I would hope that we make Beard choice no. 1. At least we don't have Ross Bjork making this hire. He was such a bad AD.

We could hire him now if we wanted to because he’s not coaching anywhere.


We wouldn't announce before our season is over. Let that news drop the Tuesday or Wednesday before March madness starts. It'll be out of the media the second an upset happens that Thursday

Neal thinks Beard is the top target and if Ole Miss hires a new coach next week it’s probably Beard. I think it’s pretty much either Beard or May at this point.

We should know today right? I have no doubt we lose to UT.

I’m so removed from OM basketball I didn’t even know Kermit was fired.

He was fired 2-3 weeks ago. This is the most interested I’ve been in Ole Miss basketball for almost 2 years. Our program desperately needs to make the Beard hire

Beard is the same as the Kiffin hire to me.

All the other fan bases going in “he’s just going to leave in a few years for a better school.”

So they performed well enough to leave for a blue blood and leave the program in a better state than when they came in?

Oh the horror.

If he’s not announced today, it’s not happening as far as I’m concerned. It wouldn’t surprise me if Beard wants to look at other options

On3 is already talking about what assistants may join Beards staff here. Still sounds like it's all but certain.

Saw from some Blue Check on twitter that announcement was to be expected to be "as soon as Monday"

Nope. At this point, I’ll believe it when I see it. It wouldn’t surprise me if he is just flirting with us in order to show other programs there is interest in him

Not that long. USC had a contract signed within 24 hours after contacting Lincoln Riley

Feel like we’re waiting to announce this on selection Sunday to limit any media backlash.

Logically that makes sense. This is the absolute best time to make a hire like this because it’s going to get drowned our by everything else going on

If it really came down to Beard and May I would say Carter was on point with his finalists
