Former Texas A&M coach Buzz Williams could be on the verge of leaving College Station after Kevin Willard accepted the head coaching job at Villanova. The move leaves Maryland with a top coaching vacancy, and sources suggest that Williams would be open to taking the reins.
As news broke of Willard’s departure, rumors swirled around potential candidates for the Terrapins’ job. One name that surfaced is Buzz Williams, who spent six seasons leading Texas A&M. Despite completing his sixth season with a 23-11 record and NCAA Tournament appearance, there are questions about whether Williams will remain in College Station or explore new opportunities.
Maryland’s decision to pursue outside candidates comes after Willard led the team to its best season since 2015, finishing 27-9 overall and 14-6 in the Big Ten. A search for a replacement is underway, with potential names emerging as top contenders.
