  • 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

IT reporting that Beard is having a meeting with his coaches today but aren't sure if that is an ordinary occurrence or not. 

excellent

(Thursday morning) "We're hearing that Beard has cleaned out his office and booked a flight to Austin and scheduled a PC for Friday morning. No idea if this is related to the Texas head coaching position. Stay tuned."

"Booking" a flight, eh?

Somebody has to call Netjets and tell them to send a bird to Lubbock.

This sounds like a done deal, the fact that nothing has been said denying it from Tech should be proof enough. 

I've been monitoring Twit Aware, fairly quiet so far.

FWIW:

Latest retweet from Governor McConaughey

If you notice, the original tweet came from Braun which starts with B and has the same amount of letters as a coach of interest. 

^^^ FWIW,

Spoiler

We definitely frown on that around here.

no big deal, gonna let everyone in on his summer vacation plans from Austin. shorter drive to the Frio river from Austin than Lubbock.

Hate to be the wet blanket again after calling no on Urban Meyer but I’m hearing Beard isn’t coming here. Hope I’m wrong.

Would you say you're typically wrong 50% of the time?

Sounds like something someone would say if they knew he was staying.  It doesn't logistically make sense.

Any hints who the other targets would be?

Let’s hope so. My sources on this (2) aren’t as good as on Meyer.

No surprise if true.

I’d be almost as happy if you’re wrong on this as I was on you being right on Meyer.

Someone call that denim shirt wearing fool Kelvin Sampson ASAP. The man is getting it done 


I forgot about the denim shirt. To his credit, Kelvin made it look about as good as anyone could. Which was still pretty bad

Messages like "TTU and Beard remain in contact" are idiotic.

One of my guys gave his 2-week notice last week.  We remain in contact.  We may even after he leaves.  I remain in contact w/ guys who left years ago.

That will be $9.95.

Mine is pretty close to the situation, as of Saturday it was basically done. But until an announcement is made that means Jack shit. That’s a lot of time to get your best offer together that perhaps Texas wouldn’t match.

It does smell of “it hasn’t been announced, it’s not happening “ kind of freaking out. 

Tech hasn’t said anything. That’s still good for us. 

Listened to the EGAT podcast with Scipio and Kevin Dunn. This may be already common knowledge on IT, but Paul says he hears Beard’s agent is making a ton of demands, like every NCAAT appearance gets him an extra year extended on the contract. BMD source saying “it’s Beard’s job to lose and he’s really trying to.”  But it does sound like Beard or bust.

This is in Beard's existing Tech contract, too.

Hmmm.  Not a fan of exorbitant demands.  I hope we have a spine and keep some semblance of dignity.  I’d like a winning coach, but don’t lose the farm in exchange.

Where’s your deer lease and are you Caddox’s friend’s friend?

My Tech grad neighbor sent me this...A728DD98-E37B-46D1-BF82-8C95C9F7E2D6.thumb.jpeg.cd63e26502eba6ceeadfce004cdfb2e9.jpeg

So if we don't make the tournament, does he lose a year?

Paul (Scipio) suggested the counter to that provision is losing two years with a missed appearance, not that his agent would ever go for that.
