This is where you and I disagree. A world of difference between paying players (which is now legal) and lying about Houston Nutt (likely at the direction of the AD now at A&M) compared to a Felony Strangulation charge against a woman.

I've seen it as well, which is why I beat that drum. Also, just in my personal experience, people who blow important hires, regardless of the reasons why, take it on the chin. CDC's 2 most important hires have been poor. It doesn't matter why. These are high stakes with millions on the line. I am surprised that so many people here think there won't be consequences for him.

My point is that CDC made 2 hires for his 2 most important positions that shouldn't have been made. I think the dirt on this chick was out there to be found. He either didn't look or ignored what he found.

That has been my point.

Was Urban charged with felony strangulation? As for CDC, well, if you don't think the way the Sark & Beard hires have turned out impact his standing with the people who control his employment, I think you are being naive.

Tell me? No. It does, however, make it very clear to Chris Beard that any conduct (even if it is from a personal relationship) on his part that reflects poorly on the University of Texas can lead to his termination.

My employer? No. I haven't signed a contract with any provision that allows for this. Chris Beard signed a contract with the above clause.

I replied to this but I don't see that response. If this is a double response - my apologies. I am a regular guy in a regular nothing job. I don't make millions. I'm not a state employee. I don't have a contract. I think you knew your response was silly before you posted it.

Our coaches talk publicly about our players' families and the impact they have. You don't think our AD digs deep on the fiancee of a possible employee to whom we will pay millions? If CDC didn't do this, shame on him.

For a role like this, getting $5MM from a state position, CDC damn sure SHOULD have heavily considered all of this.

They were together for 2-3 years before 2019 and still weren't married. Look, by itself, and with the Covid issue, the fact that he didn't marry her for 5 years isn't the end all be all of concerns. However, there was more than a bit of chatter, on the internet and elsewhere, that she was volatile and that the relationship had issues. CDC was likely aware of all of this. He made the hire and is accountable.

Men hitting women is a huge problem. Women being abusive to men is a substantial (and unaddressed) problem. Rich guys with unlimited resources make poor decisions about crazy women and ruin their careers. We all agree on this. It is on CDC to look in to Beard's relationship with this lady and to figure it all out. When CDC hired Beard, he had been with this gal for about a half decade and still hadn't married her. Is that not a red flag?!? In 30 seconds on the Google machine I found this: https://247sports.com/college/texas-tech/Board/102952/Contents/That-other-guys-welcome-to-whornville-163694846/ "She (Fiance, Randi Trew) may have more to do with Beard leaving than some think. She was asked to resign or be fired from Frenship for abusing players. She would never get hired as a coach in the Lubbock area again. He asked Tech to hire her in the administration department and was told no. I suspect that was part of the agreement with him going to TU." Surely someone at Texas did some digging on Randi, correct? Someone must have talked to her previous employer. This woman and Beard were engaged, they were a package deal. The buck stops with CDC. I am not saying he should have a crystal ball. I am saying that I am confident he found out this relationship had issues and he still pulled the trigger.

If there is one thing I hate its portal talk.

Biden needs to trade you to the Russians for the former Marine who committed all of the larceny.

Your working theory is that he determined she is completely crazy and that the best way to handle the situation was to bite her?

I have a recording of Sark admitting we should have signed more offensive linemen from the portal. Will I play it for you? No.

Do you bite and then strangle or do you strangle first?

Have you been drinking all day?

"Chris Beard told police that he has audio recordings showing he was not the primary aggressor. He was asked if he would be willing to share those audio recordings to which he said no."

This isn't about his legal problems. I don't care if he didn't do anything legally wrong. Either he is a felonious choker or he makes lifestyle choices that aren't tolerable for his position.
