While we're at it we should have called Gregg Popovich! Chris Beard was easily the top guy out there that was reasonably available. Nice self-own. Yes, Beard was the top guy out there who was reasonably available. Like, say, Tom Herman. Few and Krzyzewski were not available. Like, say, Saban and Meyer. Edited April 1, 20214 yr by Huckleberry

Oh, you only won 10 national championships. You suck. Yep. CDC isn't likely to upgrade that position. I'll be more than happy to be proven wrong.
April 1, 20214 yr Going to basketball games will actually be fun now with a real coach and real arena

Sarkisian, we don't really know because CDC keeps things so close to the vest, but we know he wasn't our first. Chris Beard was our guy and we got him. We've been turned down by Gary Patterson, Jim Mora, and Art Briles and lord knows who else. Comparing those guys to Coach K and Mark Few is one of the stupidest takes on the basketball board in awhile. Umm, you said “elite” coaches, which to most people implied Saban and Meyer. If you meant the guys you just named instead...lol

April 1, 20214 yr Now, is he bringing Mark Adams with him? I'm guessing he'll be in the mix for TTU's head coach vacancy, but would love to poach him too. Edited April 1, 20214 yr by MonkeyDoughnut "Mark" - thx Machinator... Mike's his brother :)
April 1, 20214 yr What CDC has done with coaching hires is nothing short of a miracle. We all knew he was a great salesman and could raise money for the much needed facilities upgrades but many of us, including me, had doubts about his ability to hire great coaches. I must say I am very impressed with his work so far!

Pretty sure I kept my takes pretty damned reasonable throughout the deal, to the point that I was willing to share opinions on Surly’s podcast. Enjoy Coach Beard. Sorry to see him go, for sure. Edited April 1, 20214 yr by slorch
April 1, 20214 yr CDC is an assassin at quietly hiring coaches. Even Sark was under-the-radar despite the Meyer Twitter BS.

Oh, you only won 10 national championships. You suck. LMAO at thinking CDC is going to "hire" Reese's replacement. Reese is staying on as head coach emeritus. The new guy will be who Reese tells CDC to hire. And that is perfectly acceptable, Reese is the GOAT and who the GOAT wants to succeed him is fine by me!

Two of those chumps aren't even employed at the college level anymore. Not even Greenspoint has posted a take as dumb as "Texas was turned down by Art Briles and all these other names." You're one of those idiots that actually believes that every time an agent leaks to a reporter that their client has withdrawn his name from a candidacy that he genuinely withdrew interest versus didn't get the job. You're not very bright.

April 1, 20214 yr @Dbeasy you need to tell your sources they fucking suck. Are your sources just Satyas PMs?

Imagine thinking Charlie Strong was our first choice.

We declined to offer Briles, and I’ve never seen reporting saying we actually went after Patterson. Either way, your first take about Texas Football was shitty and inaccurate, and @Huckleberry’s comparison of Herman to Beard was also shitty and inaccurate. Now both of you shut the fuck up and stop clogging up the Beard celebration thread!

April 1, 20214 yr An underdiscussed aspect of Beard coming to UT is that we'll finally be able to recruit the metroplex with full force. For whatever reason over the last decade or so (basically LaMarcus Aldridge) we haven't really been able to pull a lot of the high quality DFW area players. Andrew Jones and Myles Turner being the only exception. Conversely, Beard has feasted on the metroplex despite being at an Under Armor school. Now with the full weight of being at one of the major Nike brand schools he'll hopefully get us back into the "market" for Dallas area talent. I've already got my I on a few of those elite Dallas area guard in the 2022 class.

Imagine thinking Steve Patterson wasn't dumb enough to zero in on Charlie Strong using Korn Ferry as cover.
