What do we know about the Oats guy at Alabama? Would he be a viable second-tier candidate?

He's a top tier candidate with a top tier buyout.

  • 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

Self may have a show cause fairly soon, and I also think he falls in the unrealistic category to begin with.

Pretty sure I saw it was like $20 million.

Edit: Make that $12 million. Close enough.

Got a call from a college basketball source I trust who was asked to call me by Chris Beard’s agent...

Dallas Mavs reporter, honestly not that much of a big scoop guy imo, but also is not the type to just put bullshit out there for attention.

I want to believe

That's the issue for any coach who finds success with his system, trying to find big time recruits who will buy in. Fans want 5 stars but yhey aren't always willing to play the style coach has implemented successfully.

Jay Wright has talked about this quite a bit.

 

We’ve had 6 years of Shakas 5 stars... give me a team that wins meaningful games

Beard to the Mavs, Rick Carlisle to Texas if I'm reading between the lines correctly..

The source was Beard’s agent.

I believe there's a good chance Beard is very interested and I don't think it has much to do with being an alumni. He is probably not going to be at Tech forever like a Coach K or Izzo. Counting his time as an assistant, that's already 15 years in Lubbock. Sure he could hold out and wait for a UNC/Duke/Kentucky/etc. to open but he's spent most of his career coaching in TX so maybe this is where he will be most comfortable. UT will be the best opportunity in the state and outside of Kansas, the best program with resources in the conference.

Insults?

"butthole surfing cuck" seems pretty insulting to me. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 

also i was just making a super clever joke that, based on your response, clearly landed. lol

Brad Townsend is a Texas Ex who has been one of the best sportswriters in Texas for nearly 30 years.

also, he is just a great interview subject in general. he's super comfortable on the mic and really just a natural speaker. he gets right down to facts right away. really enjoyed this one.

Lol, no he didn't.  I was at UT when he was here.  No matter how drunk you are.

I'm just so ecstatic about being rid of Shaka that it's hard to think straight about a replacement at the moment. 

It's like we've been wandering in the desert for 40 years. Anything looks sweet by comparison. 

Just think - we may actually have an offense with purpose again instead of the random dartboard shit we've been watching. Hot damn!

Outside of LeBron, players are absolutely terrible GMs and should have zero say in picking a coach.

Calling Tim Brando a dildo is an insult to dildos everywhere

 

it is an insult to butt plugs too

 

If we do hire him, will he need a new F-350 to drive from Lubbock?

Troy Aikman was instrumental in us landing Chip Kelly.  Thanks a lot Troy.

We should hire Beard without paying the buy out, then claim sovereign immunity when Tech tries to sue us.

Diplomatic immunity.

If it went down that way, and it would still be cataclysmic for Tech basketball, but I would support the living fuck out of this aspect.

Word is that Beard has gotten a raise and new contract will be announced shortly.  We'll see...

Rumor on Tech boards is that Beard has gotten a raise and new contract will be announced shortly.  We'll see...

Beard has been worth every penny invested in him. My guess is he stays in Lubbock. 

If he stays at Tech and gets a raise because of all of this then he’s a boss and knows what he’s doing.
