Reads like wishful thinking more than anything else.
Sports Bevo cares about in order:
1. Football
2. Football
3. Football recruiting.
4. Baseball
5. Basketball

Not sure how his wife feels about Austin. It's a nice city but maybe not her style.
That's a good question. I wonder if Wright would take their call. I wonder what they would have to pay him. Heard he's above $4 mil at Nova
Now it looks like that but at the time, that program could not have been at a more stagnate state. The lack of progress from Shaka is rather surprising considering the talent that has come through Austin in his short stint.

Texas would be stupid good with Beard. Just about anyone will be stupid good with Beard.
Beard looks like a nice fit at UCLA, I hope.
Barnes at least benefited from the change.
Texas thought they were getting a proven up and comer in Smart, but what made his teams successful at VCU hasn't seemed to work down there.
Beard is an alum. If they shuck Shaka, Chris will surely be the first call. It would be similar to Hugs going home to WVU.
Money is not a problem at Texas. If I'm AD, I shoot for the stars.
Wasn't Huggins born in Morgantown and played for West Virginia? We can probably come up with a better comparison.
they would be stupid not to throw the bank at fred
Chris Beard is a UT alum and was a student assistant for the longhorns.
And went to HS in Texas.
He didn’t play college ball.
Not an exact comparison, but thats about as “home” as you can get these days for coaches.
Beard to UCLA or anywhere not in the Big 12, Texas makes another dumpster fire hire.
Not big enoughNot sure how his wife feels about Austin. It's a nice city but maybe not her style.
Not that it would prevent a move, but I recall hearing that he has family reasons to be in Lubbock, which is part of the reason insta-bailed in UNLV to take the Texh job.

That would be nice. Give him a chance to show what he's learned by coaching at the highest level.
Of course, we know he's learned nothing, but he should have a chance at Texas to prove that.
He's already "home" coaching in Texas. He's more Jamie Dixon than Bob Huggins.
