theguru Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 The CJ article linked primarily focused on Coach Beatty but there was nothing of substance in the article. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loubballfan Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I have no inside knowledge but I would have to believe Beatty leaving would be the only reason to hold a press conference and not just make an announcement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes perfect sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flea Market Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Will he retire or head to another school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his coaching career, and the fact that he'll be turning 66 in June, I have to think Coach Beatty's next move is retiring to his house on the Lake Of The Ozarks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and on top of that why would anyone in his position want to go somewhere new only to deal with COVID this and COVID that. No thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than some type of mass player scholarship signing (which likely wouldn’t be allowed due to Covid) I can’t imagine what else it could be. I guess we’ll find out soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpride94 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Plenty of rumors this would be his last year. Guess we’ll know if true on Thursday. He’s certainly earned his retirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeReader Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I would have to guess it’s Beatty retiring based from the focus of the article. I don’t think anyone moved the needle quite like he did over the last 20 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfan41 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Beatty had one hell of a run. Are Trinity fans anxious about the future, or was a new head coach already picked out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I have someone telling me that Trinity has been talking to Stefan LeFors about coming back to Louisville from Parkview Baptist in Baton Rouge. If Beatty is, in fact, retiring, LeFors doesn't seem like a bad choice for the next coach. But with both LeFors and his wife being Baton Rouge natives, it seems like it might be a tough sell getting him back to Louisville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might move back for the right amount of money. I’m sure job pays well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLTanker1 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 There will be a national search first. Just like the way they found Beatty. Legos can stay in LA. There are far better candidates out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeuce Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 LeFors doesn't move the needle for me. As with any "local" guy, would he be a candidate if he didn't have local ties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
