Damn, this is a ringing endorsement for Beard from a pretty good source.

Sure it’s gossip. If you look up our list of candidates the one whose name pops up with numerous negative stories is Beard. Stories(gossip) from way back. You think it would fly for him to be out alone in a college bar while coaching in b town? Anyway I’m not going to argue anymore about it.
And on which thread was the one with a guy who knew Pat Knight. Said he had to bail him out at TT a couple times. And the video that was posted. I think the preponderance of the evidence shows that he has an alcohol problem at the least. I’d imagine there are dozens of more stories out there.

From what I know about Beard’s history, I’d be just fine with him being hired. People make mistakes.

But I don’t think it’ll happen. I think we’ll hire one of those other “great coaches” who will turn out to not be so great when he gets here. And I think we’ll be right back here discussing his replacement in a few years.
Do you know anyone else whose mistakes include beating and biting their girlfriend? Just curious if you’d so easily forgive if it happened to someone you knew.
 
People are full of shit and slander although they know nothing. I’ve spent a lot of time around Beard. Not aware of any ongoing personal struggle. I’m not aware of any issues with his first wife or from his 3 daughters. Ask Pat, Downing and Robinson. They worked with him closely for years
According to a poster on here, Pat did have something to say. Said he was a wild man and he had to bail him out from jail a couple times at TT. No idea if this is true, but it was posted here or maybe Premie.

So if he was sitting at the Nick's downstairs bar drinking a couple of Ruby Reds? I would offer him my bucket

Ask the Indy radio guy...Querey? He was his room mate
 
Some envision him as the devil. After 30 years of mediocrity, at best, IU needs a winner. If the only holdup is a DV incident where there were no charges then IU should absolutely hire him as he’s probably the best coach available. If IU wants to sit on its high horse and project something that didn’t happen, well, they deserve to continue to be a shit program for eternity.
Project something that didn’t happen? Lol
 
Funny coming from someone who has openly admitted to “bringing my sorority girls out in bikinis in front of recruits”. It’s okay to to promote sexual exploitation of girls for recruits I guess. Go take your self righteous ass elsewhere.

Lmao. That’s not what I said. Your memory isn’t too great and you’re definitely reaching. It must be a weird feeling to make excuses for beating women. Wonder how many chances you’d give someone who beat up your wife or daughter?

Honestly, that would depend. What were the circumstances? Was there alcohol involved? What precipitated it? Who started the physical altercation? Was it an isolated incident? How extensive was it?

I’ve never struck a woman in my life. I certainly don’t condone it and I’ve taught my sons that it is never OK to do it. I’m not saying it was OK in Beard’s circumstance.

But we all do things we regret doing. It’s certainly possible that the sum total of his is a dealbreaker. But, from what I’ve read about it, I don’t think that’s the case.

Never heard that story. But a simple public record check would clear that up.

A good source? Only if you want to know how to pay players, knock up the wife of the equipment manager and pay for her abortion, or deliver hookers to his players. I'm sure I'm forgetting some of his other greatest hits.

Rock solid guy to listen to.
You don't think his opinion on basketball coaching is valid?

Beard has one incident that any of us know of. Sorry, I'm not even accepting your "story", as anything but a story. You and Zeke have said there are tons of cases of his bad behavior, and the only other one I've heard is your silly yarn, and some old video posted by a writer butthurt he left for TX. Do I think it would fly for him to go out to a college bar alone? No. You have recent cases of this at Ole Miss, or is this another of the many silly accusations and fabrications said here? You're not going to argue about it because you know how asinine it is. I'm not saying hire Beard, I'm saying don't bend to the opinions of others and do your own background. If there are these litany of drunken and abusive cases, it will take an afternoon for an investigator to find them, and you cross him off the list. There's another poster on here who says he was around Beard a lot at TX Tech and he says he and PK still have a relationship and he thinks he would be great at IU. That's more meaningful to me than your story.
 
Correct. Because she didn’t want him charged. She had lacerations, bruises and BITE MARKS! Many victims of domestic violence choose not to press charges for a variety of reasons.
Biting someone in a domestic dispute seems like a very primal form of bestiality, a last ditch tactic of dominance better suited for an African savanna than America’s suburbia.
 
The forum must have something like 25 pages across several threads rehashing the same stuff about Beard. Ooof.

UK, UL, and UM didn’t consider him. It’s pretty clear what IU will do and also what UNC will do when they look for a new coach in the next year or so. He is very hard for big brand programs to hire.

Like I said. I’m not arguing about it anymore.

you have no idea if a lot of the shit you've spouted on here is true, but it hasn't stopped you from posting it. If that poster was Victormyboy, that "story" was ridiculous. A link is not hard to find and post. otherwise it's more crap and can't be taken seriously after your obvious bias.

THCG seems very credible and claims first hand experience with the guy. I'll tend to believe that over the folks who clearly have a particular belief and axe to grind and also are clearly posting out of their *ss. You and others have claimed there are tons of accounts and now you're saying arrests, that should be easy to find. I'm not an internet sleuth, but I'm sad to say I've probably spent a couple hours searching for such claims and verifications, and I couldn't find it. I did find some concerning claims about his fiance in about 1/20th the time looking that does point to her being unstable and aggressive/violent. I know that doesn't matter to you or fit your agenda, but I did find more evidence of that than this drunken and abusive history Beard supposedly has.

I’m going against my earlier post but needed to defend myself. It wasn’t me. It was posted before. I heard from my IU athletics buddy. I’m like the third person who mentioned it. By the way they are still friends and I never said they weren’t for those saying so. Oh and if it is Beard I’ll say “let’s roll”.
 
^^^^cuckoo^^^^^
Serious question for you, teach. What are you going to do when Beard is named coach?

Getting pretty smoky in my neck of the woods. And Cav isn't even here.
