Beard is done

[Sirhornsalot]

If Beard says ANYTHING about the matter, it will become a beach-ball topic, always getting batted around and never quite hitting the ground. He did the smart thing.

It seems like he could have made some kind of statement that showed some regret, and then said that is all he is ever going to say on the matter. To say he isn't avoiding the question seems disingenuous.

It obviously best for him and Ole Miss for him to close the book on this. I just thought it was clumsy how he did it.

A quote from one of the Ole Miss Suits, “We are excited to welcome Coach Beard and his daughters, Avery, Ella and Margo, to the Ole Miss family," Carter said. "We thoroughly evaluated a number of outstanding candidates, and there is no doubt Coach Beard is one of the top coaches in the nation. After conducting due diligence and speaking to a number of individuals on and off the court, it was evident he is the right person to guide our team to greatness."

hmm, welcome and come on down coach beard and bring your three daughters. .but, but, but wait, whatta about his lady?   She’s not mentioned.  Wonder if that was part of his deal.  Interesting!

Last night an Austin news channel showed a clip of him walking onto the Ol Miss court with his daughters right behind him, Randi Trew was nowhere in sight.

Heres the thing, neither he nor Randi have come out and denied that physical violence occurred. 

He refers to her statement from 12/23. She walked back a few things, including the strangling accusation but even then, did not deny a physical altercation.

If there was no physical altercation, don't you think we would be hearing that from Beard and/or Randi? 

Lastly, here is a link to the police affidavit. If you are standing up for coach Beard, how exactly do you explain the injuries that were documented as being observed by the police officers responding (page 3)? https://twitter.com/AnwarRichardson/status/1602441327643594752/photo/3

I think when you read the police report,  and consider the nature of the relationship, and the financial aspects it was very predictable that she would back off eneugh for the charges to be dropped. I think most people believe he behaved in a most unacceptable way. That's not to say that he should be denied all opportunities,  and is irredeemable. 

I don't know what all of the legal ramifications are, but I would look better on it if he accepted some responsibility,  and indicated he is taking steps to address his demons. Think about Sark, we know he made some big mistakes in his life, but he was able to move past it by confronting his issues,  to a point where it isn't something he needs to hide from.

Expressing regret indicates or implies guilt. He couldn't do that.

I will guarantee you this.   Beard won’t be as good at Ole Miss like he was at Tech/Texas.

he’s using Ole Miss to build back his reputation then will jump to another big school in 3-5 years (assuming he wins at Ole Miss).

I’m over his saga and want to spend my limited time on hoping Terry is the right guy.  If he is, it means we do well in the tourney!

Yeah, but Sark's issues were there for everyone to see and done over a prolonged period of time. The acceptance of Sark was not immediate, even while at Alabama.

I think it was best for Texas to move on, although technically, he isn't guilty of anything. If the police report was the end-all for Texas, then Texas should have said as much. 

It appears that he's moved on from his girlfriend and that's probably a good thing for him. She obviously did not bring out the best in him.

I think you are on to something here for sure. Being an alcoholic isn't illegal. So Sark can admit to that with no legal ramifications.

Had Beard given any explanation of his actions during this pressor it could be used in court as evidence and maybe the dropped charges would be picked back up. 

I do think he could give a carefully worded statement of regret for whatever occurred and explained how he has rectified things without also admitting guilt on the domestic violence charge.
