Former Texas HC Chris Beard reportedly drawing interest from Ole Miss

Would be a great hire for them sadly.

Texas fired him for a reason.... This is a school that needs a coach,and they're going the best possible coach even though he's lacking in the moral compass department. Unfortunately,there's several of those out there. They'll probably play it off as giving him a "second chance" if indeed they hire him...

Well, when it comes to hiring coaches with morals at least Ole Miss is consistent.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

It’s Ole Miss.

Dude beats women.

He can f off

It will be interesting to see what kind of salary Mississippi offers Beard to try and entice him.

Pearl, Oats, Beard, and formerly Wade. They’re forming the League of Unethical Coaches in the west division

They can probably pay him in confederate dollars given how poisonous his rep is right now

Don't disagree. But he's going to win wherever he goes.

Mabye. It is Ole Miss.

Yep. And it's totally their M.O. to hold their nose to hire (or attempt to keep) someone.

Not only is he a really good coach, his fiance recanted basically everything she told police and the charges were dropped. They can always point to that, to the extent that hiring him is controversial.

 

[wmcovol]

He’d be better off sitting a yr.

 

[Boston Vol]

Looks like this is close to being a done deal.

Ole Miss is the Vandy football of basketball. I doubt he does much there. But even if he does somehow win there, he’ll use them as a stepping stone to a better job.

Bolded part is probably true, but he will absolutely win there. Morality aside he is a very good basketball coach.

Congrats to OM if they get this deal done. Nice seeing a school with some balls to not care about what others think when they know this is the only way they can get a coach of Beard’s caliber.

Lol. Go root for Poverty Bama if you want but I’d still bet a lot of money we win more than they do the next 5 years.

You’re truly special

His own alma mater fired him for domestic violence against his fiancee. Ole Miss is like "That's okay, we'll play the second chances campaign" where he can redeem himself. You really have to love these schools that will win at any costs. I'll give Tennessee a lot of credit. They have a classy guy as the basketball coach that also is a pretty good coach.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Texas Tech is trying to get him back. They forced Mark Adams to resign yesterday. That may or may not become a snag for Ole Miss.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

This sounds like Ole Miss putting it out there to judge the media and fanbase reaction.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Remember when Andy Kennedy got in trouble for assaulting a cab driver why yelling racial slurs? It appears that Ole grits is about to hire another coach with violence issues.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

LULZ!

Must be nice to have never made a mistake in life and needed a second chance. Can you turn water into wine as well?
