[Loose Cannon]

To be sure that he'd be working somewhere this year.

Your Logic is Flawless.

If Beard ends up at Texas Tech that will be ridiculous.  He was announced as the UNLV head coach.  We are not just talking about rumors or a contract written up then a last minute decision not to sign.

Now coaches can even last one season before moving on?  I understand the regents thing but then why did he sign the contract?

You must be a young fan. This isn't new at all. Altman pig sooey'd his way through a cringe inducing press conference in Fayetteville only to take the redeye that night back to Omaha 10 years ago.

or the time Billy Donovan left to coach in the NBA only to renege almost before the plane landed

Just like TC.

And yet, college coaches are the first to lecture players about loyalty and commitment.

What a pathetic group. No better than politicians.

College coaches are scum. Some have threatened to ruin kids careers for decomitting, but yea, coaches are soooo loyal.

To be fair, college coaches and politicians aren't the only group affected by this malady. Plenty of "regular" folk, including many in this forum, have had moments of disloyalty and broken commitments in their life.

Wish I was young fan.  I only mildly remember that (see:  if I was young fan I WOULD remember).

I get meeting with the school and having a verbal agreement.  But to sign a contract, be officially announced, hold a press conference and then say "no"?  Not cool.

Maybe it's just a negotiation tactic.

Well he'd have to pay the buyout so legally he is abiding by the terms of his contract.  Ethically I don't know.  On the one hand he made a commitment and should stick to it.  But if this is his "dream job" I can understand that to a point.

Didn't even think of the buyout.  I guess a decent consolation for UNLV being left at the altar.

A buyout effectively paid by Memphis.  $900K to TTU for Tubby, $1 Mil from TTU to UNLV for Chris Beard.

Leaving for Indiana University.....a bit different than leaving for Vagina Tech

I wonder if Bo's name is going to surface out at UNLV this go around.  He has a house out there and he has experience with other dumpster fires.  (UWM.)

The UNLV gig was going to be just a stepping stone for him until he could get any job in Texas.  I figured he'd end up at TCU (figured Dixon wouldn't jump).

By TT opening up, UNLV gets to avoid losing a coach after 1-3 years and instead can focus on a guy that actually may want to be there. 

This is a bit of an unusual situation, but likely works out for the best for all parties.

If I'm Ben Carter I'm on the next plane to Milwaukee to plead my case to Wojo.

The only problem would be the mascot name. Pretty sure they'd have to be renamed the Walkin' Rebels.

Nah, he's all done. Shot his load at da last gig, ai na?

Kinda ironic, given that he had such a striking resemblance to the mascot at his last gig.

Exactly this. It wasn't a wise choice for UNLV and now they get a shot to fix it. Plus money. Everyone wins.

Team sponsor can be Viagra or Cialis. 

[naginiF]

Team sponsor can be Viagra or Cialis.

that's irrational!  yes, they can afford more but there is 0% chance he hasn't already signed a deal with either www.ashleymadison.com (the madison part works on so many levels), or AutoZone.
