that's sad to hear if true- article states he was also charged with "impeding breath circulation" which would imply some sort of choking.

Don't assume too much about the integrity of any collegiate sports institution.

just crazy
well, he's done at Texas. Im not saying he wont ever coach again , but its going to be a pretty long road back to him ever getting a chance at a head coaching job again.
I mean, If he cant control his emotions inside his home, how can anyone trust him at work ?
just wow

He'll coach at Auburn or Liberty or Baylor or Penn State or some other similarly morally bankrupt institution again someday.
A bit of caution about his guilt might be advisable.

... and the details of the matter generally until they're clear.
Well, if this is true I pray whomever he assaulted is alright and he never gets near a college athlete again. We should wait to see what the facts are, but this doesn't sound like it will end well for him.
Yeah, this doesn’t look good at all.
But as always, arrested does not equal guilty. Let’s see where this goes.
With domestic stuff though, where there’s smoke there’s (often) fire.
Hopefully the alleged victim didn’t get hurt too badly no matter what comes of it.

All I can say is wow…
Yikes... I guess it depends on what the cops observed. Sometimes, the complainant's opinion doesn't matter.
Do yourself a favor and start reading the TTU, UT, TCU, OU forums etc
I've seen this play out in the criminal justice system before, and it is legitimately sad how often domestic abuse victims refuse to pursue criminal charges. Charges dropped under these circumstances often does not mean the accused didn't do it.
Not passing judgment one way or the other on Beard, just commenting on the particularly tricky nature of domestic abuse and violence.
I would assume in Austin there would be body cam footage.

99% of the time, when cops get called to a domestic situation, someone is getting arrested. Often just based on the cops observations. The spouse or family member having second thoughts about it all, often doesnt matter
he may be 'not guilty' legally, but hes screwed right now
he may be 'not guilty' legally, but hes screwed right now
To add to your point: Many states require some sort of action in domestic disturbances like this. At the very least a 72 hour " cooling off" period is required. (Had a friend get picked up in Colorado a few years ago based on what next door neighbors heard, nothing was even seen)
I was actually pretty surprised by his poise in our game when his players started turning the ball over in crunch time. Between the two coaches in that game, Underwood had the unhinged moments.
Surprised we’ve gone this deep into the thread without any mention of this being his second involvement in a choke in less than a week.
