Beard is done

[BWilk55]

This serms like a terrible law in that it allows Universities, and maybe other entities to fire someone without a real reason,  but potentially a made up reason. (Not saying Texas didn't have a legitimate reason).

It makes me wonder if aggy could use this to get rid of Dimbo.

My understanding is that Leach being fired for cause ended up being due to some falsehoods, yet he had no way to fight it legally.

Yes that's the way I remember it, which is why it seems like a terrible law.

It's how government protects it's legalized extortion.

If you or I ran a lottery we would go to jail.   The government?  Not so much.

Also posting again here, as not sure which thread is being used for coaching prospects.

Anyone have a scoop on if the powers that be are interested in bringing Jay Wright out of retirement? Let's at least make him say no.

I really, really hope this is fake.

I really, really hope this is fake.

I don't know for sure if it fake or not. But I'm guessing that the odds of it being true are slim and none. And by slim, I mean the smallest amount of sliver that exists above none.

After the Beard fiasco, I would be shocked if they went after Calipari. He had a lot of baggage.

CDC ain’t going there

Yea, I meant to say I sure hope that isn't true.

Naturally, CDC and Coach Cal have both denied any communications.

Media reports or disinformation leaked by Cal's agent? 

 

[TexCoyote]

I don’t see Calipari happening. I think they pay him close to $9M per year. He isn’t going to take a pay cut to come and I can’t see Texas paying a basketball coach more than a football coach. 
 

Also, he is a good coach no doubt but if you look at his recruiting, he should win it every year. His recruiting is like what Nick Saban does at Bama, maybe better. His winning sure doesn’t match his recruiting.

Perhaps some of you can recalled the events before Beard was hired. I recall seeing a lot of Cal articles and implied interest for the Texas job. I don't remember if it was a misdirection play by CDC, trial balloon or Cal's agent leaking reports. Anyone?

If CDC is really considering this, my opinion of him will take a serious hit.
