    Firing someone with a multi-million dollar contract doesn’t happen on Twitter time.

    Basketball & Football are the 2 biggest college sports. Has the head coach in either of those 2 sports, at any FBS university, ever been arrested for a violent felony charge related to a female in their life? If anything like this has happened, I can't recall it. We are setting the standard in how to deal with this. I disagree with you and I think our action should have been immediate when he was arrested for felony strangulation.

    Now is the time to slow down, collect the information and do your due diligence. Bellmont will handle it the right way.

    Everything you are saying makes sense.....IF this were the regular dismissal of a regular state employee. Optics matter in this case. Timing matters.

    Also, I am, very nervous (as each hour passes without Beard being fired) that someone is trying to workout a way for Beard to stay. If they have a video of her saying "I am going to walk into that room, break his glasses and start a fight that gets Chris fired. Screw him!!!"  Beard would still need to go.

    No one ever said those things would be true, but don’t let that keep you from white knighting against strawmen to make yourself feel better. 

    You proposed a theory where Beard could stay and a key part of that was the fiancee accepting full blame. This would be meaningless to the University of Texas. It isn't about what actually happened in this case. It should be, but it isn't. Too many legitimate victims take the blame to stay on the gravy train. Everyone seems to know this except for you.

    Why do you have such a bone to pick with CDC?

     

    We're all different. 99% of my sports interest is in UT Football. I have always felt the Sark hire was a poor decision. The team exceeded my expectations this year but I think that was in spite of, and not because of, Sark. That is why I have a bone to pick with CDC.

    I for one did not see Dykes win the conference in year one.

    My apologies. I should have said going undefeated to the regular season and going to the CFB playoffs,

    Because expecting CDC to predict someone without a criminal history is going to commit felonious violence based on the fact that their relationship may or may not be a little erratic is moronic. 

    You also keep comparing the Beard situation to Sark, which makes no sense. Sark may not be the best football coach, but hiring him doesn’t come with the kind of “consequences” you seem to be implying. 

    This isn't about CDC predicting anything. I think their relationship issues were known and discussed by a hiring committee. Even if they weren't, when an important hire like this goes bad (and this is really bad), regardless of the reasons why, the person accountable faces consequences.

    When I bring up Sark, I certainly don't mean to be implying that he has gone off the wagon or has any personal or family issues. There is every reason to think he is being an excellent person. It is purely about performance. We've seen Aranda win the conference in year 2 and Dykes win the conference in year one. Sark has better players, more resources and isn't performing nearly as well.

    I do think that the people he reports to are very disappointed in these 2 (most important) hires of CDC. It doesn't matter why both went wrong. It only matters that they went wrong.

    I’m not sure what y’all do for a living, but as a college professor I’ve seen hiring committees discuss spouses all the time behind closed doors 

    I've seen it as well, which is why I beat that drum.

    Also, just in my personal experience, people who blow important hires, regardless of the reasons why, take it on the chin. CDC's 2 most important hires have been poor. It doesn't matter why. These are high stakes with millions on the line. I am surprised that so many people here think there won't be consequences for him.

    Do you believe that clause gives the University the right to tell you who you can be in a relationship with? I sincerely do not understand your position.

    Tell me? No.

    It does, however, make it very clear to Chris Beard that any conduct (even if it is from a personal relationship) on his part that reflects poorly on the University of Texas can lead to his termination.

    How many of your employers dug deep into your personal relationships before hiring you? 

    I replied to this but I don't see that response. If this is a double response - my apologies.

    I am a regular guy in a regular nothing job. I don't make millions. I'm not a state employee. I don't have a contract. I think you knew your response was silly before you posted it.

    "Hey there is some stuff floating around about your gf/fiancé/fiancée, everything good?"

    "Everything's fine"

    If it went any further than that then it would be shocking (if it even went that far). He's a basketball coach with no known history of any sort of trouble, why would CDC question him about a his gf & what he thinks is the acceptable amount of time between divorce-dating-marriage? 

    Our coaches talk publicly about our players' families and the impact they have. You don't think our AD digs deep on the fiancee of a possible employee to whom we will pay millions? If CDC didn't do this, shame on him.
