I don't believe there's enough crow for all the people on this board to eat if Beard is hired lol

Let me rephrase, I don't own enough underwear to make up for how many pairs I will inevitably piss in from laughter if Beard is hired

A lot of this guy talk.....

This statement is insane. 

 

Not really. Here are Beard's records at Power 5 schools (omitting the shortened, final season at UT):

18-14 (6-12)

27-10 (11-7)

31-7 (14-4)

18-13 (9-9)

18-11 (9-8)

22-12 (10-8)

20-12 (7-11)

21-9 (10-7)

Take away a big year 3, and that's very Woodson-esque.

If I showed you that resume with any other name attached to it, people wouldn't get nearly as excited as they do when it's Chris Beard. And that's before we even get into the baggage.

How many 25 point losses does Beard have?

15 point?

Not being argumentative. Legit question.

IU is making an investment when hiring the next coach.  The analogy doesn’t really apply.  It isn’t about ‘forgiveness’. 

I also agree with this - the hire isn't about forgiveness.  My analogy was meant to imply that just because he has had some patterns of behavior before that are "bad" or "wrong" doesn't mean he can't change.  If others don't believe people are capable of change, that's their opinion.

Do I think he will be our new head coach? No

Do I "*want* him as our next head coach?  Not really.

Do I walk away from being a fan of the program if we hire him (assuming we did vast due dilligence and SD truly believe Beard is a changed/reformed man)? No

That's totally fair. I'm just talking final records. I have no doubt Beard's teams are consistently more competitive. But I don't think people would sign up for those end results.

People keep saying "Beard wins." But he actually doesn't.

You're  either a woman, like to argue or under the of 30. The "because of Knight" might make you all 3. 

Huh??? Beard took TTU to an Elite 8 and then the Natty in back to back seasons. He also had UT top 5 in the country in just his second season before being dismissed. He took Little Rock to the tourney and beat Purdue as well….I know you don’t like him and that’s fair, but to say he’s not a good coach is extremely false.

   I would take either of these guys lol

Trilly posting last night he heard so much random stuff regarding IU yesterday. Supposed to update this morning.

The past two seasons 8 of his losses were by 15+ and three of those eight were by 25+.

You could say that about pretty much every coach we’ve talked about.  Huge crow eating day if Stevens is hired.  Same if it’s a mid major coach that we turned out nose up at.

Thank you! The SEC has been absolutely loaded the last two years. I'm sure this has effect.

But why?

True story:  my neighbor burnt my house day twenty years ago (he was a pyromaniac).  I can forgive him and still not want him to be my neighbor again.

Wrong.  I’ll support him if the university does.  They will have done their due diligence, and will know much more about the allegations than I ever would.

Kudos for giving a state university who not only would be paying him millions/year but trusting him to lead a program that brings in the amount of money that basketball does the benefit of the doubt in vetting a coach over reading a few articles on the internet and making assumptions.

He doesn’t have a blank check for Beard. I know of a couple donors who aren’t chipping in plus less NIL

....see, that's what I can't get past. You absolutely hand Stevens the "Whole Box" of blank checks and say what else can I get for you? I can't see Drew, Otz or ANY OTHER candidate getting ANYTHING close to what Stevens has been offered. Am I way off here or in la la land? lol
