Chris Beard Fired At Texas. Crank Up The Carousel Early!

Related Topics: Texas, Rodney Terry

So the Chris Beard era is over at Texas after just 42 games, and rightly so.

Beard, as you probably know, was arrested on felonious domestic violence charges after an altercation with his fianceé and Texas officially fired him Thursday.

The courts will sort out the legal issues. The rest of it is pretty interesting, to say the least.

Currently Rodney Terry, who was previously a Beard assistant, is interim head coach, but Texas is a huge job and UT has always paid top dollar for coaches, so it’s going to be wide open unless he makes a Final Four type run.
