Texas HC Chris Beard -- this is very unfortunate -- and interesting in comparison ...
- Thread starter DT_PITT
- Start date
Choked his wife. With the time of night and knowing Beard, was probably 12 deep. Bad situation.
Man, are these athletes and coaches just wired wrong in their brains? Very disturbing and unfortunate. Something is terribly wrong with these people. And Beard is just plain stupid.
Now we'll have those who defend him and say nothing can be proven, or wait until we hear the whole story, or the charges will be reduced or dropped. There are no excuses whatsoever for this. One thing we can say about Capel...he'd never do this type of thing to anyone. He is a decent, caring person.

Nah. I think people sometimes forget that while super high profile and talented in maybe elite ways, they’re still human beings prone to the same things as anyone else. These incidents get all the attention and we then think how could they be that stupid as to blow it.
Funnily enough, their highly rated freshmen who hasn’t missed a game got arrested for similar charges as Dior in the summer
https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/i...uit-accused-of-assaulting-girlfriend/3019569/ sorry, July he was arrested
I linked the article after the original post. Violence against a female, not sure exactly where the charges landed. But not even a game???
Texas is serious about athletics and Pitt isn't I guess.
Beard has a history with alcohol so, when I saw the time that this occurred, that’s where my mind unfortunately went.
He’ll be suspended pending investigation and my guess is, unless new details emerge to clear him, that Texas severs ties in the offseason

Sorry, but I was never prone to strangling anyone and I'm very human. I make mistakes, too. This wasn't a mistake that Beard did. This was a complete meltdown and insanity. Of course there are others out there assaulting people the same way, and they are also insane. No excuse. Beard has a serious mental deficiency and sickness.
I forgot, this is his fiancé not wife. He also has 3 daughters.
Looks like he may be going back to the double wide
No. Clemson or Pitt. But clemson first choice will be Richie riley
But that mental illness (or a drunken rampage) has nothing to do with him being a coach. And I never used the word mistake by the way. Your original post asks if it’s athletes and coaches brains. Coaches, athletes, actors, musicians, whoever are all human beings prone to the same things. They get placed on a pedestal by some which leads to more shock because of “who they are”. This stuff goes in all day every day in every level of society.
I hear what you're saying and agree somewhat. That's more an incrimination of society with these people on pedestals being worshipped than anything. And yes, it does go on in other professions. But this is a sports message board and this is what we see and hear every day. So that's what we focus on.
Difference is Beard is a highly paid middle aged man in a leadership position. Not excusing Dior at all but it’s much worse for Beard if the allegations are true.
I've gotten black out drunk more times than I know. Ill never understand the violent drunk. I just was always happy having a good time. Annoying, yes but angry or violent, never.
Automatic firing. Go to jail. Worthless piece of crap!!! Speaking from a person who had that same exact father type.
I'm the same. I've been crazy drunk a few more times in my life than I care to mention. And all I was doing was having a good time with friends, colleagues. I can't imagine getting violent because of it. But I can't account for other personality types and psyches that exist out there. If violence becomes a part of a person's actions, whether drunk or not, there is a serious problem that needs some medical help. This guy Beard needs to be under the care of a psychiatrist and possibly in a mental hospital for a period of time. And never again as a coach of young people.
Yes, he should be in jail right now and staying there for a long time. Qualifying, it would be a jail for the mentally ill because he is that.
1 in 3 Texans will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. ...I love these sweeping generalizations (such as what constitutes domestic violence in this context) that are in no way based on actual fact....
Reminds me of the 1 in 5 women will be victims of sexual assault or in college fallacy..
Some on here think he deserves a second chance if he pleads down to a lower offense. I mean the team needs this coach right. Can he coach while on probation?
Texas colored ankle monitor.

Our justice system is based on the notion of "innocent until proven guilty." Saying that is not to defend him, it is to reiterate reality. Just as it is with every other person who is arrested.
So does their HFC have a similar history.
Hmmmm.. . . 🤔 What could possibly go wrong? 🤷♂️
So you're saying let him out of jail so he can coach because he's innocent until proven guilty? You're probably also in the camp of saying if he is proven guilty, which has a very high probability, he should be out on the streets and allowed to coach as well while he files his appeals, which he will.
Of course, he won't be able to travel to away games and he'll have to wear an ankle bracelet at all times. But who knows. With the way we baby these jocks, he'd get "special" treatment.

Why do you think it’s a fallacy ?
Sheesh most every woman I know has stories
I didn't say anything about him coaching - that is up to his employers. You also said, without any evidence, that he is mentally ill and should be in jail. His mental state, if it is in question, is determined by a process, not by people who claim that he is mentally ill.So you're saying let him out of jail so he can coach because he's innocent until proven guilty?

Well if the choices are victims of sexual assault or in college then lets get more of them enrolled, pronto!
Based on the arrest report, we’ve probably seen the last of Beard. Very disturbing stuff.
Feel for those kids and those around the program. They certainly didn’t sign up to be part of this and now this story is going to become the main talking point.

Are you implying that the Texas Department of Public Safety doesn't know what they're talking about?
Wait, I take that back, given the conflicting information they disseminated about Uvalde.
