Please, if Dolson does his due diligence in finding the next coach for IU, and he decides Beard is the best answer, don’t go straight to social media or the forums and crucify/bash Beard. Be a true IU fan and support, or jump on a different college’s bandwagon. It’s not like any of the crying would have an effect after the fact.
U of L went after him hard after last season. I guess they don't have a desire to win. I think he is a great coach. Won at a school with zero resources. Took over a bad BIG school and is leading the conf 3/4 of way through. Yeah he has IU ties but name me another coach his age that has his resume?
I’ve read that in the past he’s made comments about being interested in coaching at IU if the opportunity ever came.
He took a school you've never heard of to the Final Four. In his first year UM and in first place with a replenished roster. He beat Painter last night.
You've got it backwards, only reason that he might be interested is because of ties to IU. I think there are plenty of big time programs that would take May. He is like 43(?) and could the coach for decades.
He’s 48 and in the same class as Stevens. Crazy the amount of success Stevens has had in this short amount of time. Dusty is good but Stevens is on another level.
Why would he be viable the next time around?
Once you’ve been branded as a “habitual domestic abuser” from one incident (remind people he was married prior to this with no history or reports of abuse, has 3 daughters with his former wife), you are always going to carry that one incident the remainder of your career.
Be it right or wrong, public perception seems to "fade" as time goes by. Rick Pitino is halfway back from being a total sleaze-ball. Plus, people can change their behavior and nothing but time will prove if that is true. I mean, hell, I quit drinking at least once a day. When I quit for a few years, then I might crow about it.
