You’re pretty dismissive of beating and biting a woman. I’d say that’s a little bit more than a mistake.
Hire Beard
- Thread starter cw_for_3
- Start date
Would have been quite interesting if we hired him in 2001…
Why would you guess that? I would guess they thought he was a good basketball coach and didn’t care, like it seems many of you.
Shoulda been Majerus for 4 years then step aside for Matta in 05... Wait, I've done this before lol.
Iu north says no. Wife beater. Drinker. Case closed. Iu north has spoken.
School that embraced man who said about rape 'if it's inevitable, relax and enjoy it' hires coach accused of choking his significant other.
Just don't see that happening.
Just don't see that happening.
I would guess that because they hired him. They had no particular reputation as a basketball powerhouse. No reason to take a risk on a controversial hire. They have an HR department with the same concerns as any big university.
By the way, I agree with those who think IU would pass on him. I also don't think he would leave Ole Miss after a one year, when he's got them in the top 25.
We will not dare touch beard. North has informed dolson. We will bring back woodson before touching beard! Though I would argue woodson was a controversial hire given he had ZERO experience in college.
You suspect wrong. He is one of the top coaches in College BB and has proven track results. What record are you looking at? Fine if the dropped case is why you wouldn't hire him. Making up cr@p like his coaching isn't good enough or people only want him because of ties to Knight are dumb. UNLV wanted him. Texas Tech wanted him. Texas wanted him. Ole Miss wanted him. Someone if not IU will take him from Ole Miss.
He would be a massive upgrade to what we have now. However we will have several equal to or better candidates to choose from that don't have the extra baggage.
Beard hasnt hopped around as much as you think.
He was at Texas tech 15 years total
Yep stuffed guys in trash cans, etc. But Beard has been tried and convicted in a court of law. Oh wait no just by message board guys.
Chris Beard with IU resources would absolutely succeed. That coupled with the fact he's only 51, we would have him for awhile. I am not saying he is the only option but that is the level of past success IU needs to set the bar at.
Basically no one wanted him the day after his DV incident happened, until Ole Miss did...almost 2 years after it happened. The Browns mortgaged their franchise on Deshaun Watson...there will always be teams and programs desperate enough to take on the risks.
Very good basketball coach. Personally would rather not get excited about the teams he'd likely put out there, only to have some NDA expire, or his Ex to have a change of heart and bring the story back up. Let alone come to find that the incident happened because of something ongoing that he struggles with, and something else happens at IU, or has happened since that we haven't heard about yet. IU would dump him in less than 24 hours.
I've been accused of being unrealistic with people I've been putting on my lists. How about you, and everyone else pining for Beard to be THE guy...be a little realistic about the school we all root for. It isn't a good fit, and "they" won't ever consider him, I'm sure.
We have a reputation of losing and firing a guy over phone calls.
Is that your only card you play? Did you know IU’s biggest donor isn’t even an alumni?
No, I don't believe you can. As I said, the SEC is loaded with teams and coaches right now and looks to be a meat-grinder at the top with the likes of Auburn, UK, UF, UT, TN, AB... for years to come. Compare that to the B10's top teams: PU, MSU... and? WI, UCLA or OR? With the resources at IU I think it would be much easier for a coach to project coming in and establishing yourself as a top 2-3 program in the conference and cementing high seeds. Plus, as I said, isn't the B10's revenue share greater also? Certainly fan interest is higher in bball.
I just see a pretty strong correlation between non-IU grads and those most interested in taking on a coach with issues. Maybe he's an alum and doesn't fit that description like you do, but I don't believe that's the case.
I don't know why you're not proud of your Lincoln Trail CC education. Shout it from the rooftops bro.
If he keeps his nose clean and keeps winning, yes, I beleive he'll end up at a school like that in the next few years. He can already build at Ole Miss what Purdue has, but if he were say to win the SEC and make a F4 or two and doesn't have any more issues, he'll definitely end up at an elite program, whether they hire him, or he builds it somewhere.
