Where the fuck did you get that idea.  It would be the worst thing possible for Tech basketball this side of the death penalty/ major sanctions.  I haven't read anyone saying it wouldn't fucking matter if Beard leaves.  It would suck tremendously.

Like that better?

I meant Tech announcing an extension.  Think Texas will wait on the 4/1 date for the buyout to drop

Oh I know but made me think about the Sark hire. Not sure if that's Hocutts MO but CDC has a history with that type of move

I'm with you on this. IT mentioned this morning we're interviewing Ivey today or tomorrow though so I genuinely don't think a decision has been made yet.

I appreciate the offer, but the Yosemite Sam blasting off earlier in the thread will have to suffice. LOL.

If he stays, I'll be extremely pleased, and none of that has to do with UT.  Y'all will most likely get a great coach, regardless.

If he leaves, he'll be dead to me.  It's that simple.  My feelings on such matters are not limited to coaches.  It's probably a personality flaw of my own, but I recognize that it exists.

also, the fact that TTU has not announced an extension gives me hope that Beard in fact has been named the guy, and that we're  simply waiting until the first to announce it. 

Expand  

So say CDC introduces Beard as the next Texas men's basketball head coach on April 1 ... will anyone believe him?

In all seriousness, part of me hopes Beard stays. Not because he wouldn't be a home run, but because it would be a rare thing.

There's not much loyalty in college sports these days--be it coaches, players, schools or fans, it seems everybody is looking for a better deal. And with blue blood programs usually poaching the best and brightest coaches, it's almost impossible for programs without pedigree to enjoy sustained success. There are Few "rags to riches" examples like Gonzaga.

So if Drew ends up being a lifer at Baylor, or Beard builds Tech into a juggernaut, the general sports fan in me finds it a beautiful thing, even if I selfishly wish Texas had something similar.

That sounds like an interview to check a box.

I could have sworn that bielein resigned from Michigan because of a scandal of some flavor, but I can’t find anything about it from my 30 seconds of google searching.  Did he really just quit for health reasons?

Expand  

He jumped to the NBA. That's where the "scandal" was.

It would be eminently stupid if CDC and company gave Ivey just a courtesy call without giving him a real shot to win the job. I can think of no better way to alienate our lettermen.

Wasn’t all that long ago that we gave a clown a courtesy interview for AD and he bullshitted his way into the job.

Da fuck? 15-20 minutes for a head coaching job at Texas? I'm thinking this was more like a phone screen you go through with a recruiter before you interview with the manager. 

Expand  

They don't have 200 people on the interview list.  

A 15-20 minutes interview sounds like someone said the wrong thing and there was no point continuing.

Even if Beard is the guy, it still makes sense to go through the interview process because you just don't know who else maybe a better fit for the job. I am liking the fact that we are running a proper search.

yeah, that's either some ultimate pass-fail questions or just going through the motions.

15-20 minutes...to get to know someone/ coaching philosophy who is an alum?

Agreed. Hope that is either misinformation or it was a preliminary "meet and greet" and the real interview is to follow.

Expand  

It could very well be one of those “tell me your vision of the program  in 10 minutes or less” deals with them telling him they have our #1 choice already lined up, but this is what we are looking for in case this goes tits up or in case this guys blows it in the near future. That way everyone Is on the same page and it gives Ivey a legitimate “in” the next go around.

 

Essentially a courtesy call and a way to feel out him for the future in case their option #1 implodes and they have to really do a search.
