He didn't hire Sampson at Houston.

Sampson turned HY down before he hired muss.

Not necessarily. For times like this I like to look around for cause and effect instead of just what our people are saying. Confident is the last word I'd use to describe how OM 247 guys felt about Beard when it came out our job was opening up.

Now for obvious reasons I'm less inclined to believe this, but there's also a screenshot of a text conversation between an Arkansas insider and an Ole Miss insider going around that says that Beard prefers this job so much that we basically only have to offer him and he's ours. But with how easily those are faked now, I'm taking it with a grain of salt until there's something more solid to prop that up with.

It does seem like we're making moves in Oxford's direction, though.
