Chris Beard - Coaching Candidate

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Hearing some Bloomington talk this could be real. But again, no one knows. Small to mid level donors.

Zero tolerance was Satan himself Myles Brands way of ousting Knight for BS grabbing that punks arm. But most importantly, moving Satan to his most cherished position and deservingly so, President of NCAA. He started the curse!

Zero tolerance was his way of not pissing off the fanbase but setting knight up for failure. I was honestly fine with knight being fired before zero tolerance. I was ready to move on anyway at that point. I think many people can change but knight was one who never could have

The guys at peegs are saying that they've heard that IU's stance on Facial Hair is softening and he might have a legitimate chance at being a real candidate. It started a storm on this site (and others). I personally agree with you that I just don't see it having a chance of happening for the reasons you state if the administration themselves are willing to disregard his past, which I certainly hope they aren't.

In that same discussion, the peegs guys also said their information is 2nd and 3rd hand and only a very small group of people know what's actually going on in the search. They aren't part of that group.

If the process is still adding possible candidates to the list then they're either horrifically underprepared (not likely) or they're striking out on a lot of candidates before him (also not likely).

I think its 'soft chatter', so soft it's nearly inaudible.

Closer to Mike Davis than Bob Knight. Couldn’t sum up his career more perfectly.

In some ways I'd almost like to see this. The holier than thou attitude I see from some folks could use a few more years of Woodson.

Don't think of it as adding candidates to the list. The process was to identify data that points to program success and winning. From that, a rather large list of candidates is generated. Then they narrow the list. The smart way to do that is a blind pool, where you don't automatically rule out anyone. Then if the data analysis produces three very similar candidates, but one has character questions, then you eliminate them.

I'd love Beard but if he's being seriously considered to me it means we have struck out on the top targets and it's down to Beard, mid major guys, or someone like Brownell.

I can only see it if the administration feels it has no other choice.

Just a donor who thinks he’s a top candidate.  But he’s a lower level donor.  Connected to the Hysterics so it might be more of the same

Beard is definitely a candidate. I think there’s also a candidate that nobody has any idea about. Have no idea who that is…but I think he would be very good. Just a hunch

Double blind. Always the way to go. I agree.

Also on a personal reassuring note, just talked to a former early Knight-era player whom I cross paths with ever so often at our grandsons basketball games. Said IU has vetted Beard and his transgression that got him fired from Texas wasn’t even the first or even second time it has happened. Similarly related instances in prior relationships with a repeated pattern: booze and anger problems.

He didn’t outright say Beard wasn’t a serious candidate but feel safe in drawing my own conclusions that he isn’t.

You mean the time he beat and bit a woman so bad that the cops were called and he was arrested on a felony domestic assault charge wasn't the first time!? Shocking.

I've been saying all along that there was no way this was the first time. It just doesn't start at that level, it escalates.

Hard to say which side to believe but to automatically write beard off is wrong

I'm gonna need someone to verify if that's all true.

If so let's ride.

Agree. Also checked earlier, you did accurately call the limit for IU this year was at or near 20 wins

All the haters on one side will point to the police report as proof. All the haters on the other side will point to the latest post as proof.

Unfortunately, we live in a post-truth society where BS and what-aboutism reigns supreme.

There is no point in debating or pontificating on this sh!t. Each tribe is going to pick their side and fight with the other tribe.
