The Latest “Candid Coaches” Has A Big Omission

Matt Norlander has another one of his Candid Coaches pieces up and this one is about who is this year’s best hire.

The run-away winner? Texas’s Chris Beard.

Shaka Smart got votes too despite his mediocre performance in Austin and some of the comments are interesting. Check this out:

  • “Big Shaka fan. He got f----- at Texas with the one-and-dones. I think he’s a damn good coach.”
  • “He’ll be who he was without the nastiness [around him] in Austin. Texas is a political job, which is why Chris Beard will thrive there.
