Maryland has reached an agreement with Buzz Williams to make him the new men's basketball coach, according to CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein. Pete Thamel of ESPN reported the sides finalized a six-year contract.
This is a golden opportunity for athletic director Trev Alberts and A&M to get it right.

A&M needs to give the new coach enough name, image and likeness money to win at a championship level.
