The thing about beard is I see a lot of Billy Gillespi in him. As in, he's a hard nosed coach that is extremely tough on his team in terms of getting them to play physical defense. That system works great at a school like Tech that typically has multiple players in their 3rd year and isn't recruiting 1 and done guys, but when you get the high end offensive studs that Texas is capable of getting they usually don't mesh well with the coaching style. Billy G failed at Kentucky because he couldn't get the 5 star 1 and done studs to buy into his system. Can Beard do better at Texas? I think so but I could easily see it failing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until he becomes the Texas coach his name will always pop up for the gig. He has a history similar to Herman had, Beard was a GA at Texas when Tom Penders was coaching and he has a degree from UT.

topher805 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I don't see Beard and Mussleman leaving their current situations for Texas. Altman is intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I don't see Musselman leaving Arkansas now that he has it rolling. It'll be fairly easy to recruit there now that it's going in a positive direction for him and Arky in the SEC. He is on a great path, Texas should have made that move before Arky hired him! Beard would be a good hire, but I kinda agree that I struggle to think he'd leave Tech. He is a huge deal there. He knows enough about UT to know that he'd be under a GIGANTIC microscope here...win and it was expected...lose and he was that overrated guy that was over his head. With guys like Beard, they have built a reputation and I believe he is smart enough he'd try and build his team the same way (transfers) at UT as at Tech, but also peppering in the big timers too. I think top players would want to play for Beard and there would be good things happening. OK...I think the guys Texas could/should really go after and it would be good, to great moves...
