NCAA spot or he's out the door would be my view.

I didn't watch any of today's game, but it sounds like it was just more of the same early season suckage that we've all gotten used to. While I personally think he's a pompous a$#, I'd rather him make the NCAAs this year because I'm tired of rebuilding.

I think he's building something good and long-lasting here, so as long as he makes the NIT I'm ok with him coming back.

It's year 4. NCAA tourney or bust

Last year they got screwed and I hated it for them. But can't go 4 years without an appearance

I wouldn't be upset if we let him go after another NCAA tournament miss.

I don't know why you would think that in year 4 when he's got as good of a roster as he's gonna get here.

If we somehow swapped Jimbo and Buzz, could it get any worse?

this topic again? ncaas or highway 6 for Buzz.

BK took them in his 5th year. We are still in Buzz's 4th year. He still has a long leash.

He's getting next year no matter what.

If he misses the tournament this year I can't say I'd be happy to see him go, as I really wanted him to work out here for a number of reasons.

But if I'm being honest with myself and treat him with the same critical eye as I have previous coaches... if you can't make the tournament in 4 years then you are unlikely to have sustained success -- and previous coaches have proven you can in fact have sustained success.

I agree that they got screwed last year. But Jeez, we should be able to be well off the bubble where the committee can't screw us. We should be able to be separated from crappy teams where a late call can't screw us. Something is seriously broken here in year 4.

I think politically with the fan base an NCAA trip is the right answer and should run a game or make S16 to maximize support. But seeing solid progress and a similar outcome to last year isn't reason to fire him. But I'd prefer to win the NIT championship if we repeat. And conference championship win prevents that outcome!

I think we're too early in the season for the traditional Texags discussion of whether we would rather make the NCAA tournament and lose in the first round or make the semifinals of the NIT or win the whole thing in the CBI.

No you don't think that.

True. It is one of my favorite traditional discussions.

It is our festivus!

Go ahead and give him an extension, without having results…it's the Aggie way.

Was BK making top 15 money?

I don't know that A&M cares enough about basketball to fire Buzz if he misses the dance again this season, to be honest. Especially if we have to worry about paying Jimbo's buyout.

I'll beat a dead horse - NCAA or he's gone.

I fully believe that Buzz is a great coach in terms of personal development. Players love him and I know he loves his players. He's gotten his payday. Hopefully he has invested wisely.

I have grown to like him but he was hired to get us to the tournament every year. And so far, we haven't made it at all. And this year, we are going to have to play at an elite level in SEC play and pretty much can't lose another non conference game. It's a big climb out of the basement. I'd have been ok with losing 1 game early but we are past that now. I doubt we'll start looking for a new coach yet but it does make you wonder what's going on. Literally no one thought it should take 5 years to make the tournament. Shoot, that's one of the many knocks against BK is that it took him that long. I really hope Buzz's statement that he considers it just year 2 to him, isn't a sign of what he expects.

TLDR; He needs to make the tournament!

Tourney or go. Said the same thing for BK

Buzz will get the '23 season no matter what happens, and likely '24 as well thanks to Jimbo.

It SHOULD be tourney or pink slip in year 4…

I just want everyone to have fun

I agree with others that he gets next year even if this year misses the (real) post season yet again

But if next year is more of the same then it just proves what we fear: that the new way the game is played and recruited via the portal has passed Buzzasaurus by and his method doesn't work in the modern game meta and never will and his refusal to adapt to it means he needs to go

I have literally no insider info on what would happen and don't care to speculate on the finances involved, but in a vacuum if this team doesn't make the tournament you gotta at least think hard about pulling the trigger.

We should be an ncaa tournament team at this point. There is no excuse. He isn't going anywhere no matter how they finish, unless it's his decision. So anyone thinking he's getting fired can pretty much put that to bed now. Did you just start following A&M sports?

Ncaa tourney or cut him loose

It's the save with buzz and jimbo;

Ask yourself; when these guys were hired is THIS where you expected to be with them in years 4 and 5 respectively?

The a seer should be a resounding hell no

I expected to be a perennial 10 win team competing for titles by this point in jimbos tenure not enduring one of the worst seafood in my lifetime

And with buzz I expected to have at least 1 dance appearance and a team that was squarely considered a dance team and not getting t enough out by average teams in non conference

Both are failing miserably up to this point

With the looming buyout on themhorizon buzz will finish out his contract no matter what

Nowhere in the OP does it mention what will happen. It just asks for posters preferences. Did you just start reading TexAgs

I thought we were rich? I thought we were so rich that we laugh at the lolpoors. That's all I've heard around these parts for the last several years. Now we can't afford to get rid of a coach that hasn't made the tournament in four seasons because we might fire a coach in a different sport? That doesn't sound like rich people behavior.

(To be clear, I'm still not convinced we'll miss the tournament this year, but hypothetically)

Can stay as long as he likes with me. Will get it figured out.

Correct

Without better PG play, I don't see how this team makes the tourney and that is on Buzz. We should've never let Diarra leave; Buzz should have said or done whatever to keep him because he would've made this team alot better. In short, if we don't make the tournament, you have to consider firing him and I really like Buzz.

Billy Kennedy took less heat then Buzz has taken. It's amazing to watch.

So now we are upset that Diarra left? Lol.
