Do you live in a mute world or something? 🫢
I’m sure the athletic directors are always in the office discussing their top 5 potential candidates. You are either extremely naive or something else if you think people are buying that lol. All in good fun though man I’m not trying to go back and forth.

I mean, considering a large part of their job is to constantly evaluate, fire, hire and have contingency plans, yea, I would say they discuss it with certain people quite a bit. Then those people end up talking to others, and before long those secrets aren't so secret.

You're free to believe anything you like. I am not here to convince you of anything.

Most likely but these are initial charges. If it was only he and his wife in the house, yeah, he's in some deep poo. In all likelihood he's screwed but I've finally reached an age that I'm learning to wait for information before jumping on the bandwagon.
I mean I’m not firing him until it’s done or some real flaming evidence hit my desk. But if I’m AD he’s immediately suspended and banned from campus until charges are either dropped or he’s found innocent.

Tweet says the victim was his fiancé

There’s also a statement by his lawyer saying he’s 100% innocent, never should have been arrested and that victim wants him released
Yeah because people who are victims of DA NEVER defend their abuser.

Again. He’s charged with a FELONY. That means there’s some serious evidence or potential testimony. I highly doubt the DA slapped a felony charge over a misunderstanding.

The threshold for that kind of charge usually requires sufficient physical evidence, including marks left on the victim. Misdemeanor battery cases can be more he said/she said, but to be charged with a felony, the officers on scene likely made that determination.

I won’t convict the man just yet, but it’s not looking good based on the arrest report and charges levied against him.
This. As much as conspiracy crap gets talked about, felony charges don’t get tossed about like candy. At least not without substantial probable cause.

What’s the DA’s alma mater?

If the accuser wants charges dropped, then why was LE called in the first place?

Also choking someone is no joke. This isn’t like you punching someone and then unforeseen consequences follow. When you choke someone the intent is to immediately cause harm and potential death. You choke somebody that’s not a “oops I lost my temper and slugged him” That’s a willful, intentional act of harm and it puts you in the aggressor position. For you to claim self defense in that you better have defensive wounds and be able to claim you were in fear of your life and the only way to subdue was to choke out the attacker.

In short, unless his lawyer is Johnny Cochran on steroids, Beats has some splaining to do.

Just relating information, not taking a side.

But if I were to take a side… To me it all looks very bad.

Happens a lot in DA cases. Abused calls in fear of their life (rightfully so) and then in fear of retaliation tries to have the charges dropped. They’re scared crap less. And think the only way to not get hurt is not stir the pot.

Also, DAs are very very very rarely a one off. It’s just like rapists. Unless Beard has a really good explanation for this? He just showed his true colors and if I had a kid on his team he wouldn’t play another minute for that SOB.

No I get it. But I hear that a lot with folks. “Why don’t they just leave? Why do they take them back?”

It’s not that easy. And restraining orders are mostly worthless. My uncle was a cop for 20+ years and while he agreed that ROs were part of the legal process and had to be done, he said never to rely on them for protection. For that, he would say, a boom stick is much more suited.

Sounds like it was his fiance’ and she wants charges dropped.


BREAKING: Prominent Austin attorney Perry Minton, representing Beard says: ‘Coach Beard is 100 percent innocent of these charges. He should have never been arrested. The complainant wants him released immediately and all charges dismissed. It is truly inconceivable.'”

Another reporter for the Statesman, Ryan Autullo, provided more critical information — that the complainant in this case is Beard’s fiance.

Stockholm syndrome. Unless you have been the victom of that, or at least watched someone go through it, you will never understand why the victim refuses to leave. It's really hard to just leave.

As a friend or family member, you can't just force them out either, that ends very badly most times.

I have a neice down in Florida that is going through it right now. The wife and I were the latest in a long line of people that knocked on her door to get her to come to her senses, no dice.

We were successful with another family member in that same situation though. She now lives with one of my daughters and actually works for me. It took me, 4 other guys and my daughter (social worker) to go over there, get her and move her stuff out, but that was after she came to us and asked us to get her out of the situation. He had choked her out 3 times. She had one condition, "please don't verbally, or physically attack him, just please come get me". It’s been a year and she has stayed the course, but he still calls her every once in a while.

It’s definitely a tough situation.

He better be glad he's not in a commonwealth state. There be no chances of charges being dropped for domestic violence.

Say it with me:
The O'Commonwealth will pick it up LOL. 👍
