Huge Piece of Shit and alleged Woman Abuser Chris Beard has been hired at Mississippi

[Tailgate 3022]

Yep. It was a gut punch when I saw the news. Positioned myself with some nice season tickets at Moody and we were off to the races….until….damn.

also, reminder that randi trew lost her job at frenship HS due to her verbal abuse of her kids, among other things. so if that’s really worse than drunk driving, then being so verbally abusive to the kids you’re in charge of that the school lets you go despite having just led the team to its best ever season says a lot about the poor, helpless, blameless victim of chris beard’s “abuse”.

I witnessed Randi in action when she was coaching at Frenship against my daughter’s VB team. I knew the first time we played them, that she was certifiable. Crazy temper…it wasn’t pretty.

not super surprising considering he’s been coaching in the two best leagues in cbb and that the regular season has never been his thing. i guess it’s a little surprising that the number is that high, but not shocking. meanwhile rick barnes has road wins at wisconsin and kentucky this year alone. nobody will care if tennessee doesn’t make the elite 8 or better.

rick barnes wins a ton in the regular season, doesn’t win in the tourney, you say he sucks.

chris beard loses double digits in the regular season every year and is a tourney dynamo and you crush him for not winning more in the regular season.

and people say texas fans have unrealistic expectations.

I'm old and lazy, someone give me the brief update on this situation. All I see is Ole Miss losing every time I see a score against a good team and then I see they're #62 in KenPom. He just not get his guys yet or what? As of right now his team is shittier than ours.

considering Ole Miss is a basketball wasteland and they were 12-21 last year losing to good and bad teams on the reg, I'd say he is ahead of schedule.  whether he keeps building on it is TBD.

Their two Q1 wins are at A&M and at UCF. They also beat Mississippi State at home. UCF isn't making the tournament. A&M and Miss State are probably borderline right now. Hard to make a case for an at-large bid if you look up at the end of the year and have only beaten 1 tournament-level team.

So yes, the trend is they lose when they play a team with a pulse. But as was pointed out above, the bar for success is extremely low at a school like Ole Miss, so for it being year 1 is he doing a good job in their eyes.

[Hookem2147 21345]

Also, Tre Mitchell finally got his revenge on Beard last night.

[Huckleberry 33049]

Oh I'm sure he's doing a fine job relatively speaking but at the same time it's basketball in the transfer portal era. It's a lot easier to have a first season turnaround in that sport right now than any other college sport ever. Obviously time will tell but I'd bet on him to have on-court success, of course.

The funny thing is they both only play about 15 minutes a game. Beard still loves his smaller lineups and plays Brakefield (6'8) as the tallest guy on the floor at times, not too different than what he did here.

I don't think he dislikes size as much as he just likes being able to deploy his defense a certain way.

[TejasPedro 1858]

Is Scott Drew ready to make the jump to the SEC? Drew at Texas, in the SEC would probably win 7to10 championships.
Bet we could get a good deal on his slightly regarded little brother.
 

Would even consider Drew Scott at this point.

Post COVID Beard's NCAA tournament record is getting to the 2nd round twice. That's it. 2-2.

He had two good years at Tech and other than that the 2nd round is as far as he's gone.

His tourney record is not that much better than Shaka fucking Smart's except he had 2 good years instead of 1. Little early to call him a "tourney dynamo."

Edited February 14 by MotownHorn

[Pancho 44894]

I mean, there’s also an asterisk on that. He wasn’t able to finish out last year. If he was the coach, I think we would have won the whole fucking thing.

[MotownHorn 1770]

If I say that this year's team is a few points and 2 bad losses from being 4th in the Big 12 and sitting pretty you tell me that's Aggy talk.

Yet here you are writing fan fiction about what might have happened if Chris Beard was not a fucking idiot who got arrested for a physical altercation with a woman.

You can't make this shit up

Okay.

What does her being a woman have to do with anything? Would Texas still fired him if it was his gay lover? Would the innanet message boards care as much?

1) if you’re a grown adult and you don’t understand why it’s worse for a man to get into a physical altercation with a woman than a man I don’t think anything I say will change that. That’s on your parents, not me.

2) ok fine you’re right. It doesn’t matter at all. The specifics of the felony he was charged with matter less than the fact that his dumbass got charged with a felony the night before a game and we all got to see pictures of him in a prison jumpsuit by the time the game tipped off

Beard certainly has the potential to become a “tourney dynamo” and top coach. But he hasn’t really earned those labels yet. Maybe he would have last year and maybe he wouldn’t have. We’ll never know thanks to his own dumb actions 

He has as many final four appearances as Shaka at this point in time.

•took UALR (no.235 in kenpom the previous year) to a 30 win season, made the tourney and won a game in his first/only year

•took Texas f’ing Tech to the elite 8 and then national title game in his second and third year

•took over a Texas roster that was ready to win about 5 total games when he arrived and in his first season as HC led Texas to its first tourney win since 2014 with a team that had zero shooting, athleticism, or nba talent 

•built and drilled his second texas roster so well that rodney f’ing terry won the big xii tourney and took them to the elite 8

•has never lost in the first round

•has 10 tourney wins in 4 tourney appearances, meaning his average tourney appearance sees him playing in the second weekend

yeah but other than that, he's Shaka Smart....said someone.

[MotownHorn 1770]

I go with facts instead of speculation.

The fact is he has as many Final 4 appearances as Shaka. Y'all are pining for a dude who will never be at Texas again due to his own terrible fuckup and has as many Final Fours as Shaka.

I find it sad tbh.

you keep saying this, insinuating that chris beard is no better in the tourney than shaka smart is, when that couldn’t be further from the truth. 

Shaka’s career and tourney accomplishments:

•2010- CBI champ

•2011- Final Four with worst at-large team ever (and the pinnacle of his tourney career)

•2012- second round as a 12 seed

•2013- second round loss by 25 pts in a 4/5 game

•2014- 1st round loss to SFA as a 5 seed

•2015- 1st round loss as a 7 seed

•2016- 1st round loss to Northern Iowa as a 6 seed

•2017- finished last in the big xii, missed the tourney

•2018- blew 14 point second half lead in 1st round loss to nevada 

•2019- won the NIT

•2020- would have missed the tourney barring a conference tourney title 

•2021- lost to ACU in the worst tourney performance i’ve ever seen 

•2022- lost by 28 in an 8 vs 9 matchup 

•2023- lost by 9 in second round as a 2 seed

 

vs

 

Chris Beard career and tourney accomplishments:

 

•2016: beat (kenpom no.9) purdue as a 12 seed with UALR coming off a terrible season with a patchwork roster comprised of transfers 

•2017: no postseason in first year at TTU

•2018: Elite 8

2019: national runner up, loss in OT to no.1 overall seed

2020: no tourney due to pandemic 

2021: made second round as a 6 seed

2022: won Texas’s first tourney game since 2014 with a patchwork roster that was built in three months

 

shaka smart has as many tourney wins since 2011 as chris beard got in his second year/first tourney at TTU. but yeah, they’re basically the same guy. 🙄
