Can Keith Carter and Chris Beard ‘fix’ Ole Miss basketball?

Published

on

For Ole Miss AD Keith Carter, when the due diligence matches up with the coach on the rebound the gamble is worthy of the risk. It proved out with Lane Kiffin. Will it work with Chris Beard?

As a young athletics director Keith Carter made aggressive moves to fix Ole Miss football.

He fired a beloved former player in Matt Luke as the program, navigating NCAA sanctions at the end of the Hugh Freeze Era, had fallen into mediocre performance and even less in the way of excitement.

Lane Kiffin made things better.

Now will Carter’s second high-profile hire fix Ole Miss basketball with which Carter is so intimately familiar?

If Lane Kiffin was a program uniter Chris Beard has been less so, not because of his incredible success on the floor but because of one unfortunate night away from it.

Chris Beard, having moved from Texas Tech to Texas, had domestic violence issues in Austin. A third-degree felony charge was dropped, a decision encouraged by the alleged victim, girlfriend Randi Trew, but there was no real buffer time between jobs, no time to resettle.

Some might say no time for penance. The hirings of Kiffin and Beard are different in that regard.

Almost six weeks after being fired by the Longhorns on Jan. 5, 2023, Beard was back in major college basketball, hired by Ole Miss on Feb.15.

Carter went hard after Kiffin and has since managed his coach’s eccentricities.

Kiffin isn’t scared to say what he thinks, which makes him a social media hit but also far different from most coaches. His name has been associated annually with other programs, none more visible than last year’s in-season dance with Auburn.

Kiffin hasn’t beaten Alabama and didn’t have a real signature win before this season against LSU, but he’s won games.

He won 10 in 2021 and got the Rebels to the Sugar Bowl. Ole Miss floundered at the end of last season, but it’s not a stretch to think the Rebels will win nine or 10 games this season.

Kiffin is 29-14, 17-12 in the SEC.

Whether Ole Miss football is “fixed” means different things to different people, but there’s no question production and excitement are their highest since Freeze’s back-to-back pre-sanctions New Years Six bowl games.

“We had a little apathy in the program. We needed someone who could come in and galvanize the fan base. Coach Kiffin has been able to do both of those things, and that’s been fantastic.”

Kiffin coaching in the SEC was not a shock. Other teams had interest in him.

He had been a head coach in the NFL. He might have had big-time success had he stayed at Tennessee, but he left abruptly and returned to Southern Cal where he was unable to recreate the magic of his former boss, Pete Carroll, amid the NCAA scholarship cuts left by the former boss.

Kiffin had been on Carroll’s staff for six seasons, the last two as offensive coordinator. The Trojans were 23-3 then before Kiffin was named coach of the Oakland Raiders at just 31 years old.

Kiffin was a football nomad before he entered the Nick Saban Rehabilitation Program for Wayward Coaches. He saw the Crimson Tide lose to Freeze and Ole Miss twice – almost a third time in 2016 – but helped Alabama twice reach the national championship game including a title win in 2015.

Kiffin coached at Florida Atlantic from 2017-2019, and when Carter was making moves, he gambled that he could get a more mature, more settled Kiffin as Ole Miss coach.

Settled and mature may be up for debate, but the results are not.

“You want a coach who can perform on the field and recruit, but you also want a coach who can engage with the fan base. You want to find the absolute best coach that fits with your situation,” Carter said.

Fixing Ole Miss basketball

Carter was lightly recruited out of Perryville, Arkansas when he signed with former Ole Miss coach Rob Evans.

As a senior in 1999 he was an honorable mention AP All-American, a slick 3-point shooter who finished with 1,682 points, still seventh on the all-time list.

More important to Carter, he played on three Ole Miss teams that reached the NCAA Tournament.

The Rebels made the NCAAs in five out of six seasons under Evans and Rod Barnes from 1997-2002.

It was, perhaps, as close to a “golden age” as might exist for Ole Miss basketball.

Andy Kennedy replaced Barnes and in a 12-year run became the school’s winningest coach. He made two Final Fours, but they were of the NIT variety. Kennedy made just two NCAA Tournaments during his Ole Miss tenure.

March Madness was the main talking point for former athletics director Ross Bjork when he moved away from Kennedy in the spring of 2018.

Bjork said his vision for success for Ole Miss basketball included a team that more often than not woke up on Selection Sunday asking, “Where are we playing,” and not, “Are we in?”

Ole Miss lagged behind the rest of the SEC for years in terms of facilities, but that changed during Kennedy’s Administration with the coming of a new practice facility and a sparkling new arena, The Pavilion, to replace leaky-roofed Tad Smith Coliseum.

Kennedy called a sports writer over onto the floor at Tad Smith one day during practice. He pointed up and had him look at something blue on the ceiling. He said, “Do you know what that is?” The sports writer did not. Kennedy said, “That’s the sky, the sky! There’s a hole in the roof, and that’s the sky!”

Tad Smith’s warts became inconsequential in 2016. This season it’s being rebranded as a charming old venue for one non-conference game.

Jokes aside, Tad Smith rocked when Carter played. Fans filled it up, the team entered through the student section to take the floor, and Col. Reb rappelled to the floor amid falling streamers to deliver the game ball.

That’s the scene Carter remembers and wants to see again.

He doesn’t believe Bjork’s vision for Ole Miss basketball is unreasonable.

“If you look at Ole Miss basketball history there have been pockets of success,” Carter said.

There’s no clear answer for why consistency has lacked, he says, but he’s clear on the program’s potential now.

“I think it’s time to take that next step where we become that perennial NCAA Tournament team, that we go and make some deep runs. The expectation is there,” Carter said.

Getting to know Chris Beard

Hard-core college basketball fans knew of Chris Beard before 2019, but Beard cemented his name into the consciousness of less severe fans when he coached Texas Tech to an NCAA runner-up finish, falling to Virginia in the championship game in 2019.

The Red Raiders weren’t one-hit wonders.

They were in the Elite Eight the year before, in position for the Tournament when it was canceled by COVID in 2020 and back in the Dance in 2021.

He had the Longhorns in the Tournament in his first season in Austin and was 7-1 in his second season when he was fired.

Chris Beard had shown the postseason consistency Carter craved for Ole Miss.

The lure of the potential is what made Carter all-in on hiring Beard once he satisfied himself on what happened that night in Austin.

“His success on the court speaks for itself, but we knew there were more questions than that. As with any hire of this magnitude we were extremely thorough in our review of coach Beard. Delving into reports that led to his departure from Texas … those allegations we take very very seriously.

“So, it was important that we gained a clear understanding of that particular situation. The reports were not an accurate reflection of the events that happened. There were multi-level conversations with people of the events surrounding that night, and coach Beard was very transparent in our discussions with him,” Carter said.

Carter wasn’t going after a coach who had an affair years previously or perhaps had a reputation for living large in the local nightlife.

Those in and of themselves are serious problems for coaches who are tasked – fans hope – with developing the character of young men as much as developing basketball players.

Society assigns levels to misdeeds, however, and Beard’s name was attached to something that set off red flags and alarm bells.

Carter was thinking long and hard about giving the keys of the program to a man who had been accused of beating up the woman in his life.

Most successful coaching searches are conducted privately. That’s Carter’s preference, but in this instance he needed to hear from others.

Chancellor Glenn Boyce was one, of course.

“There are some strategic people, whether it’s football or basketball, that you want to reach out to and get their advice and perspective,” Carter said.

There was no pushback on the pursuit of Beard provided due diligence was being done.

Once Carter was satisfied on that front, “from a basketball perspective there wasn’t anybody out there any better.”

Beard is confident success will follow him to Ole Miss. We’ll see.

We’ll also see if Beard stays away from the negative spotlight.

When asked by recruits about that night in Austin, Beard says he just explains what happened and that he’s “comfortable and confident in the truth. A lot of people have been affected. I’ve been extremely remorseful and apologetic.”

Carter’s first big hire, his less risky football gamble, has paid dividends.

At Ole Miss, it’s hard to hire coaches like Chris Beard and Lane Kiffin without the right time of life.

“Just being totally honest, unless there was the issue off the court, and Chris being in a unique situation, we might not have a shot at a coach of that caliber,” Carter said.

For Carter, when the due diligence matches up with the coach on the rebound the gamble is worthy of the risk.

“We’re always going to try to go after heavyweight coaches. Sometimes it helps when there are unique circumstances. It’s been a home run with both of those, but it was definitely unique circumstances.”

Staring mortality in the face at Christmas

Published

My friend Jarrod is dying after an eight year battle with cancer. He’s lived a life worth celebrating, one that has drawn people to Christ.

I was going about my business this week when I received a text that stopped me in my tracks. A college friend was being moved to hospice care.

Jarrod Egley was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in early 2017. In the fall of 2018, tests revealed the cancer had spread to his lungs and Jarrod’s cancer was classified as Stage IV.

For almost eight years from the date of the original diagnosis, he’s fought. Through surgeries, radiation, endless rounds and cycles of chemotherapy, and experimental immunotherapies, he’s fought.

Last year, I flew out to California and spent some time with Jarrod and his wife, Emily. We sat outside one night. He acknowledged to me that it was not a question of ‘if’, but ‘when’ the cancer would claim his life. I told him I was sorry, because what else is there to say?

We talked about our faith, about the trials of Job, about Jacob wrestling with God, about Paul’s affliction. But mostly we reflected on our time together in school, on the good things, and the mundane things, that happened since.

Jarrod and I met at Tulane University. One Sunday morning in the Spring of my freshman year, I rose from my dorm room bed, dressed, and began walking down Saint Charles Avenue in New Orleans with no particular agenda. I walked until I came across First Baptist Church and the thought flickered in the vacuous recesses of my brain to enter.

Some would say it was a lark. The Calvinist in me says providence. The walk that morning changed the trajectory of my time at Tulane and my life on the whole. Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and the Baptist Collegiate Ministry became central to my life and put me in regular league with Jarrod. I met him first at the BCM and we ultimately ended up attending church together.

Jarrod was a faithful servant on and off campus. He helped organize a group of us that would weekly make our way down to the Esplanade seawall on the backside of the French Quarter to feed the homeless. On Friday nights, he could be found at chapel with a small cadre of students foregoing Bourbon Street for early 2000s worship music.

Jarrod was a loyal friend in those years. Never rude or biting. Not prone to an insult for an easy laugh. Persistently encouraging. An engineering student, his mind worked linearly and was oriented to problem solving. There were never a lot of wasted words — always a lot of deliberative questions when he disagreed or did not understand a point. He exhibited intelligence, empathy, and the kind of moral conviction that sets someone apart.

He also had a wry and dry sense of humor and a penchant for beating people at Madden football. He was fair-to-midland on the ultimate frisbee pitch. Along the way, there were crawfish boils, Mardi Gras outtings, poorly attended Tulane football games, and more than a decent amount of wing eating.

After college, I lost touch with Jarrod. He moved back to his home state of California. He got married to his college sweetheart, who could not have anticipated her husband’s journey, but has been a steady and constant helpmate throughout. Jarrod became a very successful engineer and a bourbon connoisseur. One of his bucket list trips took him to Kentucky, where he got to meet and became friends with bourbon “Hall of Famer” Freddie Johnson of Buffalo Trace acclaim.

Jarrod at Buffalo Trace Distillery (Spring 2022).

Sitting in his backyard nearly 20 years after graduating from Tulane, I saw many of the same qualities I had grown to admire when we were students together. I saw a husband who doted on and supported Emily’s passions. But I also saw someone whose body had been beaten to hell and back, who was tired, and who, like Jacob, had been wrestling with God. We quickly fell back into friendship, which perhaps is the mark of good friendship.

We all have aspirations in our youth — for the kind of spouse or parent we might be, for what we might accomplish, for what we might experience. Along the way, dreams are satisfied, modified, or they die on the vine. The clock inevitably works against all of us. That night in Oceanside, California, Jarrod, a numbers guy, saw that time was not on his side. He believed, as we all would, that he still had more to give, more impact to be made, and more things to see and experience.

After that trip, Jarrod and I stayed in touch, most frequently triggered by news of his cancer. It has been mostly the bad variety in recent months. Now spread throughout his body, down to his bones, he has lived in constant pain for months. Not even a steady diet of morphine and an implanted pain pump solve for it. Jarrod’s been hospitalized twelve times just in 2023.

But his matter of fact sense of humor and way of seeing the world remains in tact. So too does his faith that despite these trials, he has always been safe in the hands of Christ.

There are people in the world who believe that life is random, disordered, and without reason. I am not among them. I think my friend is staring mortality in the face at Christmas for a reason.

For thousands of years before Christ came, there was darkness and despair. Sin and shame gripped the hearts of men. Until one holy night, God, in His infinite love, mercy and wisdom, sent His son to save. Jesus is the light of the world and the hope of man. He has won victory over death and Jarrod’s will not be the exception. Jesus came for Jarrod, and for you.

For thousands of years since Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection, His disciples have been used as divine instruments to point the way to God. Jarrod is among them. If life expectancies were the measure, Jarrod would be at the midway point for most people. He’s made a lifetime of impact for the Kingdom and on other people.

So, to my friend Jarrod, you were placed here with a purpose. You have run your race. You are loved. And when this chapter closes, you will hear “well done, my good and faithful servant.” There is no greater evidence of a life well lived.

While Jarrod and Emily have been fortunate to have health insurance, their portion of the medical bills so far in 2023 have eclipsed $30,000, and Emily is facing additional uncovered expenses during Jarrod’s hospice care, including a night nurse that costs over $400 a night. If you would like to help defray the cost, a contribution can be made at their Go Fund Me page.

3. Cassidy arrested in Iowa for beheading Satanic Temple statue

Former Mississippi congressional and legislative candidate Michael Cassidy was arrested this week in Iowa for beheading a statue at the state’s Capitol erected by The Satanic Temple.

Cassidy reportedly decapitated the statue and turned himself to police on Thursday. He was charged with fourth degree criminal mischief. He then started an online legal defense fund where he’s raised upwards of $20,000 as of Thursday night, according to his X account.

4. “Serial fraudster” ordered to cease offering investments into companies

According to the Mississippi Secretary of State’s office, on October 26, 2023, Secretary Michael Watson and the Securities Division issued an order against Stephone N. Patton. The SOS says Patton is a serial fraudster with multiple criminal convictions in Mississippi and Florida.

Through business filings with the SEC and Mississippi, Patton has held himself to be the CEO of various companies, including Star Oil and Gas Company, Inc., North Gulf Energy Corporation, Inc., Patton Oilfield Services, Inc., and Patton Farms, LLC.

The SOS says using these business filings and company websites, Patton claimed to have raised hundreds of billions of dollars through investment opportunities. Through investigative efforts and collaboration with the SEC, the SOS discovered none of Patton’s companies are operational, have any assets, or generate any revenues. Account records show Patton spent investors’ funds almost as soon as he received them on personal expenses. The total amount of known investments made to Patton’s fraudulent companies is over $80,000. Further, none of Patton’s investment offerings have been registered or notice filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office.

The SOS order requires Patton to cease and desist from offering investments with his companies, requiring Patton to permanently deactivate his companies’ websites to prevent any further dissemination of his false or misleading information. Patton is also ordered to pay an administrative penalty of $25,000 to the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office for these violations, in addition to restitution owed to all his Mississippi investors.

National News & Foreign Policy

1. Congressional retirements mounting as 2024 election cycle nears

Retirement and departure announcements are piling up ahead of the start to the 2024 election cycle. The New York Times has developed a Retirement Tracker that currently shows 22 Democrats and 11 Republicans who are in Congress now will not be seeking re-election next year.

“Dozens of members of Congress have announced plans to leave their seats in the House of Representatives, setting a rapid pace for congressional departures, with more expected as the 2024 election draws closer,” the NY Times reports. “Given Republicans’ razor-thin House majority, the wave of exits has the potential to lead to a significant shake-up next year.”

You can find the tracker here.

2. Texas, Daily Wire, The Federalist sue U.S. State Department over media censorship

The U.S. State Department’s Global Engagement Center has come under fire as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton along with The Daily Wire and The Federalist have filed a federal lawsuit alleging that the department funded technology that could “render disfavored press outlets unprofitable.” They claim that the department has helped social media – Facebook, YouTube and X (formerly Twitter) – to censor free speech while funding technologies used to censor right-leaning news outlets such as theirs.

New Civil Liberties Alliance is representing The Daily Wire and The Federalist. Paxton and the outlets claim the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a British think tank, received a $100,000 grant from the State Department in 2021, and NewsGuard, which rates the “misinformation” levels of news outlets, received $25,000 from the State Department in 2020, according to the lawsuit.

According to the State Department’s website, the Global Engagement Center’s mission is to direct, lead, synchronize, integrate, and coordinate U.S. Federal Government efforts to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations.

As reported by Reuters, the lawsuit cited a GDI-produced list from December 2022 that ranked The Daily Wire and The Federalist as among the 10 “riskiest sites” for news while the least-risky included The New York Times, Associated Press and NPR. Reuters notes that the lawsuit alleges such “blacklists” are reducing revenues to The Daily Wire and The Federalist along with their visibility on social media and ranking results from browser searches.

New water rates expected in Jackson come 2024; those who don’t pay face shut off

Published

December 15, 2023

By

Interim Third-Party Director Ted Henifin said this week that only about 59% of the City of Jackson’s water customers are paying their bills.

JXN Water has announced new rates and fees coming in 2024. Those who are not paying will be at risk of shut offs.

The company, which was established by federal appointed interim Third-Party Director Ted Henifin, has been overseeing the city’s water system for the better part of a year.

Officials estimated that the average cost for water in the city was $76 per month for residents. Henifin clarified that JXN water will not attempt to recoup any charges prior to November 29, 2022, and will work with those who have failed to pay since that time.

He said only about 59 percent of the city’s water customers are paying their bills.

“You can’t forgive bills, so we have to be creative in how we part that,” said Henifin in reference to Mississippi’s laws that prevent giving away water.

According to a release by JXN Water announcing the rate changes, residents in single family households with small meters that use up to 748 gallons daily would see a bill increase of roughly .30 cents per day. Research indicates that the average U.S. family uses 300 gallons per day.

SNAP customers will have a new rate tier that could lower their bill by up to .69 cents per day, on average.

“Those who need to save the most benefit from saving money by drinking tap water. This new rate structure makes water affordability possible for 12,500 JXN Water customers who receive SNAP benefits,” said Henifin in the release.

Read more about the anticipated rate changes here.

New fees will also be implemented, including a new service fee of $50, service deposit of $100, returned check fee of $25, service restoration fee of $100, and meter tampering charge of $500. 

JXN Water has continued to encourage residents to use the water, with Henifin going on the record in a federal status hearing saying that the water “was safe to drink.”

More conversation regarding the billing process is expected to come at next week’s Jackson City Council meeting.
