Texas hiring Chris Beard

[Cusefan0307]

What about Musselman?

This one is too easy TB. They have their own Jim Boeheim who is winning 25 games a year at Texas Tech. The only way he doesn’t get the job is if he turns it down and I don’t see that happening. I bet he gets Coach K money.

If he’s an alum he HAS to be your top choice.

 

[Newhouser]

He has underachieved big time.

Yes I am aware of his record. This is a step down and in my experience people rarely do that of their own free will.

Marquette is a top 25 college basketball job.

They have tremendous local support.
Good history.
In terms of college basketball Shaka got a great job.

Texas is all about potential. Basketball will never be more than entertainment between football season for them.

Marquette basketball is the school’s top athletic program.

Smart did well. He wasn’t going to keep the Texas job after gag this year and he got a good job. It’s not really a step down. I put the jobs pretty close with Texas having the ability to overpay.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Marquette also has a healthy basketball budget.

 

[djorange1989]

they should hire Archie Miller, he did great when under the big spotlight at Indiana. Ok, but seriously folks, $4 million buyout to get Beard is chump change for Texas, so if he wants to go there, that is your winner

 

[djorange1989]

I thought Porter Moser might be a decent bet to go to Marquette if he is willing to leave Chicago, but not happening now obviously.

Writing was on the wall, his days were numbered

 

[Madbiker]

why would Shaka do that? Was he getting canned?

Shaka reads the tea leaves and gets out of Texas ahead of the mob.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Just do it Texas

 

[Sherman20]

Beard for sure. He’s an alum.

Beard should take it. Lubbock and west Texas are a wasteland.

 

[orangefog]

Just do it Texas

Alright alright alright

What mob? Like 5 people care about bball at ut.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Drew has nowhere to do but down at Baylor I'd just throw money at him if I were UT.

Or hire the Albeline Christian coach and let him grow into the job. You'll always have talent at Texas.

 

[samspann1]

Just do it Texas

Coach McConaughey gets older, his players stay the same age.

 

[kcsu]

Alright alright alright

That kid makes me puke

 

[texascpa]

How about T-bag Ivey?? lol Just adding a little tourney memory and karma for us.Remembering Hakim Warrick’s “Texas Tea Bag” Dunk on Royal Ivey & “The Block” on Lee

oops another better linkHakim Warrick 2003 Final Four Dunk

I still have have that t-bag jpg and use it for my wallpaper at times.

The Athletic had a good piece on this. Shaka getting a lot of one and done / two and done types that were leaving based on potential before they ever really performed at Texas. He'll get a different type of player at Marquette.

Beard, Oats and can see them going after Bennett. They think they're the biggest fish in the ocean.

Financially they may be

So like Syracuse?

He didnt fit in "culturally" and heard the whispers and knew he'd be fired next year for anything less than an elite eight

I think I read somewhere that Shaka is originally from Wisconsin. So being closer to family had to be a big factor as well.

 

[Bayside44]

Guys that will be "ready" by their second contract was the sorta quote. So in a lot of ways yes.

He'd do well here and I'm not the only one who thinks that. That's all I'll say.
