Fan Favorite Has Already Said No to Texas A&M Coaching Job
Quote:
Once Buzz Williams was officially leaving Texas A&M for the Maryland Terrapins job, an overwhelming majority of Aggies fans would have loved for Texas Tech coach Grant McCasland to be the first call made by Athletic Director Trev Alberts.

Unfortunately for the Aggies, it appears this was never a realistic option for either party.

According to On3's Pete Nakos (premium content) McCasland was contacted by the Aggies in regards to the opening, but quickly turned down the idea of replacing Williams.

For fake news it sure has a lot of traction. I did a Google search, and it almost broke the engine with so many hits, Does Sports Illustrated deliver fake news?

Fake news
And this article also had this to say: Ouch !!!


And to be fair, this shouldn't come as much of a surprise.


A move from Lubbock to College Station - as much as Aggie fans won't want to hear it - would have only been considered a downgrade for McCasland. Texas A&M is not a destination school in college basketball, even compared to Texas Tech.

The Red Raiders invest heavily into their basketball program - and are among the heavy hitters in the Big 12 alongside Arizona, Kansas, and Iowa State. While the Aggies are at best a mid-tier SEC program, that is in need of ostensibly an entirely new roster.

That said, it is easy to see why the Aggies would have coveted McCasland in the first place.

Over the past two seasons, he has guided the Red Raiders to back-to-back tournament appearances, including an Elite Eight this season - something Williams could never do. He also got North Texas to 31 wins in 2022, and led them to a March Madness berth in 2020-21.

Regardless, this surely stings for Aggie fans, especially considering that it appears Chris Beard was never really an option either, and was reportedly using the Aggies as leverage for a raise.
And now, they likely will be forced to look toward a mid major candidate, rather than one with Power 4 experience.


Wow Brutal

I withheld sharing that part of the article. While undeniably true, it felt like the writer had a personal vendetta.

What a load of crap. There were no "talks". At most probably a 'hey, might you be interested? No, cool."
They did talk with Beard. Everything else is horse hockey, written by a sip with the usual vendetta against A&M.

I dunno, reaching out with a "hey, might you be interested" sounds like talk. Our Coach put an instant end to those talks with a hearty laugh.
