3 pages and not a post yet about what a piece of crap he is. DV is an epidemic in this country and OM doing this is just emblematic of why: nobody cares and it gets swept under the rug.
There should be a women's protest on the plantation today. But I bet the hard questions won't even get asked.
Nothing will be asked. David Johnson literally came out and said that last week that their media would not have anything negative to say about Beard. It is sad because you have to draw the line somewhere. I am by no means a perfect moral compass because I have often said that media s***storm be damned if a coach wins you hire him. I draw the line before DV though. You do not lay your hands on a woman as man. PERIOD. End of discussion. There is never a scenario where it is acceptable.
If ole miss covers up anything about future DV issues with him in oxford like he's Marshall Henderson or MGK they should be sued back to the Stone Age. And we all know they are more than capable of doing it. If Beards gets them dancing regularly they will sell daughters and cut their own throats to keep him.
Wokeness failed on this one. Where is the moral outrage and Pearl clutching when it's actually warranted?
Sued for what?
For better or worse, at this point, anybody that is involved with him romantically is going to have to go into it with open eyes. If they roll the dice on that, unless Ole Miss is doing something insane like trying to intimidate victims from coming forward, I don't think that's Ole Miss's problem.
He seems somewhat like a rich man's version of Kiffin prior to Kiffin coming to Ole Miss. Really promising signs so far. Some question as to whether he can maintain a program because he hasn't been in one place long, but not as big because he's already succeeded in a tough conference and he doesn't have the prior record of failure before seemingly figuring things out.
PR photos released from OM show him with teenage looking daughters from previous relationship. His recent fiance is no where in $ight. Nationwide articles stating many SEC coaches not happy with hire. Bet that doesn't include Oats, Pearl, Jimbo, Petrino, etc.
Told an OM friend at church Sunday, Grove in old testament, pagan place of worship. OM has a Grove. Coincidence, I don't think so!**. He hates it when I tell him this. That OM would hire a coach with recent DV arrest, even though fiance conveniently dropped charge$ is pitiful.
Fear the Beard takes on a whole new meaning.
The chicks bruises haven?t even healed yet...
Heck. I was listing to his intro speech in Finebaum on the way home, and I?d run through a wall for that SOB. After they speech,,he should have 13 5 star schollies and 25 4 star Walkons sittting in the bench next year. Crap. Jans should go ask if he can be his basketball washer for after practice!
Seriously, why in hades would a SEC or any sports network carry the dang introduction speech of any coach when there are 13 other conference schools with some sort of sports news going on.
He said he is there to win championships just like every coach who took a job has said more then once for multiple jobs. Heck. I sell RE and hope I make a $1 million this year as do each of the other 155 agents in our office and 4000 other agents in Mississippi. But it ain?t possible cause there isn?t enough talent for Ole Miss and there aren?t enough houses for all 4000 agents to earn a million each this year.
My opening speech as a head coach:
I am here to do a job that you pay me for. I will do my best and if in 3 years we still suck, you can fire my sorry butt. See you at the Games!
Is this the part of the Ole Miss coaching cycle where everyone freaks out about how they just hired the next big unstoppable coach and now they're going to totally own us and we'll never win again and we just can't compete and they have no morals and if we don't agree with the sky-is-falling mentality then we're just a bunch of blind sheep who are too stupid to see reality only to watch again as the next savior of OM football/basketball flames out and gets run after losing to lowly MSU too many times?
*checks thread*
Yep. It seems to be that part of the cycle, alright.
Beard will be at WVU as soon as Huggins retires which could be after next year
What I had heard before this OM coaching job went down
He was going to go to WVa as an assistant next year and take over for Huggins in 2 years
And Jans might be the best coach State ever had... Beard could flame out like so many "hot" coaches.
So he has baggage. So did Lane Kiffin. So did Jackie Sherrill....strike while the iron is hot. Buy undervalued stock.....whatever.

A guy on SEC Radio this morning said Beard ain't outta woods yet with the DV incident. Although his girlfriend dropped the charges the DA still might opt to prosecute. DV laws have changed a lot over the last ten years. He was absolutely stunned ole miss hired him.
If he gets Andy Kennedy results then he would have done a pretty good job. I'm betting he doesn't come close to getting the same results before he leaves. People forget that AK had several pretty good years at OM. & Andy is winning 23-25 per year since he left. Screenshot this & I'll ban myself if I'm wrong. I predict it's gonna be a circus up there for a few years bc it's gonna be very hard to recruit players with his record & he dang sure won't ever have a 1/4 of the talent he had at Tech or Texas.
