Beef with the administration if I’m remembering right 

Yes with AD and also mentioned about staying too long at one place as a head coach. He thought it was time for a fresh start!

1. SD has been courting BS for over a year

2. SD and BS recently travelled to New Mexico together to visit the set of a tv show 

3. They are closer than most recognize

4. 10 days ago talk began to heat up as we announced CMW’s imminent departure 

5. Insiders claim SD has his man lined up 

6. Throughout the week more and more chatter builds to the point that even skeptics, naysayers, and casual fans start to take note

7. More insiders arrive with corroborating information that continues to confirm that there is smoke coming from BS direction

8. the consensus is no announcement will be made before early to mid-March; the end of our season.

9. A few poster hint that it could be post All Star break at the earliest 

10. things reach a fever pitch yesterday.

11. Negotiations go back and forth with IU agreeing to meet BS stipulations 

12. Every insider chimes in, indicating we have our man. BS to IU is imminent 

13. Our insiders run in different circles and hear from different sources— some from the Athletic Dept, some from boosters, some from board members 

14. BUT early afternoon BS is no longer a candidate???

If BS wasn’t interested, why meet?

If BS wasn’t interested why negotiate?

If BS had two weeks why yesterday?

If BS was a ‘no’ couldn’t he have been more definitive in his denial?

I said yesterday that if BS signed, they have to announce quickly to protect the narrative. The only alternative is KAYFABE— to make things appear different than they actually are. WHY? We have a coach. It could be a humiliating distraction for him and the team. ALSO, BS and the All Star break is happening now. Would he want to make the weekend about him? Not likely.

in my view the evidence is clear. Until we hire someone else; or BS says ‘I will not coach at IU last year,’ I will choose to BELIEVE he’s still in play.

That is all a great fictional narrative. Look at the Zagoria report about Byington. He got publicly humiliated by Cig for making up a story. None of the Stevens to IU stuff was ever true.

I can't hardly keep up with you guys. Serious question, do you guys have nothing else to do with your time, but post on here? I'm retired and still can't find the time to read every post, much less post much. 

I have a retired guy that drives truck for us and he says he is busier now then when he worked full time! Lol

Much like Steuben, I believe Beard would fly as straight as humanly possible if hired. I think that's how much he wants this job. Besides, I dont care if he's in a bar drinking or not. If he truly is out in Oxford getting drunk and still turning Ole Miss, of all places, into a top 25 basketball team, more power to him
Yep

I will say that the Goodman tweet was almost genetically engineered to allow people to see whatever they want to see in it. It could 100% be Brad saying he has no interest in the job. But it could also be what you would expect someone would say when they need to buy a couple more weeks before a hiring announcement. 

It's almost like Brad and Jeff were totally messing with everyone here.

If Zagoria was wrong; why couldn't Goodman be?

Not saying the above is true, just saying.

The risks are bigger.  Hire him and every media piece will mention how IU got comfortable with his DV issues.  Fair or unfair IU will be associated with DV which is bad for our brand/image.  Some donors and fans will be upset, so we have division there.  If he has a repeat issue, and he continues to drink which doesn’t help, Scott is 100% fired and maybe Pam too.  No other coach brings these risks.

It’s hard to see how this could work.  If he had quit drinking and shown how he changed and called Pam/Scott to explain how different he is and how nothing will go wrong… maybe.  I see no signs of that, UK, UM, and UL didn’t look at him.

Have you heard any such stories about how Ole Miss is "comfortable" with domestic violence?  Is that school now "associated with domestic violence"? I don't follow them at all but I haven't read or seen anything about it. Personally, I think if he makes it through 2 seasons without any incidents then there won't be as much talk. Yes, people will remember but it won't be like it just happened.

Yea all the articles when he was hired mentioned it and there were questions about morals and ethics at Ole Miss.

Whatever, like it or not no big brand programs/schools are looking at him.  Personally, if Scott and Pam looked into him and got comfortable I could live with it.  It just seems very unlikely.

Random question while we wait for the latest rumor - is World Wide Wes still a thing or did NIL and Kentucky basketball no longer being cool move that guy elsewhere?

I believe he became obsolete.  (I have no idea, I just haven't heard his name in years)

This is a really good summary of the last two weeks.

You could have also told me it was a quote from a post 4 years ago and I would have had a hard time refuting it. It's kind of insane how much people are falling for this again.

How would you even know that nothing about it is true?

Beard’s no riskier than a lot of the other names being thrown out. His risks are just different. I’d feel more comfortable with that risk than the other because the off court stuff is entirely within his control. You could do everything right basketball wise but still not get the results IU wants. Beard is as good a bet at getting those results as any coach out there. 

Beards made it out of the first weekend twice in ten years. He’s no sure thing anymore than most of these other candidates. He carries the same basketball risks in addition to the off the court risks.
