Beard has recruited some one and done guys I thought? 

Wasn't that stud freshman on the Elite Eight team a one-and-done guy, the year before Tech made the title game? He's been mostly hurt in the NBA, though.

  • The absolute simping for a guy who beat his girlfriend and got himself fired for being an asshole is pathetic. There should be more to life than your sports fandom 

  • that's an attitude that would make sense to me if i went to tech

    I don't completely understand the poo pooing of this hire. Maybe expectations were too high regarding who Texas was going to be able to bring in? Sometimes there's a candidate that's such a perfect fi

Beard's only put two guys in the NBA off the top of my head, and Ramsey who was the one one and done last year, went a lot lower than expected

I'm in the camp that doesn't like taking good coaches from conference teams. Maybe in this case since Beard is an alum , or if you think he is destined to leave regardless -the  calculus is a bit different. But in general, I like having a strong conference with quality coaches. 

WTF?

I'm in the camp that likes getting the best coach possible.  Sorry if that makes Tech worse.  But in general, I like winning the most games possible.

Recruiting isn't his issue, he's been landing top-50 guys; it's retaining guys. His roster churn every year is impressive; some of it is his focus on the transfer portal and some of it is running guys off. He has 2 leaving this year, 3 the year before, 4 the year before that. Tech's Verbal Commits page is large and full of grayed out names.

Welp if you trust wells at IT, he’s hearing Tech like the Nawf Texas coach.

That would not be a shock and has been a rumored match for a few years now... Would make it not look so bad with him coming off UNTs first ever an NCAA win either.

He said that two weeks after he had accepted the UNLV job.  You have to say something like that in that situation.

I would think it’s gonna be beard. It’s not often that Texas misses out on a Top target not named Meyer 

Only if you ignore the 2013 football coaching search and the 2016 baseball coaching search.  Blech.

Recruiting is the one area Beard has not broken through at Tech, I would think that would be a huge appeal in Texas for him.

yep.  Beard sucks.  can't recruit to LBK.  Not that these rankings mean jack shit, so don't look here.

So many important questions about this coaching search:

1.  Do we need to draw lines of demarcation for the Day Crew and Night Crew? 

2.  What about Big Dick Energy?  Is it time to bring it? 

3.  Will the lack of availability of the McRib help or hurt our chances at landing the top candidate?

4.  What does CB stand for?

Zhaire Smith (16th overall pick, can't stay healthy -- 13 NBA appearances in two seasons with about twice as many games played in G-League)

Jarrett Culver (6th overall pick)

Matt Mooney (mostly G-league but a couple of NBA appearances)

Tariq Owens (mostly G-League but a couple of NBA appearances)

Jhami'us Ramsey (2nd round pick, mostly G-League but a couple of NBA appearances)

I hope it's so quick and without dramatics, even Thujone won't bother.

Don't forget about carpet and curtains, and whether they match or not.

Dude... seriously?? ok... yeah he signs the most players every year... I guess if that's you measure he's had success there.

He can't get the talent there that he could at a place like Texas, its just facts.

Ah forgot about Smith. It's not that he can't stay healthy, he had an undiagnosed allergy to cinnamon or poppyseeds or something that just wrecked his career.

Bob Weltlich - raging asshole of all raging assholes - was able to recruit Texas.  Penders' first roster included Mays, Blanks, Wright, and Heggs.

Beard - or anyone - will be fine recruiting to Texas.

EDIT: @MonkeyDoughnut should have replied to the same message you replied to...  I was agreeing with you.

We've been a solid NBA pipeline for years now and all we have to show for it is a NIT title. I'd rather our next coach focus on winning college games, not NBA prep. The good players will make it.

Def wouldn't expect it to happen THAT quickly.

If it's Beard, likely won't hear until end of next week to get past the 4/1 date. 

If it is someone in the tournament, gotta wait until they lose.

If it is someone out of the tournament and not Beard, early next week maybe? 

But I don't foresee it stretching past April 4 or 5.  

I’m just glad it’s happening. I thought we were gonna be stuck in the Shaka black hole of sadness forever. 

looking forward to birching about the hire soon though!

"Chris Beard's buyout to go to another Big 12 school drops to $4 million on April 1, sources told ESPN,” Borzello wrote in a tweet. “$2 million for any school outside the Big 12.”

The buyout money could play a significant factor for Texas, as boosters already paid a $15 million one for former football coach Tom Herman just three months ago. Beard also makes $6 million annually with the Red Raiders, and Texas would likely need to top that to get him away from there.

In five seasons in Lubbock, Beard is 112-55 (.671 winning percentage) and 49-40 (.551) in the Big 12. He reached the Elite Eight in his first season and was the NCAA runner-up in 2019, losing to Virginia in overtime of the national championship game. The Red Raiders’ season ended last Sunday in the Sweet 16 with a loss to Arkansas.

 

$6 million? More than Sark. Dang. Is he worth it?

Still Lenten season so it's the Filet O' Fish in place of McRib.

Hire the ACU coach. He’s the same guy but cheaper.

Probably wouldn't be a great look right and good for recruiting to go from celebrated black coach to guy who got fired partly for saying his team was playing like a bunch of thugs.

That’s probably one of the main reasons Brando thinks we should do it.

I like how he immediately points out that he's too old and then sticks with Beilein anyway as the best choice.
