Men hitting women is a huge problem. Women being abusive to men is a substantial (and unaddressed) problem. Rich guys with unlimited resources make poor decisions about crazy women and ruin their careers. We all agree on this.
It is on CDC to look in to Beard's relationship with this lady and to figure it all out. When CDC hired Beard, he had been with this gal for about a half decade and still hadn't married her. Is that not a red flag?!? In 30 seconds on the Google machine I found this:

"She (Fiance, Randi Trew) may have more to do with Beard leaving than some think. She was asked to resign or be fired from Frenship for abusing players. She would never get hired as a coach in the Lubbock area again. He asked Tech to hire her in the administration department and was told no. I suspect that was part of the agreement with him going to TU."
Surely someone at Texas did some digging on Randi, correct? Someone must have talked to her previous employer. This woman and Beard were engaged, they were a package deal. The buck stops with CDC. I am not saying he should have a crystal ball. I am saying that I am confident he found out this relationship had issues and he still pulled the trigger.
