It's better than the other thread that has almost nothing related to actual coaching. It's just a debate about who is responsible for buyouts, why they exist, and how to get out of them.Did I miss something? Is JD leaving a foregone conclusion? This thread reads like he's already packed the uhaul.
Beard’s pre-Tech resume included:
- coaching under Knight at Tech having recruited the region
- being a really good D2 coach in the same recruiting region
- taking UALR to the Tournament in his one year there
As I think you were getting at, that’s likely gonna be impossible to replicate
Only issue is he has no ties to Texas. I think he would be a homerun hire but doubt he has the name recognition for TCU to consider him.Craig Smith is as close as it gets in my opinion.
I'd add Kelvin Sampson to that list.
Well, let's see, he only made $1.6M last year at Houston, better conference and better recruiting, better city, better facilities, and a chance to stick it to his old school twice a year come readily to mind. The only thing Houston is trying to do right now is up the money. All other aspects remain the same.Can you tell me why in the hell Kelvin Sampson would come here to coach? Just wondering.
I like Craig Smith and think he could be a really good hire...He’s a bit of live wire though..Kind of a guy fans love but opponents fans think is a d-bag.
Speaking of good coaches who have a bit of reputation...No love for Gregg Marshall at Wichita St?...Guy has a great resume
Isn’t Kelvin dancing with Arky right now?Well, let's see, he only made $1.6M last year at Houston, better conference and better recruiting, better city, better facilities, and a chance to stick it to his old school twice a year come readily to mind.

Fort Worth does a lot of things better than Houston but being a basketball city is not one of them.Well, let's see, he only made $1.6M last year at Houston, better conference and better recruiting, better city, better facilities, and a chance to stick it to his old school twice a year come readily to mind.

Based on the section where I have my seats, 300% of that 6500 was tech fans.Per NCAA 2018 avg attendance TCU 6500, UH 3600.
I know that there is a deal in the works, but I haven't seen anything definitive that says he's signed. All articles I've seen so far say "he's close to" or "reportedly" signing/singing. If he has, good for him, but he doesn't seem to be in a rush.You obviously haven't been to UH's Tillman Fertitta Center. It's no dump. He's also just signed a 6 yr $18 million deal.

I have not been to the Tillman Fertitta Center..... but I HAVE been to the University of Houston.
Why is this important? He needs name recognition in Australia if he is to be successful at TCU.Only issue is he has no ties to Texas. I think he would be a homerun hire but doubt he has the name recognition for TCU to consider him.
