A list of puns related to "Shaka Smart"
Obviously the Twitterverse is going to go crazy with the Chris Beard to UT rumors. I will say this. I’ve consistently believed he would stay at Tech.
Just to add a little something to the possibility of this though, Texas is saving the $7.3 million buyout by having him take another job rather than firing him. By being able to save that money, Del Conte may try to encourage boosters to use that along with some more money to make Beard the highest paid coach in the country. Coming off of a Big 12 conference tournament win (albeit not necessarily well earned) I could see the university trying to “strike while the iron is hot” and get Beard.
I still think he stays here in Lubbock, but I do think this will be the a more realistic possibility now than it has been in past years with the rumors.
That means the Hoosiers will have to compete with the Longhorns. Goodbye Beard or Drew! Dodged one of those bullets.
