Why would Buzz leave unless he’s at odds with the admin there. He has to decent recruits coming in. 

Rumors are that he doesn't like his new boss

Nobody likes Trav Alberts!

Damn Beard to A&M would be a problem no matter what we think of the guy. A&M obviously would sell their souls to be good at something so I could see it 

Beard would go to A&M for a revenge factor on UT. Now that I could see happening. 

I don’t know that he’ll get a job like UNC, which I think coaching a blue blood is his dream. Kentucky has no morals so he could fight for that job, but I don’t see Pope going anywhere anytime soon.

The next best thing? Go turn A&M into a power like he did at tech and was going to do at Texas. I don’t know that Mississippi has the money to keep him when compared to A&M. Then again, A&M has their own financial issues, apparently.

Is the Ole Miss AD a better boss than Alberts?

 

 

 

Oh who am I kidding, a mop with googly eyes would be a better and more competent boss than Trav

His buyout was $19 mill last year per the texags. No clue what it is now. Sounds like he would negotiate it to leave. 
 

Sounds like none of their coaches want to be at A&M

You won't believe this but Texags is full of shit

Who is Buzz’s top assistant bc he’s about to get a promotion

Also his wife of 24 years is a Tech die hard and would cut his throat.

Randi Trew got remarried?

Please, refer to her by her true name: Mac N' Cheese

McCasland seems like he'd stay at Tech until a blueblood comes calling. Didn't know his was was a tortilla tosser, that pretty much seals the deal it would seem.

She played soccer for Tech, and they met when he was a grad assistant for James Dickey I believe.

I have a tough time seeing Chris Beard taking the Ag job.  What’s the upside there if he truly wants to coach at a “blueblood”?

I think you answered your own question.

Probably thinks [correctly] that there is an impenetrable ceiling there.

The difference between pink and purple is the grip.

Adding the choke man to those over-wound motherfuckers could result in yet another spectacular explosion of either depravity or humanity itself.

It would be one hellova mix!!!

Some of his peers feel differently. But who knows? Nothing is open yet.

Yeah I'm sure some of his peers believe the Earth is flat, too.

Like who?  

Some of his peers feel differently as in he would take the A&M job? The only—and I mean only—reason for him to consider that job is if he believes the Big 12 as a conference is either currently behind or will be behind the SEC and Big 10 going forward (and tech won’t be invited to either party).

Conference power rankings are cyclical. Making that kind of calculation would be short sighted.

Point taken. Let me rephrase. Conferences being ahead or behind one another is cyclical. Making that kind of calculation would be shortsighted.

I still don’t think you’re getting what I’m trying to say but I’ll move on…

 

Buzz making it known he wanted to go back home to Texas and now leaving his dream job of A&M is just odd. 

A&M should go after Scott Cross

Big part of why Otz isn’t leaving ISU.  His wife is ISU WBB royalty.  She’s also an Aussie who considers central Iowa her American home

Kevin Willard is leaving the Big 10 for the Big East.

Basketball ain’t football when it comes to conference hierarchy.  The Big 12 is not at the same disadvantage on the hardwood as the gridiron.

Willard is leaving because Villanova is a better basketball job than Maryland, that’s really it. It’s also a private university. 

What tech does have going for it, even if it’s not in the SEC or BIG, is billionaire donors. 

But my original post implied that is highly unlikely he’d leave tech for A&M unless there’s just something major no one knows about. Tech is the better job, better backing. 

if beard doesn’t get the job he wants this offseason then he’s better off just staying put for one more year and seeing what opens up next season. everyone knows he’s an elite coach, he doesn’t need to make a lateral move, and even if he was going to make one, a&m seems like the last place the former tech and UT HC would want to go. NC State? ok sure. a&m? i couldn’t see it.

Eh, I think it's more that Maryland is an absolute mess currently. Their president is clueless, Willard just forced out a bad AD who way overinvested in a bad football coach and wasn't putting in the resources Willard felt he needed to succeed which is hilarious given his lack of a track record. But desperation is opportunity for a last big payday for Buzz. He probably assumes this team with a senior Wade Taylor was the best he could do.

It’s still a little strange we are not hearing anything about Willard.

Is he a bad AD? SMU/Hartzell saw something in him. Granted the SMU job is fucking do-nothing for the next couple seasons.

I didn't know what to think of the hire it seems like you maybe have some more insight.

Fun literature on him. I don't know a ton about SMU but it sounds like they just want someone who is able to gladhand and be a figurehead that isn't making real decisions. But I do have a bit of insight on the Maryland program and school. President isn't interested in sports, without the AD the voices are Gary Williams (legendary coach but been retired for 15 years and part of why he retired was a refusal to recruit AAU kids so very much a relic) and Kevin Plank. They don't have an Eltife type to rally the money and keep everyone in their places and the money hasn't been able to be successfully rallied ever really. 

Buzz would probably do well there given the expectations left behind by their last A&M coach in Turgeon who was basically their Shaka. We should just hope that someone at Maryland is a bit more ambitious and they try for Luke Murray to keep Buzz in place.

Yeah getting a DUI in a BMW 15 years ago doesn't do anything for me when it comes to being at SMU.

I think you'd be guessing correctly. There isn't a major hire to be made. Lashlee is obviously killing it and Enfield just finished his first season. Women's volleyball just had a nice season as did Men's soccer. Either they believe in the guy or they're willing to let him bat around some sports no one gives a shit about like women's basketball or tennis or whatever. 

I trust Hartzell just can't tell if it's a "we really like this guy" or "fuck it just hire this dude and we'll reasses when we need to" type hire.

Not really a bad time to do it what with all the xfers in the portal. 

Does Maryland have any interest and/or guts to hire Chris Beard???

Would be crazy, but if Buzz goes to Maryland, aggy will likely pursue Beard 🤔

Has to be Alberts and aggy Athletic department in whole. This sinking ship is in trouble and Trev Albert is full steam ahead to the iceberg.

NIL money drying up in football must be nothing compared to what basketball is lacking.
