Texas reportedly interested in Chris Beard; could show interest in John Calipari

It has come out today that Shaka Smart is going to be heading to Marquette to become the head coach for the Golden Eagles.

Currently, the Texas Longhorns’ top target to replace Smart is Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard, according to a report from Sam Marsdale at 247 Sports.

If Beard doesn’t seem interested in the position, there has been some rumblings that Texas could show some interest in trying to get John Calipari to Austin.

Kyle Tucker and Kyle Mann both have had some interesting comments to say on the topic.
