TitanTiger 20,531 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think he's the next in line if Pearl doesn't work out. Dude will be expensive though. He makes $2.8 million at Marquette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,833 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I saw an ESPNU Inside Look on Marquette where they have cameras follow the team throughout a period of time. I liked his style and he seemed to really get through to the kids. He would be an incredible hire for the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Buzz Williams commands $2.8mil. I cant help but wonder what it'll take to make the Pearl hire happen. I understand the dynamics are different seeing how Pearl is on the back end of a show cause but he could just as easily wait out a year and cash a big check if he wanted to go that route.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Put 3.1 million on the table for Pearl. If he wants back into coaching bad enough, he'll take our offer. If not, then we should move to the plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to include...already making almost as much as Gus Malzahn and coaches at a perennial bball school. Why would he consider AU? Just dont see him leaving for the SEC bottom with UA sponsor. Also dont see us offering him more than he makes now. Im guessing his name is just a smokescreen. It probably doesnt make sense for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your music playing deal throws up a security warning every time I click on a thread you have posted in. It can be quite annoying. Does it play something automatically or something like that? It shouldn't do that. The source site is very safe, but I don't want it playing unless somebody clicks the play button lol that would be so spammy. I think you can block certain people's signatures on here though, but I'm not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love everything AU but IMO on a professional career level the guy would be nuts to even consider that move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au_bsci_04 407 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Just left Marquette for Va Tech, guess he was looking for a way out bc they aren't much of a bball powerhouse either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big surprise...to everyone...check this: http://college-basketball.si.com/2014/03/21/buzz-williams-stunningly-leaves-marquette-for-virginia-tech/?eref=sihp Note the AU reference....seems this was guy wanting to leave in a hurry and took Va Tech when he did not get a response from AU.

gilstein21 1 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Wow, something must have really pissed him off at Marquette. my first thoughts when I saw the hire. I thought he was getting paid well at Marquette and they are definitely a bigger bball school than us or VT. ACC or not, it was kind of a surprise to me. Not sure what contributed to the 17-15 year at Marquette this season either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,969 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Wow, something must have really pissed him off at Marquette. Could be the opposite as well...(ie: Marquette pushing him out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
