Description
Less than a week after Shaka Smart left Texas for Marquette, the Longhorns secured their No. 1 guy to take over the Texas basketball program in former Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard.
Beard makes his way to Austin after a highly successful run in Lubbock that saw Beard lead the Red Raiders to the program’s first Elite Eight, Final Four and the National title game appearances in school history.
On this week's emergency podcast edition of The Flagship, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes discuss the new Texas basketball coach, who interviewed for the Texas head-coaching role Thursday morning and accepted the job the same day.
The Flagship weighs in on how big of a hire this is for a Texas basketball program that has not made it out of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament since 2008. The hosts also give their take on how this hire shows the investment Texas AD Chris Del Conte is willing to make in an effort to turn the Longhorns back into a team that is a consistent threat in March like Texas previously was in the glory years of the basketball program back in the early 2000s.
Texas fans won’t want to miss this emergency edition of The Flagship Podcast.
