Hopefully they hire in house instead of couple miles down the road

I’m very nervous now that we may not hold onto Joe for too long. Gosh I hate today.

I could see Tech going after McCasland and then Joe ending up at UNT. That’s the most likely scenario in my head that has us losing him. I don’t know what it is but I just don’t see Tech seriously going after Joe. I think they want someone that’s proven on the big stage.

One thing to watch, don't think this will happen, but it could- Joe heads to Austin with Beard to become the assistant head coach. Sounds farfetched, but there were rumors about this last year when rumors were going around that Smart get be fired.

Very hypothetically if Joe ended up leaving...could we keep Tanner? I would feel very comfortable with him leading our program if Joe moves on.

Sounds like the top assistant under beard is similar to tanner under joe. Defensive gurus that both coaches really covet. Would either be considered for HC jobs or would either continue to follow the HC to their new location?
I really don’t know if joe would want to be assistant to Beard in Austin or if he would want to continue paving his own path. Austin seems toxic for coaches over the past decade.

IF Joe were to leave for a bigger program, I feel certain he would take Coach Tanner with him. But, I do think it will take a bigger program than UNT to lure Joe away. One caveat: Joe was good friends with Jared Mosley and he is asst AD at UNT

I would not want ANYTHING to do with coaching in Austin. They treat their coaches horribly, and are not near the powerhouse they once were.

Austin paper just posted that Beard has taken the UT job. With him getting paid $5 million at TTU, how much is UT paying him? $10 million?

UT may have just become a “basketball school”, at least in terms of coaches salary if he ends up making more than Sarkisian. Ha!!!

Just putting it out there for discussion: Can we compete with, or get in the ballpark with UNT for funding and coaches salaries, at least in other sports except football? I know competing with Tech would be nearly impossible at this time, but could we get close enough to UNT, that school loyalty, and not having to move your family would come into play?

I was surprised when I saw what Beard makes at Tech. He has done a good job there but it still surprised me that Tech was shelling out that kind of money. It may be tough to keep Joe if salaries in the million dollar range are being waved in his face. While that's true but what if Joe doesn't want the pressure of having to make the March Madness tournament in two years before the boosters at Tech start looking for someone to replace him? How many years of ACU salary make up two year at tech? 5 or 6? Seems like a risk worth taking

I think it’s safe to say that joe will always be welcomed back at ACU, even in the role of coaching here again if that were an option. If he leaves then I hope it’s for a really good opportunity and not a small step but rather a big jump. I hope that the resources and the commitment to success from our admin leave this as an enticing opportunity for new candidates to want to come in.
