Goodman's article at ESPN, on it's Insider site, says Buzz was frustrated by the regime changes at MU and was worried that the new Prez and AD would not be in his corner along with the changes in the BE.

Ultimately Buzz wasn't tough enough for Marquette. Or any other premier program for that matter.

Because change never happens anywhere else? Because it'll never happen at VPI? To use his preferred word, he's being a p*ssy then since he's running from things that MIGHT happen.

This. They guy that preached "tough enough" at MU was a bit wimpy at the end. Could not handle the complaints about his coaching this year. Could not handle the pending change at MU. He was not tough enough for MU. At least he lasted 6 years here. 5 longer than any other stay that he had. Showed he ran from New Orleans. He is a runner, not a coach, I guess.

Makes as much sense as anything else.....Buzz has always told anyone who would listen that he is immature.......maybe he just couldn't handle one bad year and freaked out.......

New love always seems better then old love.....at least at the beginning...............

Yeah, I don't see VT getting in the NCAA tournament anytime soon. Not unless it becomes a 9 or 10 bid league.

That's easy. Anyone can be the fighting underdog, constantly scrapping for a little success when you are expected to struggle. He had that when TC left, then Maymon left, etc. Tourney success and NBA talent and he is suddenly The Little Engine That Could. Buzz is great with house money. But when there is no excuse for a lack of success, no one thinks its cute anymore. That's what this past season was. He can do that all day at VT, no one will care if they suck or come thiiiiis close to a tourney bid. For awhile.

I am not on Twitter, but as everyone knows Buzz joined Twitter for the first time this past year. Maybe he was naiive to some of the negative things that would be tweeted his way in the Twitter world. Not the best season to have in your first year experiencing Twitter. Buzz may be in for a surprise, that while MU may have some disrespectful and unappreciative fans (just as all fan bases do), there are situations much worse out there than MU when things go bad.

I don't think Buzz will ever experience the success at Virginia Tech that he had at MU. He has become a sheep among the wolves in the ACC:

Wolves: Krzyzewski, Williams, Boeheim, Pitino

Sheep: Everyone else
