Coach Beard has been a head coach, and he has been an assistant to one of the sport's legends. So he has done it, and he has seen it. BUT he has never done it before at the D1 level. And it is a little different watching someone do it than it is doing it yourself; and it is a little more complicated at the D1 level than at lower levels. Maybe not a lot, but a little.
Obviously, Beard has done a lot of things right. Most things. He has pushed the right buttons so far. But the logic above tells me that he also has to have made some mistakes. I have no idea what they might but, but I am sure he could tell you several. My point is that notwithstanding the great year we are having, our coach still has considerable upside potential. Imagine what he will be able to accomplish with a few years of D1 experience under his belt! It is possible we ain't seen nothin' yet (if we can get him to stay here).
