What do we know about the Oats guy at Alabama? Would he be a viable second-tier candidate?

He's a top tier candidate with a top tier buyout.

[conVINCEd 21468]

Self may have a show cause fairly soon, and I also think he falls in the unrealistic category to begin with.

Pretty sure I saw it was like $20 million.

Edit: Make that $12 million. Close enough.

Got a call from a college basketball source I trust who was asked to call me by Chris Beard’s agent...

That's the issue for any coach who finds success with his system, trying to find big time recruits who will buy in. Fans want 5 stars but yhey aren't always willing to play the style coach has implemented successfully.

Jay Wright has talked about this quite a bit.

 

We’ve had 6 years of Shakas 5 stars... give me a team that wins meaningful games

Beard to the Mavs, Rick Carlisle to Texas if I'm reading between the lines correctly..

I believe there's a good chance Beard is very interested and I don't think it has much to do with being an alumni. He is probably not going to be at Tech forever like a Coach K or Izzo. Counting his time as an assistant, that's already 15 years in Lubbock. Sure he could hold out and wait for a UNC/Duke/Kentucky/etc. to open but he's spent most of his career coaching in TX so maybe this is where he will be most comfortable. UT will be the best opportunity in the state and outside of Kansas, the best program with resources in the conference.

Brad Townsend is a Texas Ex who has been one of the best sportswriters in Texas for nearly 30 years.

[shadow_operative 15932]

also, he is just a great interview subject in general. he's super comfortable on the mic and really just a natural speaker. he gets right down to facts right away. really enjoyed this one.

Lol, no he didn't.  I was at UT when he was here.  No matter how drunk you are.

[Tired Horn 739]

I'm just so ecstatic about being rid of Shaka that it's hard to think straight about a replacement at the moment. 

It's like we've been wandering in the desert for 40 years. Anything looks sweet by comparison. 

Just think - we may actually have an offense with purpose again instead of the random dartboard shit we've been watching. Hot damn!

We should hire Beard without paying the buy out, then claim sovereign immunity when Tech tries to sue us.

If it went down that way, and it would still be cataclysmic for Tech basketball, but I would support the living fuck out of this aspect.

Word is that Beard has gotten a raise and new contract will be announced shortly.  We'll see...

Rumor on Tech boards is that Beard has gotten a raise and new contract will be announced shortly.  We'll see...

Beard has been worth every penny invested in him. My guess is he stays in Lubbock. 

[Rockethorn1978 6071]

If he stays at Tech and gets a raise because of all of this then he’s a boss and knows what he’s doing.
