A significant first step occurred Wednesday when the Travis County district attorney’s office dismissed a charge of felony domestic violence against Beard,...
“After a careful and thorough review of the evidence, recent public statements, and considering Ms. Trew’s wishes, our office has determined that the felony offense cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,” read a statement from the district attorney’s office.
“Chris Beard engaged in unacceptable behavior that makes him unfit to serve as head coach at our university,” UT wrote. “There seems to be an incorrect underlying assumption that the criminal process outcome dictates Mr. Beard’s employment outcome. But these are different processes, where different decision makers are weighing different factors.”
What Beard probably needs to do next is take steps to show contrition, something that has been lacking so far. The focus has been on disputing the criminal charges and unsuccessfully fighting to keep his job.
