  • 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

I see you’ve never been to macaroni grill

I read this right after "Ain't no way a single girl can beat off 5 dudes" and was all wtf have I been missing at Macaroni Grill all these years?

So UNC offers Beard $5MM/ year and he giggles...

 

He’s going to be a lot more expensive than he would have been a week ago, no matter where he goes/ stays.

UT should have paid the $5MM buyout when they had the chance.

Hard to disagree with this logic.  However, Roy Williams likely did not wake up this morning and decide to retire.  This must have been in the works for some time; agents, reps working back-channels.  Beard's reps must have known this was happening before today...

I'm more in this camp, but at the same time, it isn't a surprise to them and there hadn't been leaks/names thrown out as potential successors 

UNC is def like Oklahoma - they like to keep it in the family.

I'm not too worried about Beard to UNC. I don't think that is the style they are looking for. Plus they seem to like keeping it in the UNC family. 

Wes Miller to UNC?  Probably a stretch, but he is an alumni, only 38, and has won the Southern Conference 3 of the last 5 years, going 105-42 (71.4%).

Mark Turgeon is from the Roy Williams coaching tree and could be a candidate. Yesterday he said he's not interested in the OU job, so maybe he had forewarning about Roy retiring.  He has only done "ok" though at Maryland, going 105-79 in the Big 10 and winning the conference once in 7 years.

MJ is available.

Sounds more like Arkansian relations.

April 1 gives him a 30 day window for his UNC system HR paperwork and whatnot to work. My guess is that this was known in the last 2 weeks and they planned to announce it today for both the PR and HR reasons...

 

Real spontaneous retirements don’t happen the first calendar day of a new month...

The timing is interesting for sure

They didn’t interview me, and I took that personally. So I went to wake and beat their asses unmercifully for 15 years.

You worried that Jesus will be all snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug in his man cave already by the time the news breaks and that he won't hear about it until Sunday?

Technically, state employees have Friday afternoon off.

Does anyone actually think this wasn't known in the coaching and Agent circles for a while now?  Roy didn't just drop this bomb on UNC today.   I guarantee every Agent knew this was a possibility for weeks and knew it was happening definitively for days now.  Cmon people.

Sure it wasn’t a surprise.

Neither is it coincidental that it was announced on today, with regard to Beard’s availability.

 

 

Screenshotting, because these guys are now deleting tweets.

It has always been a moronic narrative driven by impatient children.

Hell yes. It’s gonna be a epic street battle between UNC and tech for mark few or Brad Steven’s.

Sorry that you cheer for a stepping stone school guys. Taking a better job, with his alma mater, doesn't make him a fraud.
