The Villanova Wildcats have hired Maryland's Kevin Willard as their new coach. Willard had been linked to the Villanova job throughout the NCAA Tournament, where the Terrapins earned a No. 4 seed and reached the Sweet 16 before losing to Florida.
Not everyone was happy with Willard's decision to leave Maryland for Villanova, as his move reignited some controversy around coaches changing schools.
But, guys. I've got to say. Kevin Willard is a certified vibe destroyer. Imagine taking on a massive project at work. Arguably, the most significant project you've ever taken on. And right before you get ready to tackle that big project, you tell your team that there's a slight chance you might not be back here.
Maryland's Kevin Willard seems to be the frontrunner for the Villanova job if he and Maryland doesn't get on the same page.
