I can't say I'm surprised, but I'm really disappointed. I'd hoped he would be here for the long haul to turn the program around, but honestly I don't know if I'd want to be here either if I were him. Here's the ESPN article, it looks to be all but official.

You are a horrible person.
Why yes, I am.
So, legs for all!
That was too close to home.
Don't play with my emotions like this!
Funny story, my parents were trying to watch that particular episode of the simpsons when my mom was in labor with me in the hospital. Apparently one of the nurses made them turn it off because she thought it was inappropriate.
Update: this episode aired on April 1st 1993 just so y'all know.
I would have overruled that nurse with "You NEVER turn off the Simpsons, just like you don't ever quit in the middle of a hoe down!"
Come on man...you are going to give someone a heart attack. :)
And that somebody was almost me! I thought I'd weathered the April Fool's stuff too easily this year...ya got me.
Same here buddy...the ESPN link got me.
The trick to any good prank is getting the details right.
Well done Sir!! Also, I hate this day and this month (my name is April). :)
wait, your name isn't AMBER?! or is this another April fools....
clever, now we will never know which one to believe...
Haha No....AMB are my initals...no Aprils fools joke.
well, pleasure to finally meet you April
Nah, MV, in this particular case, it was the topic headline on a site known for being quick on the uptake when Hokie stuff happens. Yeah, maybe the link was the icing, but it was the cake I choked on.
Vision blurring. Shortness of breath. Tingling down left arm.
Well played!
Funny story, this morning I was pretending to be asleep on the couch when my wife and son (4) came downstairs. When I got close I jumped at him. My wife screamed...she I thought had a heart attack. Guess I'll be hitting the gym tonight.
I was thinking of doing this on the way to work today but I have been too busy. Legs for you
Someone is bound to just read the title, not open the link, or read the comments and post his/her frustration.
Nobody would be dumb enough to fall for that...
I was already bitching to my roommate about how I couldn't handle the drama of a new coach. The link looked legit
>.< you are a horrible no good very bad person. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
Seriously, though, good one
Saw this right after I read this tweet and man was I confused!
Update: And here is a link to a prank my buddy pulled on another buddy that somehow made its way to BroBible.
Well effin' played.
It's days like this when I wish I made the disclaimer text at the bottom of forum topics bigger and bolder.
Well played, Sir.
The url is a nice touch. Bravo
I tossed a perfectly good lunch when I read this.....thanks a lot....I hate you....
I just down voted you, you SOB. (April's fool)
Dang! Don't DO That! As you can see that hurt me....bad. I don't know if this will un-stick...
Can you imagine if this story came out for real tomorrow? Whit would be like, "yeah, right Buzz! I saw it on TKP yesterday. Go back to work".
Buzz's name was mentioned on SVP & Russillo last week for the Texas job. Don't remember who the guest was that brought him up (some NCAA basketball insider), but he said Buzz would run to Austin if offered the job. I hope he sticks around awhile.
TOOL! But you did get me.........
Made it through work unscathed. Hmmm...let me check into TKP...
Blah, blah....April Fool's...blah blah...
Buzz Williams? What's this? OUR Buzz Williams?
click
Oh, my.
I am still the perfect April Fools rube even after all these years
It's just hard to remember all day. lol
I almost made it all day without falling for anything.
Almost.
Payback will be sweet.
this made me lol
Even Yeezus in the flesh approves of this prank. "Imma let you finish...your lunch. SIKE!"
Came out of a 4 hour work meeting, saw this, fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Tip of the cap.
Hooo boy, you got me good! Still waiting for my stomach to return from the bottomless pit it fell into.
Such sad news :( (you got me good, I hate you haha)
Texted a few friends this link. If I'm going down they're going down with me
Too far, man. Too far. My insides lurched at the title. I can only imagine what they would have done if [April Fools] hadn't been at the bottom.
In other words: Masterfully done.
Leg for pointing out LOLUVa couldn't beat Grant Noel.
Thanks for the title change (Joe?) I was planning on doing that when I woke up.
I went all day dealing with kids trying to "fool" me with my shoes are untied, something on my face, and other overly used elementary tricks in an attempt to get me. I was impenetrable to each feeble attempt and watched them walk away defeated. After three years of Aprils Fools in an elementary school, there is no Mr. Nice Guy.
I went all day without anyone even getting close to "fooling" me until 11:47PM of this wretched day from hell. In my weak moment of tiredness, I let my guard down and fell for your ploy of attack. The day with such promised ended in defeat from no other but one of my own Hokie Brothers.
To you sir, there are no words that can express my adulterous admiration for a well construed plan with glorious success.
