Texas A&M reportedly hiring Samford's Bucky McMillan as next head coach to replace Buzz Williams

Texas A&M has found its replacement for Buzz Williams.

The Aggies struck a five-year deal to make Samford's Bucky McMillan their next head coach on Friday night, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel and Jeff Borzello. Texas A&M and McMillan are finalizing a five-year deal.

McMillan spent the last five seasons at Samford, where he's compiled a 99-52 record. He's led the Bulldogs to a pair of Southern Conference titles and one NCAA tournament appearance, though they were knocked out in the first round of last year's tournament. It was their first appearance in the event since 2000.
