My response...did his attorney really misspell 'coaching' in first sentence?

And what font is this?

so let me get this straight. "investigation" not done properly if done at all, wrong conclusion. innocent man. no charges/charges won't stick. yet the coach is fired.

why does this sound familiar?

I wonder how toxic he will be in the future.

This may hinder him from getting another head coaching job for some time.

Maybe after all the court cases are complete and some counselling (and maybe a donation or 2 to batter women operations) we will see him again prowling the sidelines.

Not sure his attorney is following a realistic plan. His job was cooked at UT with the 9-1-1 call. The recant by the fiancee and the somewhat creepy reference by his lawyer to video from the bedroom that would allegedly exonerate him, does not cover up the original statements, and supposed physical evidence (bite marks?) on the victim. If the aim is a protracted legal battle with the University that might possibly induce Texas to settle for a portion of the $35mm--enough to pay the legal bills and some walking away money--so be it. That process, however, will not make Beard any more hirable than he is now. If his aim is to get back into coaching (or commentating), the best recommendation is to ask for forgiveness, get himself into therapy, aim for a road back in 2-5 years, and make sure the video never sees the light of day.

I genuinely struggle with the line between arrest and conviction. Especially in a domestic. You get really mad, a partner calls 911 and makes a false report. You may be innocent but too late.

Oddly, domestic violence did not seem to hurt Britney Griner become a national hero.

Isn't there some soccer coach being fired because it surfaced he and how wide of 35 years were in domestic violence counting in 1990?

He was "couching" at UT?

A great move for Texas would be Tang based on how he is doing at KSU to date. I'm not sure one season of experience would be enough for them though.

When the DA decides not to reduce it to a misdemeanor from a felony, that is when UT fires Beard. An incident occurred. That is fact. Whether or not he is convicted he violated his contract.

This isn't complicated. These agreements are pretty air tight.

His attorney will threaten to smear UT across every page claiming his client's innocence and claiming UT did him wrong until some money is paid. See Art Briles...
