TTU had just extended him and made him the fourth highest paid coach in basketball. everyone thought we’d missed our window. we’d never dropped money on a coach like we did on beard. i was genuinely shocked we got him after his extension at TTU. remember, their fans were completely apoplectic because they too thought that he’d been locked down with that extension.

March 23Mar 23 fwiw here’s a screenshot from page 1 of the chris beard to Texas thread: it was very surprising when we landed him after that six year extension.

I already said I'd change my handle if Texas hires Sean Miller and let the community vote on it and I was super hammered when I said that but I stand by it. So miss me with the "missing BDE" shit. Also - I'll do it for a year if it happens. So y'all get 365 days of whatever you come up with.

March 23Mar 23 Not sure which fact blew my mind more: -Waco furthest west title since 1997 -Kevin Young being a descendant of Brigham Young. Was his great x4 grandfather a character in American Primeval? Edited March 23Mar 23 by CurlyDumps

March 23Mar 23 can we hire jaime Escalante. teacher in the movie "stand and deliver". he can get results and is a real teacher of the game.
March 23Mar 23 Sean Miller's last 7 years 3 NCAA appearances - 1 Sweet Sixteen, 2 Round of 64 3 missed tournament 1 NIT Sean Miller has only 3 total NCAA wins in his last 7 years lol. Rodney Terry has 4 in 3 years lol.
March 23Mar 23 The “surprise” hire of Beard was different than the surprise being discussed now. Everyone knew he was the top target of Texas, but most thought Texas couldn’t get him because of the extension. The surprise was that we did. This surprise would be a coach that no one is thinking about because Texas doesn’t have a clear top target. Different type of surprise.
March 23Mar 23 Miller has coached at legit tournament schools for something like 20 years. Pearl is at ~16 years, Oats is at ~ 6 years. I'd say Oats is winning that comparison.
March 23Mar 23 Find it interesting that Bill Self hasn’t come out publicly yet with a hard no about Texas.

March 23Mar 23 What about Ben McCollum? His first season coaching D1 led to a 31-4 record, a conference title/conference tourney title and a win over a 6 seed. Drake was giving it to Tech in the 2nd round for a good stretch before Tech pulled away towards the end. He's the most successful D2 coach in recent history with 4 titles and his first season in D1 was a success. Ben is only 43 years old to boot.
March 23Mar 23 Gerry One thing I was told last night ... RT would rather be fired and get his buyout money than try and get a job now. We shall see if that remains true. UNLV and USF have/are showing interest in RT. UNLV could be heading another direction
