I'll be cheering for Maryland and Buzz - since that is where my favorite Aggies will be playing.
Hopefully our new hire and the team he scrapes together will give me another reason to cheer as well!

I'm an Aggie. But I can also cheer for other teams in addition to my Texas Aggies. For example I cheer for the local New Mexico Lobo team - as I live in Albuquerque.
Of course, I would cheer AGAINST those teams (Maryland and New Mexico) if they ever played my Texas Aggies.
I have no hard feelings against Buzz, Solo, Payne or the others that might move to College Park next year. I thoroughly enjoyed the last 6 years of Aggie Men's Basketball.
I wish them well in the future - and wish you the best as well, sir.
Gig'em!!!

I'm addition to Buzz wanting to leave, we encouraged him to leave to hire Beard. We failed. Now we may be getting a low major head coach that runs a gimmick full court press. Less than a year after hiring a hitting coach to completely nuke our baseball team
This AD is a complete disaster. Watching Maryland be good next season with two of our top players is going to be sickening
Can you just let it play out? I'm gonna guess the athletic director has done more research on this hire than you have. Are you at risk of losing your job if it doesn't work out? No.
Have you done any research on this guy at all? Probably not. If you did you'd probably realize this is a 180 from Buzz in terms of philosophy and engagement.
Will it work out? I don't know, neither do you. I was convinced Jimbo would win but look how that turned out.
If he's gonna be the guy, I'll still renew my season tickets. I'll support him. I will not throw a tantrum before his first game.

We encouraged Buzz to leave to make a play on Beard? Rather than Buzz throwing his name at any job open available?
Where are you getting this from? You wouldn't just be pulling this out of your backside would you?
Nope ... Buzz' teams have a super high floor. He can take average and get them to play at a decent level. His problem was that his teams don't have a high ceiling.HeyAbbott said:
We were going to be bad next year even if Buzz stayed

How much research did he do about Early?

With the way A&M guarantees money in their contracts, would losing my job matter?
We're giving this guy a 5-year deal and he coached high school 5 years ago.

A&M changed the market when we hired Jimbo in terms of contract/pay. And I don't understand some of AD decisions lately.scd88 said:AggieArchitect04 said:scd88 said:AggieCrew44 said:

What a useless response; like A&M is the only one who does this. Isn't 5 years pretty standard?
It was only a matter of time until a power conference program saw the future in Bucky McMillan. Kudos to @aggiembk for hiring one of the brightest rising stars in the sport. @SamfordMBB will never forget @BuckyBasketball. And vice versa. #GigEm https://t.co/StpikgT1Hn

We were likely to be awful next season no matter who was coaching us
Many of you need therapy. What is going so bad in your life that you can't cope with disappointment in college athletics? I mean sometimes I get pissed, angry or embarrassed but hell by Monday I got a million other concerns and they ain't named Buzz, Early or Elko.AggieCrew44 said:

Buzz left out of self preservation. He lost his senior laden team and had mediocre results after a season of high hopes with the best team of his 6 year tenure. His next three years were going to be tougher to convince critics than the last 3 years.AggieCrew44 said:I said "in addition to him wanting out".

Not that you all care, but I think this is a good hire.
Is it risky? Yes, almost all hires carry risk.
But just as an example, at UF we hired Billy Donovan from Marshall with 2 years experience, and he won two titles. We hired Golden from USF with only a few years experience and zero tournament wins, and he just took us to the FF. Look at where Hurley was before UCONN, Nate Oats before Bama etc.
Fit and upside matter more in basketball hires than football hires, by far. When you want to break through your current ceiling, trying something new is a valid approach. And hiring someone who plays a unique, fun style may bring more interest and engagement. Not to mention, he's won 20 games what 4 years now? It's not just a gimmick, he's a good coach.
Anyway, Jmo. Good luck.
Thr pressing will not work at this level--at all. The shooting will be fun. He gets his shot. Sounds like a good guy; good on him.scd88 said:AggieCrew44 said:
