The stars had to align perfectly for UM to get Beard and at a bargain basement price to boot. He was making $5 mil at Texas and his new contract is for $3.2.
The interim coach at Texas has been a head coach at two prior locations and failed at both. He is winning now bc of Beard's recruits. Unless Texas makes the sweet 16, he will likely be cut loose. Texas players will then hit the portal.
Beard and the fiance have apparently parted ways according to another USA hatchet man, Dan Wolken. Obviously, there was a physical confrontation that led to Beard's arrest. However, there is nothing in Beard's history which suggests a pattern of misconduct so it comes down to a simple risk versus reward decision. Fairly easy decision actually to get a coach of Beard's caliber at that price.
less. If you have not met Jackie’s wife… u don’t mess with her.
