Beard whipped his last Ole Miss into shape, I expect he’ll do the same here.

So inappropriate...yet if it's good enough for the state of Mississippi's flagship institution of higher education, it's gotta be fair game for the internet.

'Mississippi's flagship institution of higher education'--low bar.

No one cares anymore.

Let me be clear, I am not condoning what was alleged.

But man, innocent until proven guilty is completely gone in todays society. Anything that comes out, the individual is immediately guilty even if charges are not pressed and the full details of the situation never come out.

Again, not condoning anything. But drinking was probably involved. She said she started it and then he defended himself but never strangled her. She said in the police report she was strangled. Is it possible she was super upset and made something up initially at 1215 in the morning? Is it possible she was hurting and thought Something happened and as time went on realized that it played out slightly different than what she portrayed? Is it possible that it did indeed happen and she decided to speak out and protect him?

All these are very plausible. And I hope that she finds the help she needs if something did indeed happen. And he then should be prosecuted and be banished. But until that point, I think it’s extremely unfair to think he should never have a job again.

There is truth here. There is also rampant privilege and politics still yet today when it comes to accountability and punishment.

You’re not wrong about how these are handled. I think because we’ll never know the real details, and there is likely a lot of money involved, it’s easy to believe the original accusation that she retracted. Not saying it’s fair.

Winning trumps everything. From college to the pros. If you can win games people will have amnesia about your past. It never fails. Integrity, eh who needs it. Morals, for the birds. Win games make money everyone happy.

She can take back whatever statements she wants but the injuries in the police report were real. And Texas ain't firing CHRIS BEARD unless they absolutely have to.

I guess Beard missed the memo where he is supposed to coach at Liberty before he gets another P5 job.

Innocent until proven guilty is a criminal legal standard that has absolutely no bearing on the ability of people to have an opinion. Society doesn't need to abide by it and people are fully entitled to their opinions as to someone's guilt or innocence.

I never said people can’t have an opinion. I just think it’s a little rediculous for people to say he should never coach again or dismiss a school for hiring someone when all the details are not known. The guy is a hell of a college basketball coach. Schools are concerned about winning. My point, without knowing all the details I don’t see an issue with hiring this guy.

As I said earlier. The guy should be blackballed if more concrete evidence comes out and never coach again. But until more details I don’t see why someone wouldn’t hire this guy. He brought Texas tech to a national championship game for crying out loud.

Is the AD the same guy that fired Freeze?
