Plus: A stinging loss for Texas baseball
Briefly tenured Texas Longhorns men’s basketball head coach Chris Beard is a top candidate for the head coaching gig with the Longhorns’ oldest rival, Texas A&M.
That’s according to multiple outlets.
Ole Miss coach Chris Beard will be one of the primary candidates for the Texas A&M opening, source told @TheFieldOf68.
Will be interesting to see whether Beard would rather stay in Oxford or head to College Station.

Beard, who currently leads Ole Miss’ program, has guided the Rebels for the past two seasons. Prior to that, Beard was mostly out of coaching for a season after a domestic assault incident forced Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte to part ways with Beard.
