No thanks. Unless he has changed, I dont see his style of coaching working in the NIL era.

He already coached hear.

here here

65 years old
Career .554 winning percentage
Fired from last two high major jobs
1 winning record in 5 years at current job
Broke Melvin's record for B12 single season conference losses

I'd like BCG as an asst. He doesn't need the pressure of being the big dog here at this stage of his life/wellness.

I cannot hear you while I am standing right here.

It's honestly impressive how unimpressive BG's career is/was without Law IV, Carter, Kirk, Walker and the Pride of Normangee.

A victim of his vices.

It was the assistant coaches.

Bring him on as a defensive assistant.

Head coach? I don't think his health could handle it.

Sarcasm aside, Gillispie was a really good coach at A&M. 18 years ago. And he's mostly sucked since then.

Dear TexAgs, having lived in CS once should not be the first and most important thing to look for in a sports coach

Was waiting for someone to post this.....was starting to get concerned that we had forgotten about him.

I thought people here knew all the right answers. I mean everyone here is a self proclaimed expert on whatever board they are posting on.

no thanks but I wouldn't mind Turgeon back

That's neither hear nor they're

here ye....here ye.....I tell you.

Wear you go in?

He is probably getting fired from Tarleton in next year. So he would be dirt cheap

Is it just me, or is it fun to spell his name correctly with an "i"?
!
I feel like a two year old who just made a poopie in the toilet when I do it!

Really? This is the coach that had Deandre Jordan coming off the bench.

I was thinking about BCG just the other night - what a wild combination of situation and point in his career where it came together magically. It is hard to describe how excited the fanbase was after such a long time being a bottom feeder basketball program. They played so hard and were winning with a walk on in the starting lineup, in a tough Big 12. Took it to the Sweet 16, which would have seemed impossible to predict in Watkins's last year. I loved the results and was fully on board with him as a coach, thinking that coaching style was the only way we could have flipped the script in the program. However, in general I was NOT a fan of that kind of coaching approach and actually felt a bit bad for the players on the team at times. Still, it was surprising he had so little success afterwards - I could see UK not working out, not a good fit, but when he went to Tech and failed HARD I was a bit surprised. He had demons and they cost him greatly, health wise he is somewhat fortunate to still be walking around the planet.

Aggie hero, overall a failed coach. I do think Buzz and other assistants contributed pretty heavily to making his coaching style work with that group of players when he was here.

Odd factoid from his wiki page:

In the exhibition games preceding the 200304 season, Gillispie's UTEP Miners defeated the Harlem Globetrotters 8988, after the Globetrotters had already defeated many college teams including the then-defending national champion, Syracuse Orange. It was the first defeat the Harlem Globetrotters had suffered in 289 games.

No thank you.

No better comparison than Texas A&M and the Washington Generals

He turned UTEP around prior to coming to A&M.

He was a great coach but he has a ton of health issues . Do we really need that working against us too? Wish he had never left but history is history

This hear bored is to blind too sea there own faults.
