Texas fires Chris Beard

[Eric15]

Chris Beard really needed a college sports story to emerge and take the attention off him. I just wish it wasn’t Mike Leach’s passing.

Doesn't sound like it was the boyfriend.

Are we sure ? Could be a male partner who identifies as a woman

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Perp walked in his hometown. He did something baaaaad. Cops ain’t playin.

Sure weren’t many there. I though it would have been a mob scene

[Orangezoo]

Yeah.. Sadly this follows a trend with these type of things... let's hope that is the truth and not just a retraction before a future recurrence

One of those weird stories. She didn’t want him arrested why’d she call the police? If he didn’t strangle her why did she tell the police that such that it was in the police report? I’m guessing she’s now protecting him. We’ll see what the cops do. They can still charge and prosecute if they have evidence regardless of what she wants.

This is all very sad. If they had any integrity they would suspend him (with pay for all I care) for the season and let this play out however it does.

Yea, she’s just covering for him. He will be back coaching Texas.

The possibilities are
1. She made it all up. There are crazy whack jobs out there 100% for sure.

2. She wants to preserve her end of the eventual divorce settlement so she said it was all bs

I didn’t think they were married. I just assume Beard made her a generous offer.

 

[Day2]

I have to ask…Are we all reacting the exact same way we reacted to allegations against Jim Brown?

Yea lol… pretty clear.

Next step - set game suspension. Even though chris beard has been “cleared” the school will dole out some trivial suspension so it can say it takes these issues seriously…

Juwan Howard was suspended 6 games for something that was caught on film. Wisconsin coach did not "walk back" his objections to getting hit. There is also Trevor Bauer from the Dodgers situation. There is precedence for this type of incindent. We shall see if $ does the talking.

crime worked out fine for Kelvin Sampson, Rick Pitino, Frank Martin, Bill Self, etc,,,

“Officers noted a bite mark on her arm and abrasions on her face and leg.”

Allows the DA to move forward with or without his girlfriend wanting to press charges.

O'Neil: Hey Texas, what are you waiting for?

Beard, the Longhorns' second-year men's basketball coach, was charged in December with a third-degree felony after a domestic incident.

A bite mark? Jeez, most people stop biting people at the age of 4 or 5. A grown man biting another human being is kinda pathetic.

What crimes did they commit? NCAA violations usually aren't criminal.

I’m a grown man and I’ve experienced several instances of a woman requesting I bite her.

I have seen this play out in so many scenarios. Sounds like a fight, she hit him, broke his glasses, tried to hit him below the belt. (Another woman. Seems to me to be the one thing that can make a woman turn violent.)
He grabbed, restrained her (maybe tried a headlock, as it says he was behind her). She’s kicking out and struggling. Does he bite her to “get her attention”? Is she in some type of state that he is trying to snap her out of it? Is she lying now or lying then? WTFK?
If they decide to prosecute, does she leave the state to avoid being subpoenaed?
Can they realistically prosecute with her statements? Don’t see how her “statements” come into evidence if she can’t be cross-examined.
Regardless, there are some anger problems in that household. I think he ought to be suspended pending clinical discharge from a certified counselor who specializes in domestic issues.
To me, the punishment stuff will be interesting, from a legal perspective. What are his protections as a UT employee? Timelines, hearings, etc. Does his contract waive protections that other employees get, or are they better? Is he exempted in anyway from the protections that the others get because he is a head coach? Does this fall under Title IX (seems everything does, these days.)

I've never had that happen in my life. I must have dated the wrong or right girls.

I think what you meant to is: it sounds like she’s getting paid off. I don’t think there’s any argument that those marks appeared on her by accident.
