Again, you don't know sh... about the situation. Read up on it (if you can) to find aout the specifics. Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone! He didn't do what you "heard" he did.
Why can't it be Chris Beard?

Maybe OTS will come back to make you happy?
Does the fact his then fiance, who has said it multiple times, that he didn't choke her (which is why everyone says there was a beating)?
Eff off dude. Just because you read an article spinning it a different way doesn’t mean you know anymore than anyone. The cops showed up, her neck had hand marks on it and her face was swollen. How dumb are you?
It seemed like his accuser backtracked after she realized it would ruin his career
That’s exactly what happened as is often the case in abusive relationships. The guy is a complete scum bag.
Don't recall their being any outrage nationally when Old Miss hired him.
Sometimes these PR issues are a 24/48 hour life cycle and then you never hear about it again.
Example being the Chiefs brought in that punter with his Rape allegations was a 24 hour life cycle if even that and no one is talking about it.
I will say though it would be hard to stomach knowing our coach beat his wife on our sidelines. Kentucky wouldn't likely want to bring him in knowing that.

That’s unfortunately a well studied phenomenon in abusive relationships even when someone’s big dollar career isn’t at stake. It’s extremely common for victims to drop charges and attempt to reconcile with their partner. None of us were there to know exactly what happened, but the charges being dropped definitely does not mean that the whole incident was made up or exaggerated in this case. I know that he’s in the clear legally, but there’s enough in the police report to make me feel uncomfortable wanting him to be the single biggest public face of the university.
Texas let him go when he had the #7 ranked team. It's not like he was failing, and they used this as a good excuse to terminate him with cause. I think this statement from the VP of the UT legal department to Beard's lawyer suggests that UT did some digging of their own and didn't like what they found, probably in addition to the fact that he physically assaulted his girlfriend.
“Additionally, your letter this morning reveals that Mr. Beard does not understand the significance of the behavior he knows he engaged in, or the ensuing events that impair his ability to effectively lead our program. This lack of self-awareness is yet another failure of judgment that makes Mr. Beard unfit to serve as a head coach at our university. For these reasons, the university proceeds to terminate Mr. Beard. The attached letter is his termination notice and will be part of his employee file.”
If I were an AD, I wouldn't touch Beard with a 10 ft pole, especially in a pressure cooker job like UK.

Letter to Chris Beard’s lawyer lays out rationale for termination
Beard was offered the opportunity to resign before he was terminated for cause.

No, if you read the article is was basically Beard (through his attorney) refusing to resign because no charges were going to be filed. And Texas saying, regardless of legal standing, we're going to fire you "for cause" based on the "behavior" of that evening. That's it. My guess is Beard didn't resign leaving the door open for a future lawsuit for wrongful termination, and I'd say he's probably got a good one. More than likely it was his fallback if he couldn't find a job.Texas let him go when he had the #7 ranked team.

Unfortunately for him, that type of smoke regardless how it turns out, is never good. The bigs dogs aren’t interested. It’s that simple.
I bet he's not at Ole Miss long. But I honestly thought the same thing about Kiffin too. Must not be that bad.

"Yet another failure of judgement" tells me that when Texas started digging, they found some other disturbing things, and probably why Beard didn't and is highly unlikely to ever sue. Beard was highly successful at the time and Texas didn't hesitate to cut him loose. That tells me all I need to know.
Lack of self-awareness is failure of judgement #2. The first was obviously the incident that was the antecedent to the second.
In a perfect world, you get into an argument with your SO and she takes a swipe at you and breaks your glasses...you just simply walk away.
