Nobody thinks he's returning this season regardless of how this plays out. At least I don't think anybody does. I don't.
Yes or No, will Chris Beard be the coach of the Men's Basketball team at the University of Texas at Austin for game #1 of next season?

Has it been discussed that they’re going to pay the woman off, she recants her story, the charges get dropped, he claims pure innocence and they reinstate him?

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.

There are some things that could happen where he can and should come back.
I can't think of a single scenario, even a highly implausible one, that should allow for Beard to stay.

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.

I don't know. I am very disappointed that he hasn't already been fired.

This would be a better point if literally anyone had said that.
Burt M said "any scenario where Beard stays involved his fiancée being on his side, signing an affidavit of non-prosecution and posting a statement saying it was all her fault"

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.

It's cute you think CDC has the final word on coaching hires at Texas in football and/or basketball. Post less.
I am open to the idea that CDC isn't the shot caller on those 2 hires, but, he will be the one with his ass on the chopping block if both tank.

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.

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.

Hugh Freeze just got another big time SEC job for fuck’s sake.
This is where you and I disagree. A world of difference between paying players (which is now legal) and lying about Houston Nutt (likely at the direction of the AD now at A&M) compared to a Felony Strangulation charge against a woman.

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.

Urban Meyer is running around fingering buttholes in public
Was Urban charged with felony strangulation?
As for CDC, well, if you don't think the way the Sark & Beard hires have turned out impact his standing with the people who control his employment, I think you are being naive.

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.

Do you believe your employer has the right to police your personal relationships? Legally or morally? Think carefully before you answer.
My employer? No. I haven't signed a contract with any provision that allows for this.
Chris Beard signed a contract with the above clause.

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.
