Beard isn’t my first choice, but slamming him because his liquored girlfriend called the police and had him arrested and for domestic violence causing him to be charged as a criminal is b.s. The charges were investigated and DROPPED. He was punished for something he was not found guilty of by losing all that money and losing his job at a p4 school. Would Ole Miss hire him and pay him $3.4 million dollars + incentives if the charges were legitimate? Would parents let there kids play for him? When couples get drunk and fight this crap happens to common folks everyday. Just because he is a high profile individual that’s responsible for young men it’s under a magnifying glass. Again he’s is innocent of said charges. If someone is guilty of beating women I’d be the first person to burn them at the stake, trust me. 

So much wrong with this

1) He was never found not guilty, that's not what it means when charges are dropped. In all honesty I would feel better about hiring Beard if he actually went to trial and was found not guilty.

2) The charges were dropped because the victim recanted her story and refused to cooperate. Good luck prosecuting a case where you have an uncredible star witness. 

3) He was fired FOR cause at Texas and didn't even put up a fight to try and recoup nearly $25 million (that speaks volumes)

Beard is now my #1 choice, forget the rest and I hope we try to get him.

I got the game day wrong, it is Saturday. I've seen others get it wrong, too. As adamant fans (all of us on here), to get the game day wrong for a ranked home game in February is quite the indictment on the program's standing. I'm at the point personally that if my kids ask me to do something fun, rather than watch IU, I will gladly go to Chuck E Cheese - because watching IU fires me up and quite literally ruins my day (and next day).

He’s been there 11 years. Nobody would hire him at a big job during that time. And he’s went to one FF, so I don’t know about all the title talk.

Sure...Houston was the first school that came calling. But he's built a winning program, he's older, he's a future Hall of Famer..there''s no reason for him to leave. Houston is his spot...and if you don't think they're competing for Titles every year...I'm not sure what to tell you. They got another dominant team this year too. Ranked #5...and Houston of all places.

Sooo... you don't know if she punched him first? 

Who cares who hit first because that doesn't justify beating her up.

Beard will fail here just like Sampson did. Just like Beard did at Texas. 
 

There’s a reason no legit programs looked to hire either last year. Small-time miscreants that don’t have what it takes to win at a major program. 

I won’t argue the failure of Beard but the university of Mississippi is not what I would call small time

I'm checking out for a while. This place is not well today. DM's are open, I'll check them later. 

The way people are acting is probably the reason Beard might not be a good idea. The next coach is supposed to bring us together not divide us further. 

Wasn't reuniting the fan base one of Woodson's accolades and/or assigned tasks? More failure. He need to be fired!

Sounds like you might need a Diet Coke. 

[Hornsby 2,773]

I did it for Woodson... so, yeah, I could and would.

Good you would need to. You have to practice what you preach. I have never been arrested or charged with a crime but I don't consider myself morally superior to anyone. Plenty of born again Christians who have done really bad things in their past. I am not one to judge others, but hey that's just me.

Nope, I have never been arrested for anything. I have no criminal record and never done anything to deserve to get arrested

Kelvin Sampson has done more in the last 6 years at Houston than IU has done in the past 25 years.

There seems to be a whole lot of nothing going on

On the board,  absolutely. If this is about the machinations of changing coaches, interesting — wonder if we could infer a quiet sense of confidence on the horizon for Mr. Dolson.

[TheWatShot 14,491]

Damn, I click on this thread for juicy rumors about our next coach and how close we may be to getting rid of our current one...not to read all this morality mumbo-jumbo about Chris Beard. 

 

Don't get me wrong, I could get behind him if he became our coach. But this reminds me of when his big incident went down while he was at Texas and for a solid week, it was all anyone talked about on the College Bball thread. Day after day I'd click on the thread, and it was just post after post discussing the incident and the legalities of what he did. It was a slow time of the season (week before Christmas) so there weren't a ton of games going on, but I remember feeling annoyed because I simply did not care about any of it. 

 

Now...back to searching for more bread crumbs that will eventually lead me to Woodson's dismissal.

How many of you holy guys who have never made one mistake supported knight? Didn't he stuff cops in trash cans and throw plants at people to just name a few things. I have to assume you were calling for him to be fired daily?

You are thinking you are insulting people but you aren't because we all should strive to be holier than though

Is Beard still with the same woman today? If not, why? Do we know if she received payment for recanting her story? 

These are all questions I would want a private investigator to answer.

Very important questions. 

I am glad you stuck around. We needed you here on this historic page 2000 of the FIRE MIKE WOODSON spectacular!
