Chris Beard Arrested
-
WOW , when did this happen. I just figured e here taking back what she had said - - clear him and he comes back. - Rather he was innocent or not.
-
Any guess by anybody if we are gonna see Transfers ? - -Gonna have to wait till the end of season chances are but would be willing to bet you gonna see some transfers
-
Tang to Texas is going to be soooooo funny

it would be , just have to see on that - - -I don’t think that will happen but you never know.

P A C K W A T C H

I expected this, even after she tried to save him. The old " my face hit his fist" defense never works.
-
Wow Texas did the right thing. Beard will find another job next year or the year after.

What people fail to realize… the climate around domestic abuse has changed. What she did later to try to remove the charges has little or no impact on the follow thru by the DA unless she could bring substantial evidence proving it to be a hoax, which then puts her at risk of prosecution for bringing false charges. Too many victims in the past were threatened if they didn’t drop charges so the legal authority is now strictly with the DA’s office.
Evidently, there exists significant evidence in this case. UT did the right thing. They would look horrible if their only reason for keeping him was the case didn’t advance to trial. On top of that… they would only have his word that further abuse wouldn’t occur. Imagine the hot water UT would be in if they went along and kept him then he had further trouble?
By chance, if this was a hoax, Beard’s attorney would have brought very convincing evidence to the university first so they might keep him.
This is a case of “reading between the lines.”
Sadly… I wonder if Chris is on a suicide watch. I hope his sanity is intact!
-
Wichita State is looking for a new coach and they already have experience with a violent coach!
(dirty… cheap shot)
-
Here is what I was looking for…
“In the days after the arrest, Texas officials invited Beard and his representatives to lay out a case for why they should not fire him, according to multiple sources familiar with those conversations.”
If Beard was completely innocent (the only situation where he should keep his job), then his attorney should have “beat UT to the punch” (sorry for the pun) and asked for this first. Obviously… he did not present clear evidence to the university showing complete innocence.

you know - – -and I know to much there to be completely innocent
-
@drgnslayr fans would love it!
-
Tang 2 Texas plz
-
@drgnslayr wonder where their relationship will go from here?
-
This is exactly what I thought should happen. UT make the decision based on the findings of the police investigation, regardless of where this goes legally because of what his girlfriend is doing right now trying not those her meal ticket.
-
One interesting name I’ve seen floated out there as a potential coach for UT is John Calipari. The natives are getting restless with the direction of the program recently amd Cal seems to have issues adapting to the new world of college basketball recruiting with NIL and the transfer portal mostly overtaking AAU/Shoe influences.
Austin would be a great place for Cal. They have money, the expectations are lower than Kentucky, and UT is still a school that can attract big time recruits to go there and the fan base won’t care as much about being an NBA factory like they 15 years ago.

-
Probably a place he’ll have to go for a year or two to clean up his image before a P5 school will take on his risk.
-
I suggest counseling would go a long ways to help his image!

Maybe they are into kink. Spanking, etc. I’m sure there are plenty of kinky groups out there to join and take their show offline from the public so they stop hurting large groups of people (like UT basketball players).
But seriously… I believe this case should probably go to trial and this woman needs to be questioned why she pulled a 180 under oath. Very likely Chris would be found guilty of more than a choke.

I’m doubtful Beard has a future in basketball.
-
I’m imaging Rick Barnes has a secret smile on his face. But seriously… he probably doesn’t because that guy is a legit human being.
Texas was stupid to dump Barnes. I said it then, I say it now. Barnes couldn’t take the program further not because of his actions… it’s the climate in Austin.
That proves out by watching them continually self-destruct. They make decisions based superficially… like by seeing big $ contracts with the SEC.
Let’s see how this works out. Will they “rule” the SEC like they often did the B12? ha… no friggin’ way! They will become the next Nebraska… a school that should beg for the magical past years in the B12 when they were relevant.
Schools like Alabama and LSU lick their chops to beat up Texas teams. They consider them a bunch of spoiled pansies. And they are right.
-
The public has a way of forgetting things after a bit of time. A year goes by, and will anyone be worrying about where Chris Beard is?
Unless Beard is going to leave coaching and retire, I have the opinion he’ll be coaching again in the next 1-3 years. While I don’t agree with that, coaches usually get a bunch of 2nd chances. I think it also depends on the outcome of his case.
Beard made it to the top and didn’t get to stay there long. I’m sure that’s going to eat at him for a long time & rightfully so, its earned

Can we compare this to greggggggg?

He can go get drunk with Marsha and his wife. Maybe they can invite their old drinking buddy Chris Janz to come join the party ( if he has time).
-
@drgnslayr Austin is a lot like Lawrence, reversed. They live, breathe and bleed Longhorn football and tolerate basketball. I’m not saying this strictly because I’m a Jayhawk. I lived in Austin for a year, my dad’s been there for 40 or so. It’s the way it is.
-
A tale as old as time.
-
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I’m very upset. You know me, momma’s boy.
-
Not surprised. He’ll be coaching next year somewhere, i’ll bet. Maybe we should chip in and buy his gf a football helmet.
-
Some people want Greg Gard fired at Wisconsin and I saw someone pushing for Chris Beard or Sean Miller. I have no reason to be a Badger fan other than I lived there for 15 years of my adult life and I’d probably stop following the basketball team if they hired one of those guys.
-
Me, too!
-
The case was dropped because his girlfriend didn’t want to lose her meal ticket so she didn’t want to continue pursuing the charges against Beard.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 she saw the gravy train running dry. Someone else will pick him up which is ludicrous IMO. But look at a guy like Urban Meyer with his track record. I’m ok with some second chance but some of these coaches just appear to terrible human beings.
-
Wonder what the mother of his girls thinks? Maybe that’s why she’s his ex.

Coaching at this level is a cut throat industry and I’m sure there are many morally bankrupt people in positions that we don’t hear about their transgressions.
-
Beard will have a coaching job next year. Line set at even money.
-
@BeddieKU23 yep and he may have yet another new one the next year after UK fires Cal
-
@cragarhawk said in Chris Beard Arrested:

Only waiting on Cal to clear the way. Kentucky still has the rule of thumb on the books I believe, so Beard won’t have to rehab his image any.
-
OH man, it’d be fun to hate Kentucky with Beard at the helm.
-
@Jayblaze Beard with that much talent would be a problem! Would make them the evil empire, the heels of college basketball. Just deplorable. I’d be for it.
(To be clear I don’t think Beard should be given a shot, but he likely will; I hope it’s at a school I detest)
-
@Jayblaze It’s fun for me to hate Kentucky if the Pope was at the helm. Or anyone else.
-
@dylans And Gregg Marshall could be his assistant.
-
Louisville? They seem desperate enough…
I wonder if Beard’s ability to recruit will be hampered.
-
If the moms help decide I think it will. He’s not innocent, she just dropped the charges. There were bruises and a bite mark on her. Fans will want him hired, not sure the schools will stoop low enough to do it. Maybe if he takes some domestic abuse classes, or they get counseling. WSU fans want him! A Wichita station did a spot last pm on Isaac Brown, think it was because it’s black history month. I missed the first part. He was talking about being the first black coach at WSU and other coaches that have backed him. He said Tang was one and talks to him after games frequently. I want him to do well, the (fans?) want him gone. Marsha’s BB family tree is riddled with misogyny and violence. Chris Jans and the NMS guy. Greggggg got a lot of money in his settlement, not sure that had to happen
! Will he ever coach again?
-
Maybe Beard can be the new coach at NMSU. Could probably teach the kids how to skate.
-
@mayjay or greggggg
-
How about he goes to UK.
-

I’d put money on Louisville over Kentucky. I don’t see Kentucky being willing to deal with Beard’s baggage at this point. Louisville has always been more willing to sacrifice in that area in regards to coaches.
