Can we just move on from Beard?  It's mind-numbing with all the choking jokes and so-called quips.  Low-hanging fruit.

We need to throttle that discussion, for sure. It's taking the air out of legit discussion and rumor-mongering. Not that there is much; CDC has a stranglehold on information leaks. I hope he's got a good grip on the search.

How about trying to NOT be a shithammered dick half the time?

In all seriousness, I'm not a fan of Snyder, but he pretty clearly got entrusted with too big of a job too soon in his career and predictably flamed out quickly.  Mizzou was a really prominent program when he was hired; he was replacing Norm Stewart ffs.   And Snyder was a 32-yo (who looked young for his age) with zero head coaching experience (and really wasn't that high on K's staff for most of his years at Duke because he was working on his JD).  The Mizzou job was way too big for him at the time and it showed in his immaturity.  I don't think it's fair to still hold that job against him.

I would think they would be time for a new coach considering it looks like we had promised and then we just totally shit the bed.

He has plenty to hold against him post-Mizzou.  I think we can do WAY better.

Heres Lloyd calling out his fan base after the kansas game yesterday. Maybe it's not too far fetched for him to leave for a job like Texas..

And I'm not comparing our crowd to Kansas for the record. But his old boss Mark Few would likely have good reviews about the new environment at Moody.

Beards history has made him a no go for Indiana. Its gonna take him a few more cycles to get the bigger jobs he's wanting. 

Eh, they wanted Scott Drew.  I don't think they care.

Not a perfect analogy, but Snyder feels like a Sark-ish hire. 

That's... actually not a bad analogy at all. Snyder peaked higher than Sark did as a college HC and has been a successful NBA HC but doesn't have the high-profile, recent college coordinator experience that Sark did coming in. 

Sark seems like less of a dick but most high-profile college basketball coaches are kind of assholes (not even "kind of" if we're being honest).

I'd be ecstatic if whoever Texas hires turns out as well as Sark.

Is there anything to the rumor about Bill Self being an option? Or is he just trying to get a raise? He makes Sark money already. 

KU ain't giving Self a raise lol. This is maybe their worst team of his tenure.

The crowd at McKale center is light years ahead of what Texas plays in front of. It’s just that the atmosphere at Allen Fieldhouse is on a whole other level. Can’t speak for Hilton Coliseum as I’ve never been to a game there.

Because the team fucking sucks. Texas didn't have atmosphere issues under Beard. The women's team doesn't have fan issues. And they both play in the nicest arena in the country. 

I don't think there's some gap that can't be closed between Arizona fan support and Texas. And there certainly isn't a gap when it comes to the type of teams that you can assemble.

Zona fans and that environment always impresses.  Top 10.

Allen is the pinnacle. Always will be. 

Moody is a joke including the dead ball music / nonsense / whatever it is.

McKale is a fantastic college basketball venue. I love going to games there. Pre/postgaming at a bar on University provides some top tier scenery.
