I'd given up on it, but the more his detractors here posted, the more it was obvious they were spouting based on their personal beliefs, not what was really out there. But, not considering him seemed very IU, so I thought we'd moved on. I am convinced Dolson would have done his homework and then some, with Beard, and if that's where he landed I think your concerns about having to fire him are not much more likely than any other candidate. I'm confident I have more first-hand experience with the wrong end of an abusive drunk than most on here, so it's not something I'm going to forgive if that's what someone is. If it's Beard, I'll be very excited, but I'm still not convinced. And, I don't see anyway a March announcement would be possible or make sense unless it just gets out and Ole Miss cuts him loose, ala Bill Frieder.
