Re: OSU Candidates on 247 Buzz coming in at #3...not so fast my friends.


'Aint gonna happen. I read A LOT about Buzz when he left Marquette. There were several reasons why Buzz left to go to Tech. Stability in exposure (the Big East was perceived as breaking apart); stability in his employment and at the University (Marquette was without a permanent A.D. and without a University President at the time- they resigned or retired); and one other reason. There is apparently a statute of Al McGuire (the legendary Marquette coach who took them to two final fours and a N.C., three or more Elite Eights, and many NCAA appearances) in front of their arena and Buzz always had that legacy looking over his shoulder. One of the reasons he came to Tech is to build HIS program, not merely continue of live up go someone else's. He will not be here forever but he would like to build his own legacy at Tech. I think he'll stay as long as he has support from the fans and the A.D. and believes he can succeed at Tech. If one of those three things fades that's when he will look elsewhere.
