I watched Ole Miss yesterday and they struggled getting to 50. It was like watching paint dry. 

I watched beard  win at every single spot he’s been at with limited resources besides Texas and he had them ranked #1 in the country before he was let go.  Just hire the proven winner

Pearl and auburn have lost 3/4. Mark him off the list.

He's been distracted by his IU contract talks

I’m behind the Michigan bench, 13 rows up. I’ll post if I spot him.

Not my cup of tea but appreciate your fandom.

“Will Wade wants the IU job above all other openings but can’t even get an interview” is not evidence of an incompetent search, it’s evidence that the search is complete

That could be a very good reason.

I’ll see you in four years when we are hiring another coach then. I’m sure beard will be at North Carolina or Kansas by then.

Good coach. He's older than Woody, though. I think he's like 70.

One pre-requisite should be that they should be younger than 70, I think. LOL

Barnes is 70 although my grandmother didn't like him.

I don't know, Pope was a UK alum and maybe they liked Kelsey more?  UofL maybe a little more gunshy than Kentucky, but you have no idea why they weren't hired.  Don't use your own personal bias and feelings to make things up.  

That wasn't what you said... You said "there's a difference" between not hiring and passing on a hire. I need you to explain the difference... instead of doing that, you made it about my personal bias. Admittedly, I don't want either of those guys, but that is irrelevant to what you said.

My point remains, neither Kentucky or Louisville hired Beard or Wade, so there had to be a reason beyond my "own personal bias". Stop being pedantic.

I think winner of the national championship games gets the Indiana job. Whether that’s by reward or punishment will be decided by social media.

Gonna need a selfie?

Well, that depends on who the guy at the end of the completed search is. It could entirely still be the sign of an incompetent search.

You watched him have two good seasons and a bunch that are 21-12 to be fair.

Indiana self reported some extra phone calls and got rid of him. Now he’s at Houston and they’re ranked in the top 10 every single year while we are on the bubble every single season 

Yes, after serving a 5 year show cause penalty... how many NCAA titles has he won at Houston? Ironically, the same number as Indiana during the same time frame.

He broke the rules at Oklahoma and Indiana still hired him... then he did it again... so yeah, we cut him loose.

The whole bet is locked now.  Does that signal an announcement incoming?

You know damn well you know the difference.  Own your comments or keep quiet pops.

I bet some, but rarely pay attention when lines are locked....but my question is this:  as it is directly under BB, does this mean it had the second most likely odds before locking?

He made some extra phone calls. And how many games has he won at Houston compared to Indiana in that time frame? lol do you think Kentucky or Kansas would of self reported some extra phone calls in the middle of final four caliber season like our stupid administration did?
