Leaving is fine. It is how one shows maturity and grace.

Here is a template from maybe an unexpected individual, Buzz Williams Words cannot describe how thankful I am for the past six years. every relationship, every contribution, every buzz's bunch camp, all the historic things we accomplished together, and most importantly, that you welcomed myself and my family with open arms," Williams wrote. "From the moment we returned to Texas, the impact on our hearts was evident and profound. The love and care of the people and this place is special. and we will never forget our time here." Williams could go on to thank the 12th Man, the administration and his former players, calling it "the honor of (his) career)" to coach all of the talent that came through College Station during his tenure. "To the former players -- Thank you for giving your all," Williams wrote. "The way you represented this institution, this team, and yourselves will always be part of this program's foundation. It's been the honor of my career to coach you and to watch you grow as men." Don’t be a modern Irsay ** Edited by Va AandM at 6/8/2026, 12:59:22 PM

Thanking the old fan base is called professionalism

One *might* question Buzz's sincerity, but Brooks did not even fake it**
HokieNL 06/08/26 05:52 PM ET
Come to think of it, what did Buzz say when he left Blacksburg?**
