College basketball analysts pull no punches on how “The Buzzsaw” fits t Maryland, Willard’s ugly transition

“Look, it’s not my head-scratcher in terms of what we’re going to talk about today, but it is a little bit of a head-scratcher. But it’s really not. I mean, this is what Buzz does. I’m talking on his side, right? You look at the tenure at Marquette, it was, I think, five or six years. Then he goes to Virginia Tech. It’s five or six years. Then he goes to Texas A&M, it’s five or six years. He never stays in one place for an elongated time, saying, ‘Hey, all right, this is where I’m going.’ Like, it’s just he kind of bounces around, I’ve said it before, it’s like, it gets a little shaky at a place, and he moves on to the next one. The head scratcher for me, if you’re him, and he’s established and Texas A&M is not trying to get rid of him. It’s like, you’re gonna go take a job where you don’t have an athletic director? Like the alignment piece between the administration and your coach, and you’re going there, and it’s like, OK, your football coach thinks one thing. He thinks one thing in terms of revenue sharing. There’s nobody really in charge. The president’s not really in charge. So how is this going to work? How are we all going to be aligned to, you know what, go after this thing and make sure Maryland football is good, make sure Maryland basketball is good. Like, how is everybody going to be on the same page? That, to me, is the head-scratcher. It’s like you’re taking a job and you don’t even know who the boss is?”

Goodman: “Well part of the issue, Matt, part of the deal was A&M didn’t really care that he left. Like that’s part of the deal here, otherwise he wouldn’t have left.”
