Yea Beard is an elite coach who is paid to win games. I’ve noticed over the years it’s the programs who are struggling to be relevant or win big that always start pointing to ethical considerations when they can’t point to banners. We saw this often in Cals last 6 years, even by Calipari himself - but “ he’s helping the community”.
In his first 6 or 7 many of us would laugh at the ethical nonsense sprayed by other struggling programs. The “PayPalCal” days.
Indiana does this often as well. Points to how dirty “everyone else” is.
It’s just excuses. We said the same about Calipari when he was at Memphis. I did it constantly back then too, having reasons why Memphis was out performing Tubby, made it about morals because we couldn’t get over the hump. So I’ve been guilty of it.
If Ole Miss says it’s okay to hire Beard then their investigation into the matter should suffice the rest. These universities aren’t hiring a man they know is a woman beater lol. And if we hired Beard and he won big we’d all say it was a misunderstanding and hang the banners if he brought them.
