To those that follow this stuff, who's on UNC's coaching hot board?  It feels like they're going to need a coach after the season too

Feels like they may be going down our path, seems like most think he will be back. I saw on their board that should but their money into football.

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

1) May if you can swing it 

2) McDermott

3) McCasland if you can get him out of TX

4) Buzz 

5) Cronin 

6) McCollum 

I’d like Devries and Byington above McCollum, but not sure they’d leave after 1 year at their current spots. Don’t find many of the other names mentioned often to be very attainable. Definitely reach out to them too. I’m hoping they’re in the process with agents/reps for all these guys and others as in doing their due diligence so they can pull the trigger asap when they’re done with their current team. No time to waste with portal season looming.

Don't disagree one bit with this paragraph.  But if you're Scott Dolson are you willing to risk your career to be that one person and possibly President Whitten's as well if she signed off on it and it blows up in the university's face?  IMO Dolson is not a gambler and he won't take that risk.  And I'm not necessarily directing my question at you but it's more rhetorical in nature.

And that’s the dilemma.

Take the chance and either become the GOAT in regards to IU ADs, or become the goat that everyone blames and wants to see burned at the stake.

 I don’t know Scott Dolson. I don’t know Pam Whitten. Can’t even imagine what they might do.

 I do know that throughout history, people who are considered great had to take a gamble at some point.

Pretty hard to argue with this. I'd have some reaches (Otz, Oats, Donovan) above McDermott (and maybe Dusty), but otherwise this looks right to me.

I agree everyone deserves a 2nd chance but it’s hard for me to give him one at a school I love.  Having a mother, wife, and daughter it would be very hard for me to support the hire, wins or not.  No place for domestic violence (and I’m not saying you condone that in any way). That’s just my opinion and it really only matters to me I guess.  Very, very good coach, just the wrong kind of crime for myself to be able to forgive. 

I might even be able to forgive what Beard did if there was any sign he was reformed. But by all accounts, he's still drinking, and he's never taken any responsibility publicly for the DV incident. So no forgiveness earned.

Which is EXACTLY why no one should conclude that a smart hire will be made this time with the same people in place.  Buckner , schmuckner, the same team is making this call…

I understand what you are saying, but I think Dolson knows better this time who to listen to and who not to listen to, I feel confident, especially after Cignetti, that he is going to get us a very good coach!

Your post reminded me that we haven’t heard much from Ted Kitchel this time around, I know he has some health problems but I am surprised he hasn’t given his two cents!

Not sure that this will make sense to some people. Hell, a lot of stuff posted here doesn’t make sense. But here’s my take on Beard.

Yes, a good coach who can win big here 

Yes, he would be divisive.He might drive off some big donors, but if he starts winning like I think he can, they’d start coming back.

Yes he’s a big risk.

All that to say. Based on his stated love and respect of RMK. Based on him outwardly expressing that he wants the IU job. I think Chris Beard would turn a new leaf in Bloomington. I think he views IU as his church, and RMK his mentor. I believe that he would not do anything that would tarnish those things he holds as so important to him. For lack of better words, I think IU would be the salvation for Chris Beard.

Whether the opportunity exists for him will require some open minds who believe in the concept of redemption. Whether the opportunity exists is going to take leadership who believes that the IU brand is strong enough to take the initial hit it will undoubtedly take, and believe that the reward is worth the risk.

I have personally seen people who have been in as low or lower places than Beard, and have changed themselves to become well respected individuals who contribute to the greater good of society. All it takes is one person, one group of leaders, to give him the chance.

 

Chris Beard was hired to coach Ole Miss for $3.25M / year, less than 3 months after being fired for cause from Texas due to his arrest for felony domestic violence. He's doing just fine without us on the "getting second chances" front.
