During my time at A&M, I lived through the abomination that was Melvin Watkins' basketball. The man went 61-112 in his time at A&M, and was fired at the end of the 2003-04 season when we went 7-21. Since then, here's what each coach has done in the NCAA Tournament:
The Great Billy Clyde went 21-10 in his first year and took his team to the NIT. Next year - in year 2 of taking over a program left for dead - Billy Clyde's Aggies went to the Round of 32. The next year, his third at A&M, his squad went to the Sweet Sixteen. To recap - Billy Clyde did more in three years than Buzz has done in six - and the state of the program when each took over couldn't have been more night and day.
Mark Turgeon - a whiny bitch of a man, but he was a good coach. Year 1 - Round of 32; Year 2 - Round of 32; Year 3 - Round of 32; Year 4 - first round loss and pouted off to Maryland. But the bottom line - 4 years and 3 NCAA Tournament wins. Again, better than Buzz.
Billy Kennedy - mf'er had Parkinson's disease and went the the Sweet Sixteen TWICE in 7 years. Buzz is a healthy 52 and can't get out of the second round.
Buzz Williams, and his two NCAA Tournament wins in 6 years has been, without question, the LEAST successful basketball coach we've had in the past 25 years. The idea that he is the best basketball coach we can find is idiotic.
