Hire Beard

[Tru2Irish]

Not knowing is enough to pass, for me. Intuition tells me he did it, though. There are other good coaches.

Yes there are other good coaches but that doesn't mean they want to be coach at IU. It ain't the mecca of basketball and hasn't been for years-dgecades!!! TJD tried to bring it back but Woodson has torn all that down. Get real!!! Beard is a good coach and it wasn't proven in court that he did what you say. So you must be a guilty before being proven innocent type of guy. Woodson needs gone sooner than later. He's in a rapid descent and is taking IU with him.

Have to offer Beard whatever it takes, only obvious answer for iubb.

No big name is touching this program, if UK can't pull a big name one year ago then no shot iubb is pulling any big name in a month.

Beard is in college basketball jail at ole miss and has them top 25 and playing well in the SEC, highly unlikely he would turn down a chance at IU. His past appears to be his past, he might have baggage but it was years ago and there's been no signs of it reoccurring. Fans at UT would take him back in a second

Tomorrow!

You were happy when they hired Woodson! That says all we need to know about you!

Take your meds, please!

Pick your poison if you go for a big name hire: Beard, domestic violence, which I believe he was cleared of; Pearl, recruiting violations and asst coach paying players, Pitino...too much to list. I am sure there are more examples. I think any big name is going to come with serious baggage and ego. An up and coming may be cleaner but is hit or miss. So my point is...nevermind.

I wouldn't say that, either. I think over the past decade or more of athletic hires, IU has gotten quite a few right. Moren, Cig, Yeagley, Mercer, Stanton, Aird.

I don’t disagree but the bottom line is:
You better get your two cash cow hires right.

There are 24 sports and only two pay the bills.

I’m also on record that Yeagley Jr. is a bust. Highly overrated. Now, fire away……😊

Agree on Jr. Probably a solid coach, but other schools are bringing in semi-professionals from all over the world.

Meanwhile, we get the St. Louis kids (no offense @mcmurtry66 )
