I don't buy this. Look at Baylor University. Murders, rapes and scandals galore. I don't see much negativity from media or many folks for that matter. In fact, they were able to raise plenty of cash for their football stadium, post scandals. And they are still competitive in many top sports.

Anybody who thinks it's desirable or even possible for Beard or Marshall to be the next coach has pretty much forfeited their right to criticize the players BB|Q.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

Winning solves everything
He was unemployable for several years even though he was a proven winner. His rehab was two years of unemployment followed by getting a low-level job at WSU where he wasn't even an assistant coach.
that was for grabbing a woman's butt in a bar when the woman didn't complain.
When there's a police report that documents bruises, contusions, and bite marks on the woman, but doesn't document a single mark on the guy, it's pretty tough to claim self defense and make it go away.
WSU already has a former coach with well-documented anger management issues (Canada). Then there are allegations that he punched a player, which resulted in his termination. WSU CANNOT bring that coach back and expect him to recruit at anything resembling the level at which he previously recruited.
Bringing in another coach with obvious anger management issues who is facing possible felony domestic violence charges would be an incredibly stupid hire.
A coach has to be able to go into a recruit's home and talk to his mother. It could take a decade before Mama forgets that Marshall was alleged to be abusive. Mama isn't going to want Beard anywhere near her home. That's likely to fade into memory quicker than Marshall's alleged incidents.
The emotion that Marshall brought is what made him the successful coach that he was. That same high level of emotion is what eventually brought him down.
Bill Self cheated his a$$ off for years, and he's one of the most respected coaches. Marshall and Beard are on the other end of that spectrum. Make either of them the coach and the color commentators on TV will keep their indiscretions alive as long as they're coaching.
Winning is everything, but the ability to win has to be taken into consideration when hiring a coach. the ability to recruit and maintain recruits is the most important value a coach can have in the current environment. Marshall's record in his later years doesn't indicate that he had the ability to keep players in the program.
We've got an AAC top tier contender if the players who left under Marshall's watch were still here.

1)Gregg Marshall is not coming back.
2)Pass on Greg Heiar. I don't believe he's capable of running this program and I don't believe he's a long term solution. He would be an upgrade, but barely.
