  1. If Beard takes Ole Miss to the Final Four, we'll see if he gets looked at or not the next time the Kentucky job comes open. Unless we're all assuming Mark Pope is just the man to right the ship. Of course, we're a long ways away from Ole Miss doing anything significant just yet. It's just not much of a prediction when Ole Miss didn't even make the tournament last year. Not much to go on. Miller in much the same situation.
  2. If Beard takes Ole Miss to the Final Four without melting down in some way he might get a different level of consideration. He's not going to get considered when Ole Miss didn't make the tournament. But the chances of Pope meeting the expectations of Kentucky fans feels pretty slender to me, so he'll get another shot at the job in due time.
  3. Jerritt Elliott's new contract. https://volleyballmag.com/texas-nebraska-volleyball-notes-041124/ Appropriately titled for a Longhorn Network show.
  4. I don't think he would. But I didn't think any of this would unfold. I'm just trying to play out the chaos in a way that most involves my various fan agendas.
  5. Looks that way. It's hilarious either way. I would have enjoyed rooting against Scott Drew at Kentucky, but I'll enjoy rooting against him at Baylor all the same.
  6. When Andy Enfield took the SMU job, I told all of you the only way this can go is that Scott Drew is going to end up at Kentucky. You laughed at me then, but who's laughing now? BTW, I'm rooting for Jerome Tang to take the Baylor job. Maybe Beard takes the KState job and then Ole Miss hires Gillespie. Why not?
  7. I thought that's the way it was going to be for the rest of my life for UT sports. Particularly football, men's basketball, and baseball. Narrator: It wasn't.
  8. Wetlich, too, for that matter. Wetlich was even worse than Smart. What a terrible time to be a Texas basketball fan.
  9. I will always be proud of UT for how patient the administration was with Shaka Smart. My sanity was a much lower priority, as it should be. All I could think about was how proud I was of everyone responsible for keeping him on, as I beat my head against a wall for 5 of those 6 years. I don't care who anyone cites, if Terry misses the tournament the next two years he shouldn't be the head coach at Texas any more.
  10. They did not. I mean, they thought about it before the tournament but the tournament run sealed it. I don't know why people want to dismiss the Elite Eight berth. Tournament performance simply is THE metric college coaches are measured by. There's not really another that comes close. Then you look in the rafters, and it's not exactly brimming in Elite Eight banners. Yes, it was Beard's team and program that was built and Terry inherited it. But he also inherited it under adverse conditions and righted the ship. It's going to be fine. We just have to live long enough to see it. Either Terry is going to get this right or he's going to be fired and CDC will go out and hire his main target. Because that's what he does.
  11. I feel like you have a different view of human nature than I do. It won't die because it's controversial, it's topical as long as Terry is the head coach, and people have passionate opinions on the subject. It's pretty easy for someone to offer an opinion that someone else will disagree with. Like Red Bull, that gives threads wings.
  12. Chris Beard "no longer considering Arkansas job." Either he was told no, or the chances of him being told no were too high to risk it.
