# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. Marqutte fans were asking the same question two years ago.

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. I don't think Buzz leaves this year, but keep in mind that every coach that does leave:
- preaches "togetherness" and "commitment" right before he leaves,
- has talented players returning that he recruited and has a close relationship with,
- has a new house,
- has a wife who is involved in the community and looks happy at the grocery store.
Buzz will leave one day and the day before he leaves, all of these things will be true. Two years just doesn't seem like much time so this probably isn't the year. But Okie St is a tough job to turn down.
Buzz may not be motivated by money (he said his family lives off of $500k/yr) but the more he makes, the more he can put to Buzz's Bunch.
He not leaving any time soon..... The reason he cane to tech was to rebuild and hes not done rebuilding so
Why would he leave?
He wanted a challenge in the best basketball conference. He took the last place team, and is partway through a complete makeover, which is showing significant signs of success. If he makes it into something, which he is, he gets all the credit.
So this conversation makes no sense at all.

# | At some point we are going to have a conversation about Buzz leaving rumors , it might as well start now. Yep. Games with less than 25 students there when school was in session. Season tix holder sections 1/3+ empty vs top 10 opponent in a Saturday afternoon in March. ACCT hokie fans can teach NRV fans a lot.
OSU has had attendance problems this year because their performance dipped so low. Big reason Ford was fired was because Iba looked like Cassell in the Miami game.
Hopefully VT fans will pick it up next year. Clearly ACCT fans made an impact on buzz.
We seem to be in good shape (3 seed) according to this site.
I've seen it linked on here before but I don't know how credible it is. I've never paid much attention to NIT bracketology

I'm hesitant to concede "better fanbase" to anyone and it sure as hell isn't gonna be Oklahoma State
I'm sure they do, but he isn't their top target or anywhere near the top of their wish list at this point.
I didn't say I think he will leave but #sauces say OK ST wants to talk to him.
They will target Chris Mack from Xavier and Chris Beard from Arkansas Little Rock before Buzz. You also have to factor in the fact that Buzz and his family literally just purchased a brand new home.
So much for schools focusing on education. ..but I guess that not been much of a concern for many Florida schools/athletes. There are some exceptions, though, but not the norm.
Paging Kam Chancellor!
So if I live in Green Cove Springs or Middleburg and I work at NAS Jax, then my kids have the option of not going to Middleburg or Clay High if Ridgeview and Fleming Island have vacancies.
If I live in Palencia and can afford to buy my kid a car (which by definition I can if I live in Palencia), then my kids can drive to Ponte Vedra or Creekside if they have an opening
Basically those with means can move and those who don't cannot.
edit: I did just write my State Rep recommending that the bill require showing of some type of hardship or logistical consideration and that it be handled on a case by case basis by local school boards.
Florida already has an excellent magnet school system...Paxson, Stanton, and Anderson here in Jax come immediately to mind. They can handle overcrowding through redistricting.
What is the motive for this again?
Sorry I can't be more specific. But it happens.
T. Boone Pick-somebody else. BUZZ IS OURS!!!

In other news, Jim Harbaugh just opened a new high school in Florida
There is no exception for that. Unless your family moves the VHSL is very strict. They have been sued because of how strict they are in denying waivers.

There are ways around this rule, such as a certsin class is not offered at a certain school. I just know it happens.
VHSL rules don't allow someone to transfer and play in the same year.

must sit out all VHSL competition for 365 consecutive calendar days following a school transfer unless the transfer corresponded with a family move
Well I'm fairly confident that OK ST will at least try and talk to Buzz.
Nope has come up multiple times in last two weeks and is heating up with Ok St firing a coach and paying him 7.2 million to be fired.
Ok State, would be close to home for buzz though, and if that's his goal to make back closer to home this could be a prime opportunity.
I have a couple of of close friends who coach football in Fairfax Co and I got news for you, this goes on a lot in this county. But you do have to provide your own transportation.

Yea I think many people are missing the point of my post. I don't think he is going to leave either BUT it is a conversation that will come up every time a high profile job opens especially in Texas or Oklahoma.
