The latest domino of the college basketball offseason fell on Tuesday when Texas A&M coach Buzz Williams bolted for the same job at Maryland. The news of Maryland poaching Williams away from the SEC came less than 72 hours after Villanova hired former Maryland coach Kevin Willard to succeed Kyle Neptune.

Under Buzz Williams, Texas A&M has enjoyed four straight years of at least 21 wins and three consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

The Texas A&M Aggies will reportedly have to continue their coaching search elsewhere after reportedly having eyes on Oxford, Miss. Per reports from ESPN's Pete Thamel, Ole Miss head coach Chris Beard will be staying with the Rebels despite speculation that he could be the top candidate to replace Buzz Williams in College Station.

Per On3's Pete Nakos, Rebels coach Chris Beard turned down an offer to coach Texas A&M and is staying in Oxford. According to On3's OM Spirit, Beard will also get a raise and additional NIL funds for the program.

It appears one of the top names connected to the head coach opening for Texas A&M men’s basketball is already off the board.
