On Monday, Ole Miss announced Chris Beard would be hired as the next head basketball coach after firing Kermit Davis during its latest season.
Beard was previously the coach at Texas where he had strong success but off the court allegations of domestic violence in December 2022 with his fiancé led to his termination. Just last month the charges against Beard were dropped.
That’s going to be the first couple paragraphs just about every pundit, blog, and broadcaster says about the Ole Miss and Beard hiring. There will certainly be a lot of criticism levied against Ole Miss, Keith Carter and also the SEC.
